To prevent this from ever happening again, the newly appointed ETC Core team has developed an alert system that surveils the level of threat to Ethereum Classic’s blockchain. The system looks for suspicious activity based on block analysis and block propagation patterns.

IOTA is a scalable, decentralized, feeless, modular, open-source distributed ledger protocol that goes 'beyond blockchain' through its core invention of the blockless ‘Tangle’. The IOTA Tangle is a quantum-resistant Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). IOTA has no fees to transact and no scaling limitations; network transaction speed grows with activity. IOTA grows via transactors, not miners / stakers, thus avoiding centralization.

IOTA is aiming to be the backbone of the emerging machine-to-machine (m2m) economy of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), data integrity, micro-/nano- payments, and other cases where a scalable decentralized system adds value.
