What Is IOTA? An Analysis of Tangle Technology, the MIOTA Token, and the Latest Developments

IOTA is an open-source distributed ledger technology designed specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT). At its core is the unique Tangle architecture—rather than a traditional blockchain—which aims to enable zero-fee, highly scalable micropayments and data exchange between devices. The native token, MIOTA, is used to facilitate these transactions. Driven by the IOTA Foundation, the project’s strategic focus has shifted toward building infrastructure for global trade markets and actively developing Real-World Asset (RWA) applications. This article provides an in-depth look at IOTA’s technical principles, token use cases, major trading platforms, and recent key developments.
