In relation to my previous article about IoT Chain (ITC), this article will distinguish the difference between ITC and IOTA, and the use of Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture.
Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture
DAG architecture is a distributed architecture instead of the heavy linked blockchain structure, this will not solve only the present problem of centralization of Bitcoin’s mining but also greatly improves the whole distributed network’s throughput capacity and lowering the transaction cost. DAG architecture is the next generation’s blockchain.
IOTA network utilizes DAG specifically, but why is the approach of IoT Chain better than IOTA?
Complexity of IOTA
The comparison could be made on one specific aspect, IOTA technology is good, but they don’t have their own chips. In order to make use of IOTA, you need a good understanding of the blockchain network. If you want to make use of this technology, IOTA will have to refer any organization or customer to GitHub, you have to understand the tangle, the protocols, the language, it’s a much more detailed and complicated process.
Simplicity of IoT Chain (ITC)
If you make use of the ITC operating system, it’s just a way of using the chip, the software is already there in the chip, you just have to plug the chip in your device and everything its there, in a secure and safe way. Organizations and customers don’t need to understand the technical aspects of this technology. ITC already established partnerships and therefore their approach is user-friendly for organizations and customers. Just plugging the chip in your device, and everything is been taking care of! Only the big companies will understand the underlying technology, most of the small companies will not be able to understand this complex technology. This will avoid a very time-consuming process.
ITC adopts DAG’s data structure to solve performance problems. On the one hand, the transaction performance can be improved. On the other hand, ITC can resist quantum attack. After all, ITC will provide an operating system with the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture for IoT devices, the best in terms of security and confirmation speed of transaction!
