Welcome to IOTA
IOTA is an asset-oriented programming model powered by the Move programming language. Bringing the real world to Web3 with a scalable, decentralized and programmable DLT infrastructure. Developed by the IOTA Foundation, IOTA provides developers with a powerful platform to build secure and efficient decentralized applications.Key features
Asset-oriented programming
Built on Move, IOTA uses an asset-oriented model that treats digital assets as first-class citizens with strong ownership guarantees
High performance
Scalable infrastructure designed to handle real-world Web3 applications with fast transaction finality
Developer-friendly SDKs
Comprehensive TypeScript SDK and Rust CLI tools with extensive documentation and examples
Multiple networks
Deploy on localnet for development, devnet for testing, or mainnet for production
Network endpoints
Connect to IOTA networks using these endpoints:- Localnet:
http://127.0.0.1:9000(for local development) - Devnet:
https://api.devnet.iota.cafe(for testing) - Devnet Faucet:
https://faucet.devnet.iota.cafe:443/gas
