Streams - Make Data Useful media

Make Data useful

Today, we produce more digital data than ever. The onset of the Internet of Things will increase the amount of data by 79.4 zettabytes by 2025 and accelerate its growth.

Problems

  • How can we organize this data?

  • How can we share it across systems and industries?

  • How can we use it to reduce costs, increase efficiency and unlock an estimated $11.1 trillion economic value?

How does IOTA Streams work?

Streams - Streams media

Streams

All branches of a Stream reference a common root branch and state associated with the original publisher, thus guaranteeing data authenticity.

The Tangle

Data is transferred and secured over an immutable distributed ledger, the Tangle.

Streams - Publisher media

Publishers

Publishers can send non-encrypted, open, data in a Stream for everyone to see. Publishers can also restrict access to their data or make it completely private using public key encryption.

Subscribers

Subscribe to different Streams and pull information from the Tangle to integrate into applications and guide your decision making.

Subscribers can also contribute data to a Stream using various types of cross referencing messages.

Build new decentralized business models

IOTA Streams is currently close to production-ready. The upcoming changes with Chrysalis Phase 2 are factored into its roadmap and will bring it to the next level. IOTA invites developers, corporations and the broader community to look into the extensive documentation, experiment with the repositories, and imagine exciting new use cases using the IOTA Streams Framework.

We also welcome everyone to give feedback, and request additional features for use cases that aren’t possible in the current framework.
