IOTA to Release Smart Contract Network ‘Assembly’ And Distribute ASMB Token

The ledger IOTA aims to become “a fully decentralized, feeless
multi-asset ledger” by launching Assembly in 2022, a
governance layer one for permissionless smart contracts, along with
the native token ASMB that will open the doors for the network’s
main stakeholders, who would be democratizing Assembly. IOTA’s
founders say the ledger is a “public permission-less backbone for
the Internet of Things that enables interoperability between
multiple devices.” It aims to provide decentralized transactions
accessible for everyone, without the need for miners or blocks,
offering solutions for the cost fees, increasing scalability, and
staying secure by using the Tangle network. As the Shimmer network
was released only two weeks ago along with its own token -with real
monetary value, most likely to be traded on crypto exchanges- to
stake, some skeptical users questioned the actual need for
Assembly, but enthusiasts have compared to a scalable Ethereum
without imposed fees. Smart contracts will be allowed to run for
free, but there is an option to put a price when high computing
power is needed, in which cases supply and demand will determine
prices. Smart contract chains can be fully run from Assembly’s own
network, which is the reason for all activities to be anchored to
the IOTA Tangle to provide trust by “making them fully immutable
and secure”. Related Reading | IOTA Smart Contracts Enter Beta
Phase To Circumvent Network Flaws The Staking Of Assembly (ASMB)
Token Proof of Stake also works to provide trust. As a
decentralized network, of course, Assembly has no central system to
reach if a user requires assistance, so staking comes to play as a
wide community is meant to be built through the ASMB token, with
members who care about the safety and maintenance of the network:
validators. If validators do not play the role of making sure the
rules are followed, they get penalized. Just as well, playing by
the rules generates revenue for validators in form of more tokens.
All that is required to deploy smart contract chains or become a
validator is to run a node or own “a small amount” of the ASMB
token “to stake as a security deposit”. The ASMB token will have
“70% going to the community”. In the beginning, tokens will be
created during a 90-day period when users will be able to “stake
IOTA tokens in order to earn ASMB tokens.” -by locking IOTA on the
Firefly wallet-, then tokens will be able to get claimed for free,
and there will be a period 2 years for users to get their staking
rewards. 20% of the initial token supply will go to IOTA holders.
Afterward, there will be more staking periods for the ASMB token
distribution. Assemble was further described by Dominik Schiener,
IOTA’s co-founder, as: A fully decentralized, permissionless
network. It’s an extension of the Smart Contracts framework (live
in Beta), and adds a validator pool, the ASMB token, staking and
slashing. Anyone can deploy fully sharded smart contract networks
on Assembly, while benefitting from the shared security, trustless
interoperability, and feeless transactions. No more bridges, relays
or M-of-N multisigs. We’re here to connect smart contracts. … What
makes Assembly so unique is that you can customize fees and
incentives. He also stated the Assembly’s journey is only starting
and they will be sharing more details on the Builders Program and
the support that teams building on Assembly and IOTA will receive.
“Hint: It involves a lot of financial support”, he said. Related
