IOTA is a distributed ledger designed specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT). Founded in 2015, it utilizes a unique data structure called the Tangle, which distinguishes it from traditional blockchains by enabling fee-free microtransactions and secure data transfer. The protocol is designed to offer scalability and fast transaction capabilities without the need for miners, relying instead on computational power to facilitate transactions.

The primary use case for IOTA is to address limitations found in blockchain technology, such as transaction speed and costs, particularly as data grows over time. The architecture supports decentralized communication and currency applications for machines in IoT environments. IOTA's governance model and supply cap are structured to support its goal of efficiently handling numerous transactions in a growing network of connected devices.

Risk Report

Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.

Track record score 77 out of 100. With 11.4 years live, the asset shows long operational history. Public records indicate no regulatory actions and one historical incident on record, which is relatively limited versus the age of the network. Research also raised two additional concern(s), including one area scored low, which is reflected in the overall track record moderation.

Developer health score 0 out of 100. Public code and repository activity checks show zero GitHub stars, zero forks, and zero commits in the last 4 weeks, along with zero PR contributors. The flag "norecentcommits" is consistent with the lack of recent development activity reflected in the underlying metrics.

Network security score 65 out of 100. On-chain and historical incident information suggests moderate security with 11.4 years of chain age and one historical incident on record. Economic security is weaker at 31, and there is no hard supply cap, flagged as nosupplycap, which scored 50 and implies potential inflation risk. Still, 91% of total supply is circulating, which supports a more stable liquidity profile.

Social and behavioral score 64 out of 100. Social audience data shows TW (linked) with limited audience metrics, while Telegram has 3,401 members and the other listed community has (linked) audience data unavailable. Sentiment is strongly positive at 85% up and 15% down, and research detected 0 allegations, 0 regulatory issues, and one incidents-related datapoint, though it also notes one bad press item.

Adoption and liquidity score 45 out of 100. Exchange listing data is broad, with 43 CEX listings (19 green-trust), which typically improves accessibility. However, trading activity is mid-to-low at about $15,753,115 in 24h volume, and the market cap tier is scored 0 with the asset market cap at $282,253,332, which contributes to a lower overall liquidity and adoption score.

Inherent crypto risk: Even with a long-lived chain, this asset faces smart-contract or protocol-risk uncertainty common to layer 1 networks, plus specific supply risk from the lack of a hard supply cap, and higher volatility risk implied by moderate liquidity and market cap tiering.
