New IOTA Roadmap Details Released: Privacy, Scalability, & Software Upgrade

The last days of the year are typically used to create meaningful pledges. The IOTA Foundation, a team known for bringing the blockchain to the Internet of Things, has already made its New Year's Resolution.

Technology for Real-Word Use

First of all, the IOTA Foundation plans to update the current IOTA technology stack in order to support the demand of real-world applications. Among the most progressive solutions are its autopeering technology, which allows a node to run and automatically connect with its neighbors instead of having the user perform a manual search for the most suitable peers.
