![]() ![]() That was because, according to Schiener, the hypothesis of the future was that ternary is a much better and more efficient way to encode data. Reusing an address could lead to a loss of funds.Īnother questionable decision was choosing to use ternary, rather than binary encoding for data. IOTA’s cryptography only allowed, for example, to utilize an address once. IOTA wanted to be quantum-proof, and that’s why it used a “special cryptography,” as Schiener put it. What went wrong then, and how is IOTA going to fix it - besides introducing a new wallet? Schiener focused on some key technical decisions that proved wrong, and are being retracted. “A new distributed ledger that doesn’t need the miners, the electricity, or the transaction fees to really have a protocol, a technology that is going to be production-ready and that billions of users, including machines and humans, are able to utilize and benefit from,” as Schiener summed up the vision. Unlike those, however, the data structure it uses is a directed acyclic graph (DAG), called the tangle: IOTA, like blockchains such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, is a distributed ledger. Its main premise, namely solving the issues around blockchain by introducing a different data structure, remains. Perhaps that could be seen as a metaphor for the new IOTA. The new wallet has no 3rd party integrations, and it has been rewritten, modularized, and thoroughly audited a number of times, he went on to add. Schiener said that the vulnerability in the previous version of IOTA’s wallet was due to 3rd party integration. Before we get to Chrysalis, what it is, and how it resolves IOTA’s issues, however, let’s start with IOTA’s new wallet, which was rolled out today. This upgrade, codenamed Chrysalis, marks a new dawn for IOTA, Schiener said. The important thing, Schiener noted, is to acknowledge and own those mistakes, and move forward.īackground pattern: IOTA is reinventing itself, with what it calls “A new dawn” for the project© Provided by ZDNet IOTA is reinventing itself, with what it calls “A new dawn” for the projectįor the last 1.5 years, IOTA has been working on a network upgrade, which Schiener said will resolve the issues. ![]() Sometimes these mistakes are technical, sometimes they are mistakes in communication – getting into public fights, for example. “The IOTA project in 2021 is a completely new project compared to 2017 because as you can probably understand when you start from nothing, which IOTA really did, and you build up something, you make many mistakes along the way”. For the IOTA Foundation, a lot of things have changed, including the core team. The real question, however, is how much the technology and the people behind and into it have matured. Fast-forwarding to today, and the world at large is still trying to figure out crypto, most ICOs have gone awry, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are all the rage. Crypto was just entering the mainstream then, and ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) were all the rage. Lots of water has flowed under the bridge since 2017. Blockchain for nothing and transactions for free? But that really is just the tip of the iceberg in a massive new technology rollout that will get things right this time, IOTA Foundation Co-founder and CEO Dominik Schiener told ZDNet. Today IOTA is rolling out the beta version of its new wallet. IOTA is reinventing itself, with what it calls “A new dawn” for the project As a result, IOTA lost momentum and market cap: from 4th overall, with a market cap of $13,2 billion in 2017, to 25th, with a market cap of $4 billion today.īackground pattern: IOTA is reinventing itself, with what it calls “A new dawn” for the project © ZDNet That, and a few more mishaps, is what happened to IOTA since 2017. One of the worst things that can happen to a cryptocurrency is a wallet hack.
