Vote Today: IOTA’s New Protocol Promises Faster, Smarter Blockchain

  • The IOTA Rebased Protocol introduces staking rewards, fee reductions, and programmability to enhance scalability and decentralization, with a governance vote now underway in Firefly or Bloom wallets.
  • If approved, the protocol promises increased transaction throughput, native stablecoins, and tokenized ecosystems, transforming IOTA’s capabilities and value.

The much-anticipated governance voting for IOTA’s Rebased Protocol has officially commenced, marking a pivotal moment for the IOTA ecosystem. With voting accessible via the Firefly or Bloom wallet, participants have seven days to cast their votes, followed by a seven-day counting period. This initiative introduces exciting upgrades poised to redefine the scalability, sustainability, and usability of IOTA’s network.


Why IOTA Rebased Matters

The IOTA Rebased Protocol promises transformative changes, including staking rewards, fee-burning mechanisms, and reduced network fees. These improvements aim to create a scalable ecosystem capable of supporting advanced applications while accelerating the transition to a delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS) system.

Key benefits of the protocol include:

  • Higher Transaction Throughput: The protocol can handle over 50,000 transactions per second (TPS), making it one of the fastest in the blockchain space.
  • Programmability: Full decentralization and programmability on Layer 1 (L1) enable new possibilities, such as tokenizing assets and building decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.
  • Sustainability: Measures like fee-burning create long-term value for token holders and the ecosystem.

The Voting Process: Your Say Shapes the Future

To ensure fairness and accuracy, each IOTA token used for voting accumulates power over time at a rate of 0.01 votes per IOTA per milestone. Holding tokens for the full counting period maximizes voting power, while partial participation reduces it proportionally.

For the vote to be valid, a quorum of 5% of IOTA’s circulating supply must be met. If this threshold isn’t achieved, the process resets. The IOTA Foundation, known for its transparency, oversees the process and invites community verification to validate the results before their public release.


What’s Next for IOTA?

The Rebased Protocol sets the stage for groundbreaking advancements:

  • Digital Product Passports: Tokenized as NFTs for authenticity and collateral-backed lending.
  • Native Stablecoins: Programmability on L1 supports stablecoin minting directly on the network.
  • Tokenized Value Chains: From invoices to physical assets, enabling an entirely tokenized trade finance system.
  • Decentralized DEX: An on-chain order book capable of processing thousands of transactions per second.

These enhancements leverage IOTA’s decade-long expertise and strong partnerships, ensuring a faster market rollout and a robust foundation for the ecosystem.


As IOTA surges 14% in value to $0.32, the community’s voice will determine whether these upgrades will redefine its trajectory. If you’re an IOTA token holder, your vote is a step toward shaping a decentralized future.
