Abstract: The TFM intends to make a general study of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, to deepen the study of IOTA for the Internet of Things, analyze its technology, characteristics and vulnerabilities. The main innovation of IOTA is the tangle, a new distributed accounting book, instead of the blockchain that uses cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. In this piece of work, a comparison is made between both technologies, blockchain and tangle, where many similarities are observed. In both cases they are immutable systems, with PoW work tests and using a P2P data structure. The tangle network presents advantages such as transactions with zero commissions, and it is a light and scalable network. These are important features for IoT, since the devices require a low resource consumption system and the ability to issue nano transactions.
