IOTA Developers Launch Alpha Version Of ISCP Smart Contract Platform – Bits Media

IOTA developers launched a stable version of the IOTA Smart Contracts Protocol smart contract platform (ISCP). The new platform will allow developers to compile and test smart contracts.

According to article
On the IOTA blog, Alpha version of the smart contract platform is created on Rust language and webassembly structure, that puts it on the development environment, similar to some of the later smart contracts, eg, Policop и Near Protocool.

The overall ISCP architecture is also somewhat similar to existing cartridge -based projects. Supporting chains will act as a second-level environment, Confirmed Tangle. Validators do not need to check all chains at once, Since the creators of the chain of smart contracts will directly choose the validator purpose mechanism. This allows you to create as open networks, and controlled corporate networks.

The IOTA team expects, that the alpha release of the smart contract platform will attract developers, who want to create applications in the DEFI industry and with NFT tokens. The alpha version of ISCP unfolds in parallel with the goshimmer test network, in an environment without a coordinator.

Mana module, which will be released this month, will integrate ISCP chains directly into this test network without a coordinator. At the same time, developers will be able to deploy insulated test networks for DAPPS development in infrastructure based on IOTA. ITA spokesman said, that smart contracts will become an integral part of the upcoming deployment of Coordicide update, which will signal the launch of IOTA 2.0.

Recall, that last month Iota Foundation planned
CHRISALIS update deployment in the main IOTA network to March, and the addition of tokenization to the network in the first half of the year 2021 of the year.
