- The 10 million IOTA token giveaway includes staking rewards on Binance, event raffles, DeFi leaderboard airdrops, and native staking incentives.
- This highlights IOTA’s appreciation for the community and commitment to expanding real-world blockchain utility.
The IOTA Foundation has announced surprise rewards for all investors and donors as it celebrates its 10th anniversary and achieves several milestones in its 10-year journey.
Since its introduction on Bitcointalk in October 2015, IOTA has been at the forefront of developing scalable, decentralized distributed ledgers designed for real-world applications.
Over the past decade, this protocol has evolved from a visionary concept to a technology with tangible impact. This has enabled digital identity systems, tokenized asset markets, DeFi initiatives, and supply chain transparency projects with global companies.
Backed by a growing network of developers and partners, we continue to play a key role in shaping the future of digital trade and finance.
CNF reports that IOTA’s Layer 1 network is currently being adopted across the region, including Africa, Europe, and Asia, underscoring its mission to provide real-world utility. We attribute the growth and progress of this project to the continued support of the IOTA community.
To commemorate the milestone, IOTA announced that it will distribute 10 million native tokens to various ecosystem stakeholders.
