Let's take a trip through the major releases on the @iota network since #chrysalis this April. 🧵(1/13)

Their brand new wallet, #Firefly, was released on April 21 in preparation for the token migration to the new #chrysalis network (#IOTA 1.0 -> #IOTA 1.5). (2/13)

Then the #chrysalis network (1.5) went live on April 28. The coordinator is still active, but this sets the stage for #coordicide (#IOTA 2.0) in the future. (3/13) blog.iota.org/the-new-chrysa…

The @iota Identity protocol, which is an implementation of decentralized digital identity, had it's beta release on May 10. (4/13)

Next, the @iota 2.0 DevNet, the first fully #decentralized #IOTA network with NO coordinator, was released on June 4. (5/13)

In July, on-tangle voting was outlined as an improvement to the #decentralized #IOTA 2.0 consensus mechanism based on findings from the DevNet and work began on further research and implementation. (6/13)

@Ledger support was added to #firefly on Aug 5, allowing hardware wallet users to migrate their tokens, (7/13)

while work continued on the 2.0 DevNet. (8/13) blog.iota.org/iota-2-0-detai…

In October, the @iota Smart Contracts Protocol (#ISCP) Beta was released, including support for the #Ethereum Virtual Machine and contracts written in Solidity, Go, and Rust [Typescript (AssemblyScript) added soon after]. (9/13)

November was a big month, we got an update on the progress of development for #Firefly mobile, where the team opened the development to the public. (10/13)

As well as the @iota Tokenization Framework Specifications, laying out the vision for the #iota mainnet to become a multi-asset ledger with smart contracts and seamless cross-chain asset transfers (#feeless Native Tokens and #NFTs). (11/13)

They also introduced #staking, where $IOTA holders will be able to #stake their tokens in preparation for the launch of @shimmernet and $SMR, IOTA's incentivized staging network, allowing quicker development and implementation of new advances. (12/13)

And last but not least, they announced @assembly_net and $ASMB, a permissionless, multi-chain network for smart contracts built on @iota. Staking $IOTA during the 90-day staking period will therefore generate #SMR tokens AND #ASMB tokens. (13/13)
