IOTA is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure built for global trade, supply chains, and economies where data, assets, and identity interact freely and securely. Unlike traditional blockchain systems that rely on miners and blocks, IOTA uses delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS) with permissionless validators, enabling anyone to exchange value directly without permission, gatekeepers, or friction. Secured by the Starfish Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus protocol, the network delivers over 50,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality.

IOTA operates as a fully decentralized Layer 1 network secured by delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS). Token holders delegate their IOTA to validators, who are selected based on delegated stake and participate in transaction validation. The Starfish BFT consensus protocol ensures the network continues operating reliably even when some validators experience delays, making it well suited for enterprise-grade applications in global trade and supply chains. There are no miners, and transactions are processed with sub-second finality at over 50,000 transactions per second.

IOTA is purpose-built for real-world deployment across global trade, supply chains, and digital identity. Its Trade Worldwide Information Network (TWIN) platform is designed to digitize and streamline cross-border trade, reducing friction and increasing transparency across global supply chains. Beyond trade, IOTA supports verifiable digital identity solutions built on W3C standards, enabling secure credentials for individuals and institutions. Smart contracts on Layer 1 further expand the range of applications, from automated trade finance to government services and enterprise integrations across multiple continents.

IOTA traces its roots to the Jinn project, introduced through a crowdsale in September 2014, before pivoting to become IOTA, launched on mainnet in 2016. The project was co-founded by Sergey Ivancheglo, Serguei Popov, David Sønstebø, and Dominik Schiener. The IOTA Foundation, a non-profit headquartered in Berlin, Germany, was formally established in October 2017 and is chaired by co-founder Dominik Schiener. Since launch, IOTA has undergone significant technical evolution, transforming into a high-performance, fully decentralized Layer 1 network with a strategic focus on global trade, supply chains, and digital identity infrastructure, with live deployments across multiple continents.
