IOTA is an open-source distributed ledger and cryptocurrency designed for the Internet of things (IoT) It uses a directed acyclic graph to store transactions on its ledger, motivated by a potentially higher scalability over blockchain based distributed ledgers. IOTA does not use miners to validate transactions, instead, nodes that issue a new transaction on the network must approve two previous transactions.
