IOTA climbed to its highest levels in more than three years on Tuesday. Investors and traders thought that the planned upgrade of its Internet-of-Things protocol would entice them.

Dominik Schiener, co-founder and CEO of the IOTA Foundation, shared details about their substantial upgrade due in April 2021. The new system, dubbed “Chrysalis,” promises a distributed ledger that does not require miners, electricity, or even transaction fees.

IOTA is likewise heading toward what it terms Coordicide with Chrysalis. This is a fancy term that just means eliminating the network’s coordinator node, which aids in transaction validation.

For a long time, this has been a significant critique of IOTA. According to Schiener, a lot of studies went into refining IOTA’s consensus protocol so that it could run completely decentralized.

Another element worth mentioning is rate control, which is the process of determining which transactions among those issued favors. In IOTA, this will accomplish by having IOTA token holders issue Mana tokens. Which will use to assist share the network’s limited resource, transaction throughput.

This, according to Schiener, allows IOTA to extend its transaction processing without incurring transaction fees. It could prevent use cases from working, as is the case with Bitcoin and Ethereum.

People today have distinct frequencies in a spectrum, according to Mr. Schiener. They also have a variety of owners, including telecom firms as well as investors. The same will happen with IOTA. Where significant organizations who want to use the network would also buy IOTA tokens, which will enable them to use it.

In that vein, Schiener mentioned initiatives he’s working on with Zebra Technologies and Trademark East Africa. Alvarium, collaboration with Dell, is a project that illustrates IOTA’s perspective.

Project Alvarium to protect data from IoT devices

The goal of Project Alvarium is to protect data from IoT devices and provide confidence scores to such data. Those scores signify trust in clean data that is safe to use, disseminate, and monetize.

Alvarium, according to Schiener, is a really intriguing initiative that will be open-source. IOTA is in talks with Intel and other significant corporations, in addition to Dell, to create Alvarium as a standard and a product, according to Schiener.

Throughout February and March, market speculators pounced on Mr. Schiener’s wordings, driving up prices for the IOTA/USD instrument. In total, the pair increased by more than 450 percent in 2021, including gains on Tuesday that looked to be in contrast to the rest of the cryptocurrency market’s dips.

IOTA’s current upward surge pulled it out of its previous trading range, which had formed an Ascending Triangle. The rise, which was accompanied by a surge in volume, hinted to a possible breakthrough, implying that the IOTA price might rally further in the coming sessions, with an upside target of $2 or higher.
