IOTA Basics
IOTA is not a blockchain. IOTA is a scalable open source communication protocol with tokens (cryptocurrency) used for value transfers. It is developed and provided by the non-profit IOTA Foundation (foundation under German law) with headquarters in Berlin.
The goal of the IOTA Foundation is to create a Trust Layer for the Internet of Everything (IoE), which enables devices to exchange data and values immutable and free of charge. IOTA is working with the industry and the Object Management Group to standardize its communication protocol. With a high level of interoperability IOTA will be the “Ledger Of Everything”. Its infrastructure can also be used by external applications without permission.
