IOTA Introduces New Smart Contracts To Circumvent The Network Flaws

The use of smart contracts remains the key turnaround factor with the cryptocurrency space. Smart contracts brought about the decentralization of digital assets and eliminated third-party interferences in crypto transactions. Distributed ledger and open-source cryptocurrency, IOTA, has just launched a new smart contract beta. This latest move offers its users a platform for getting high-speed and zero-fee transactions. IOTA emerged within the 2017 ICO boom. The digital asset came to support the Internet of Things that harmonizes physical items into the internet and digital world. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency floated to irrelevance as interest in it died down in 2018.

With his determination, the CEO decided not to give up on the project by upgrading it by introducing a critical new upgrade. Advantages Of The New IOTA Upgrade A report reveals that the beta version inculcates an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Thus, ERC-20 tokens are now interoperable within the network. Additionally, the writing of smart contracts is now in Solidity (the programming language of Ether) attached in the tangled language of the network. Furthermore, there is added network sharding on the project. This allows high-degree operability via smart contracts wrapping to the base layer of native tokens. Remarkably, smart contracts creators can set their execution fees which will enable drive-down competitions among different chains. MIOTA is currently facing a decline | Source: IOTAUSD on TradingView In comparison with other networks like Ethereum, several people think that the smart contract implementation of the network is late. Nevertheless, Dominik Schiener, the IOTA CEO, is of a different opinion concerning the issue.

He cited an instance with Cardano’s smart contract that faces limited throughput while IOTA’s provide unlimited scalability. Speaking of the zero-fee on the platform, the CEO said it’s a significant competitive advantage. He explained that the feeless nature of the network serves as the doorway for their numerous opportunities. These include their partnership with multinational companies and governmental agencies and interest from SMEs, startups, and crypto operators. Schiener mentioned that the volatile nature of fees could strain business models and oppose great economic moves. IOTA cuts across promoting ecosystem growth and decentralized application development via project financing. Though MIOTA is making gradual progress, its current price is still far from its former glory. However, the European Commission selected the token last month to feature in its blockchain infrastructure project despite its low position. This selection stands as a possible action that could pave the way for future growth for MIOTA. Featured image from IOTA Services, charts from TradingView.com

What happens when 2 contradicting smart contracts happen at the same time?

So Basically from my understanding (correct me if I’m wrong) when a transaction on a contract is made it is sent by the sender node to be propagated throughout all of the other running nodes mempool. Once included in a mined block this block is sent to all of the other nodes. From this this…

Low Hashrate due to strange reason on 3070ti

So my hashrate dips to 18 from my normal 39-40 on 3070ti. Tried different methods, but after all that, the culprit comes out to be windows explorer. In task manager, explorer is using 100% gpu instead of command prompt. Stopping explorer, hashrate back to normal. What is wrong here? submitted by /u/BrokeHorcrux [link]…
