IOTA has a range of features that are uniquely enabled due to its architecture:
- IOTA can achieve high transaction throughput thanks to parallelized validation of transactions with no limit as to the number of transactions that can be confirmed in a certain interval.
- IOTA has no transaction fees.
- IOTA has no miners. Every participant in the network that is making a transaction, actively participates in the consensus. As such, IOTA is more decentralized than any Blockchain.
- IOTA utilized a newly designed trinary hash function called Curl, which is quantum immune.
