IOTA releases beta version of smart contracts!

 



The development at IOTA continues. 

With its system, IOTA supports user-friendliness with a uniform structure based on the model of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (abbreviated EVM). Thus, the currently largest ecosystem is connected to the base of IOTA. Contracts concluded there can be easily transported to the solution via IOTA.

IOTA's argument - low fees

 Such contracts can always be concluded with no future additional costs or delay points. The fees for this are set by the owners. Since multiple owners will always compete for the cheapest contract, the execution of a contract will always result in very low costs. Supply and demand regulate the price.

The developers of a smart contract always have full freedom over the design of their contract with regard to details such as flexibility, length, and type.

IOTA itself describes the advantage in the following words:


In addition, a start has been made to offer full interoperability of tokenized assets on the base layer of IOTA, which can be transferred and used in intelligent contract chains. This will provide the ability to transfer assets between different smart contract chains at no additional cost, completely trustworthy and with no transaction fees thanks to the callous IOTA base layer that acts as a trustworthy bridge. We believe that this particular feature alone will create unprecedented value for NFT marketplaces and developers in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized exchanges (DEX) sectors.

In addition to the mentioned argument of full compatibility with the EVM and low fees, there are a few other highlights at IOTA:

  • Full operational interventions between all smart contracts will be possible in the future
  • Flexible development environment for creating apps
  • High scalability with the right incentives for the developer
  • What are the next steps now?

    The IOTA team will now focus on the next releases (milestones). A small step is still missing in order to transfer it to the current mainnet "Chrysalis" in a user-friendly and robust manner in the future.

    IOTA itself comments on this as follows:

    The team advertises that as much as possible is tested in order to be able to remove possible bugs in good time and to be able to fully implement the product as quickly as possible.

The current IOTA mainnet and the fully decentralized future IOTA 2.0 protocol have some fundamental differences that make it difficult to support both at the same time. Our main focus is therefore on supporting smart contracts on the current IOTA mainnet with the Hornet Node software.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
