- Infrastructure coins like Chainlink, VeChain, and IOTA are aimed towards building stronger infrastructure for the ecosystem.
- IOTA concerns itself with the building of a network that is feeless and faster than conventional blockchains.
- Chainlink’s endeavours have seen it strive to reform blockchain as we know it by creating the first blockchain oracle network
- VeChain assists the enterprise to build a solid infrastructure that will allow for greater collaboration and seamless flow of information between stakeholders.
Although blockchains have been around for over 10 years, there is a consensus that the industry is still in its infancy, and there is still a lot to be improved upon. After Bitcoin launched in 2009, Ethereum was developed to remedy the lapses of the Bitcoin network, particularly the scalability issues associated with it.
Recently, there have been giant strides in blockchain to make them scalable, interoperable, and fast, providing wider latitude to build projects with a wide range of applications. Chainlink, VeChain, IOTA, and Hedera Hashgraph are among the assets championing new and better infrastructure.
Chainlink
Chainlink was founded in 2014 with the objective of creating a better blockchain for developers. Central to Chainlink’s plan is the resolution of the problem of communication on and off the blockchain. It aims to achieve this through the use of Oracles, and in fact, Chainlink is credited as the first blockchain oracle network in the world.
By implementing this technology, users can ensure that the data received is accurate and not corrupted. Furthermore, nodes work seamlessly, and in the event of a failure, a replacement is sourced automatically. Through this groundbreaking technology, decentralized exchanges (DEX) can find the prices of cryptocurrencies without the offering of an order book.
Chainlink
IOTA is striving to build an infrastructure that will be the go-to platform for the execution of transactions between Internet of Things devices. The absence of miners and fees makes IOTA an attractive alternative to users seeking to experience great speeds and cost-effective transactions.
IOTA can be deployed in a series of uses, such as protecting the integrity and verifiability of data and in ensuring the sustainability of global trade and supply chains.
At the moment, IOTA trades at $1.05 and is the 37th largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $3 billion. Trading volume is at 174 million in the last 24 hours, and the coin has a market share dominance of 0.19%.
