IOTA

IOTA is an open-source distributed ledger. It uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) instead of a blockchain.
IOTA's DAG is referred to as the tangle, and is a generalization of the block chain protocol.

Highly Scalable > Increased network activity decreases transaction settlement times

Low resource requirements >Designed for tiny devices, such as sensors, to participate

Zero-fee transactions > Send 1 cent and receive 1 cent, send $1,000,000 and receive $1,000,000

Secure data transfer > All data is encoded, allowing secure data transfer, storage and reference

Offline transactions > Devices never need perfect connectivity

Quantum Immune > Using special signatures IOTA is resilient to the next generation of computing
