IOTA is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) that allows devices in an IOTA network to transact in micropayments and to send each other immutable data.
To join an IOTA network and to start validating and storing transactions, you need to download and install one of the available types of node software.
Wallets are applications that store your seed and keep a record of transactions in a database. You can use wallets to simplify the process of securing your seed, sending transactions, and managing your balance.
Application blueprints are documents that explain how the IOTA technology can be used to solve real-world problems and to support well-defined business needs.
IOTA allows devices on the Internet of Things to use the Tangle as a single source of truth, where they can buy, sell, or simply send data among each other for zero fees.
