(ID: hashpai), author: not broken, reproduced with authorization.IOTA is a new transaction settlement and data transfer layer designed for the Internet of Things. The technology behind it is not blockchain, but a model called "Tagle". This is a scalable lightweight distributed ledger technology. Unlike the chain structure of the blockchain, "Tagle" uses a network structure based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG), making it Can mine without relying on miners, so as to realize zero-fee value transfer.In the Bitcoin blockchain, nodes are assumed to be "profit-seeking", packaging transactions in order to obtain rewards, so as to maintain the security of the blockchain; and
In IOTA's consensus mechanism, the developers removed the process of relying on miners for mining, and assumed that each node in the Tangle network "hopes that their transactions will be confirmed as soon as possible"
, thus driving them to participate in verification and maintain network security.
