Limitations of Blockchain and the IOTA Tangle
The Tangle is an alternative type of distributed ledger technology; it is a Directional Acyclic Graph (DAG). Here, Brian covers the limitations of Blockchain and provides solutions offered by the Tangle.
Overview
Amongst others, the main issue with blockchains are their speed and scalability problems. The Tangle provides an alternative: a true open source distributed ledger technology space, whilst simultaneously eliminating the environmentally unsustainable impact of miners and of securing blockchain DLT data.
Key learning objectives:
Identify the limitations of blockchain technology
Explain the uses of Tangle to overcome the blockchain constraints
Describe the benefits of the Tangle
