UTXO Alias Output

Each smart contract instance has a program with a collection of entry points and a state.

A guide to familiarizing yourself with the IOTA repository, branch and network structure, SDKs, CLI, and recommended IDEs and plugins.

The call context is a predefined parameter to each smart contract function, which allows you to access the functionality that the call environment provides.

Smart contracts can be invoked through their entry points, from outside via a request, or from inside via a call.

Guide to connecting to an IOTA network for development and production.

IOTA Smart Contracts consensus is how Layer 2 validators agree to change the chain state in the same way.

Guide to creating an IOTA address for accounts and transactions.

The Decentralized Identifiers (DID) standard from W3C is the fundamental standard that supports the concept of a decentralized digital identity. Explore the basic aspects of the DID standard.

An introduction to getting started with IOTA Rebased development.

IOTA Smart Contracts chains keep a ledger of on-chain account balances. On-chain accounts are identified by an AgentID.

The current release of IOTA Smart Contracts also has experimental support for EVM/Solidity, providing limited compatibility with existing smart contracts and tooling from other EVM based chains like Ethereum.

Smart Contracts can only interact with the world by using the Sandbox interface which provides limited and deterministic access to the state through a key/value storage abstraction.

Smart contracts are applications you can trust that run on a distributed network with multiple validators all executing and validating the same code.

The state of the chain consists of balances of native IOTA digital assets and a collection of key/value pairs which represents use case-specific data stored in the chain by its smart contracts outside the UTXO ledger.

A guide to familiarizing yourself with the IOTA repository, including branch and network structure.

Each chain is run by a network of validator nodes which run a consensus on the chain state update.

Verifiable credentials are statements about the holder. They can be verified online or in person, and the holder decides who to share them with.

Verifiable presentations are a way for a holder to present one or more verifiable credentials to a verifier.
