Гаманець для IOTA

What is IOTA (IOTA)?

IOTA is one of the older networks in this field and has changed shape more than once. It began as a feeless directed acyclic graph rather than a chain of blocks, and it now runs a Move-based layer one with delegated proof of stake, where transactions are paid for in IOTA and the fee portion is burned, storage deposits are refundable, and an application can sponsor a user's transaction so the end user never touches the token. Its practical work sits in trade documentation, digital product passports and supply chain identity, which is why you see it in government and logistics deployments more than in consumer apps.

One detail trips up returning holders: the coin used to be quoted in megaIOTA, the MIOTA ticker, before pricing moved to plain IOTA units. Old balances and old screenshots read a million times larger than they look today.

The second detail matters more here. On BNB Smart Chain, IOTA exists as a pegged BEP-20 token - a travel document, not the coin itself. It transfers, it holds value, and it goes nowhere near validators: delegating stake or paying network fees on IOTA requires the native coin at a native IOTA address, reachable only by bridging or going through a service that redeems the pegged version.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): BNB Smart Chain. Keep a little BNB beside it, since that is what the chain charges for a transfer, and both sit in the same wallet that signs with a tap of the card. Parking the pegged IOTA there while you decide what to do with it is a reasonable place to leave it.
