The complete reference for IOTA and Shimmer
Build apps capable of taking millions of users on journeys they've never been on before. Simple. Scalable. Secure.
Use IOTA
What is IOTA?
An open, feeless and scalable distributed ledger, designed to support data and value transfer.
What is Shimmer?
A scalable and feeless network enabling frictionless decentralized and scalable Web3 economies.
Pick a wallet
Choose a wallet to store your public and private keys and interact with the IOTA network.
IOTA SDK
With the IOTA SDK you can easily integrate IOTA into your own applications.

Application Libraries
With the IOTA application libraries you can easily integrate IOTA into your own applications.
Identity
The IOTA Identity framework serves as a unifying layer of trust by implementing common standards for Decentralized Identity that work across various DLTs as well as IOTA-specific methods, catering to individuals, organizations, and objects.
Create an identityStreams
The IOTA Streams framework provides a secure protocol for message verification and protection using the Channels protocol for flexible structuring of channels, publishers and subscribers.

IOTA Smart Contracts
The IOTA Smart Contracts Protocol brings scalable and flexible smart contracts into the IOTA ecosystem. With control over gas fees and privacy settings, supporting both Rust/Wasm and Solidity/EVM smart contracts.
Nodes and extensions
Nodes are the core of an IOTA network. They run the node software, which gives them read and write access to the IOTA network. You can extend their functionality with additional extensions such as INX plugins or the Wasp software for Smart Contracts
Hornet
Hornet is an easy-to-install node software that offers full node capabilities and network updates, granting you direct access to the IOTA network and contributing to its resilience by validating messages and transactions.
