A single cluster is connected to several other clusters, mainly adjacent ones (in spatial meaning). The structure depends on economic activity in an area. A single cluster can be a group of devices in a building, in a park, in a town, or even on a stretch of road. Some of them are connected to Cluster 0 directly. There are thousands of other clusters formed by nodes interacting via the Internet-of-Things. It consists of nodes interacting via the Internet, main economic cluster actors - big companies - run special software playing the role of a distributed Coordinator. This software does only one thing - it signals that a particular actor has seen certain transactions and will accept them as legitimate ones with some probability. So how IOTA may look in a few years when EC is deployed to the mainnet? I envision the following picture. IOTA relies on EC to enable infinite scalability, the Tangle allows doing that in a seamless manner, a blockchain-based solution would require a band-aid. ![]() EC hypothesis states that the ledger state of a cryptocurrency is determined by the participants of the economic cluster who try to maximize their wealth even if breaking “Longest chain wins” rule is required. Ivancheglo (CfB) describes the concept of Economic Clustering:Įconomic clustering (EC) is the name of a hypothesis created by me in 2013 during the development of Nxt, the hypothesis creation was triggered by Economic majority post of Meni Rosenfeld. What is known is that, as indicated above, ICT allows for a full node to be sharded across many edge nodes (e.g., single-board computers, sensors or micro-controllers) in a highly scalable manner. The capacity of nodes to self-organize in loosely coupled subsystems and clusters, optimized around a particular role or function also obviously relates to the notion of Economic Clustering (EC) that was brought up earlier this year in a blog post by Sergey Ivancheglo. Similarly to swarm intelligence, this enables a cluster of devices to efficiently make transactions without being a full node, but having reduced trust requirements from SPV and light clients.Īt present, Swarm intelligence and control capabilities are in a preliminary testing phase and there is limited available information regarding the exact nature of ICT and its role in the broader IOTA ecosystem. The swarm node version of the IOTA client has always been on the roadmap:Īnother approach planned to enable the IOTA client running in these very resource restrained environments is to shard the core logic and database amongst different devices that then collectively run it. ICT is being developed for the Internet, not for the Internet-of-Things. using the final design of the transaction structure, swarm logic and relying on (static) Economic Clustering instead of the Coordinator for double-spending protection.Įxtra service plugins can be attached to ICTs to allow their operators earn iotas. ICT is an alternative IOTA implementation for swarm nodes running on low-end devices, which Sergey Ivancheglo (a.k.a. One of the more interesting recent developments on the IOTA front has been the release of the IOTA Control AgeNT (ICT for short) initial working implementation.
