- A recent article highlights some use cases and the potential of IOTA.
- Despite its huge potential, the asset is still struggling to bounce back to a new all-time high.
With the rising popularity of decentralized applications, IOTA (MIOTA) is one of the few platforms that has been largely adopted by the crypto and blockchain industry. In a recent article, the potential of the platform for decentralized applications, and its use cases for dApps has been highlighted.

According to the article, IOTA could become the leading platform for decentralized application development, some of these reasons including its flexibility.
For example, IOTA’s partnership with Volkswagen is exploring the use of IOTA for secure over-the-air software updates and data transfers in autonomous vehicles. This kind of integration shows how IOTA can be used to solve real-world problems in various industries, and there are likely to be many more use cases as IOTA continues to grow.
Also, its growing community and ecosystem are other factors. The ecosystem has dedicated developers, researchers, and users actively working to improve the network. With this, the platform can be sustained for the long term and become even better.
PwC recently predicted that IOTA could be used for 20 percent of all IoT devices by 2030. This strongly indicates that there is a rising demand for scalable and secure dApp platforms like IOTA. Regardless of these potentials, the challenges of the network were highlighted.
Of course, there are challenges and limitations to be overcome as well. For example, IOTA’s security and scalability have been questioned in the past, and it will be important for the platform to continue to improve in these areas. Additionally, there is competition from other dApp platforms like Ethereum, which has a larger developer community and a more established ecosystem.
Use Cases of IOTA
One important use case of IOTA is IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions. Its incredible architecture makes it easier to handle large amounts of data generated by IoT devices. The feeless transaction of the platform makes it suitable for micropayment. The article noted that fees attached to this kind of transaction in the traditional financial system make it unprofitable.
Supply chain management and traceability is another important use case of network. With the platform, companies improve their effort of transparency and accountability. It also helps in verifying the origin and authenticity of goods. This ensures compliance with regulations and standards.
Beyond these specific use cases, IOTA has the potential to be used in a wide range of other decentralized applications. For example, IOTA could be used to create decentralized marketplaces, voting systems, and social networks. The scalability and security of IOTA’s architecture make it well-suited for these and other use cases, and the growing ecosystem of developers and projects on the IOTA platform suggests that there is a lot of potential for innovation in the future.
IOTA has come up with several interesting updates, but the price of its native asset has failed to surge in reflection of these. In the last seven days, IOTA has fallen by 9 percent to trade at $0.181910. The asset is also 96 percent down from its all-time high.
