The IOTA Foundation announced via a blog post on Tuesday that it has launched the IOTA Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), a fully EVM-compatible Layer 2 solution for the IOTA network.

IOTA EVM introduces features like smart contracts, cross-chain functionality, parallel processing, and enhanced security against Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). The IOTA EVM supports parallel transaction processing, enabling horizontal scalability and deployment across various chains.

IOTA EVM enhances fairness by preventing front-running and value extraction through unpredictable transaction ordering. 

IOTA is a permissionless distributed ledger "for a new economy." IOTA aims to support the growth of a machine economy by enabling "fee-less machine-to-machine payments," offering greater scalability than blockchain networks. IOTA is trading at $0.2491, up by 8% in the last 24 hours.
