According to a tweet by Colin Brown, a blockchain researcher, IOTA, one of the Layer 1 (L1) blockchain projects, is nearing its 10th anniversary. This milestone represents major advances in global adoption and technological development. With <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/iota-enhances-trust-and-security-in-european-identity-wallets-for-e-commerce/">real-world applications </a>spanning Kenya, the UAE, the EU, and the UK, IOTA has established a strong presence in the government and enterprise sectors.

<h3 id="strong-advancing-defi-ecosystem-and-evm-compatibility-strong">Advancing DeFi Ecosystem and EVM Compatibility</h3> 
One of the key milestones that has occurred in the years since IOTA’s launch has been its integration with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This integration is expected to strengthen the project DeFi ecosystem and bring liquidity of over $30 million to the project, as <a href="https://x.com/OTTI28518618/status/1824358352215838917">highlighted</a> by Dominik Schiener, IOTA co-founder. 
The new incentives for participants and developers strengthen IOTA’s presence even more in the decentralized finance market. The project’s emphasis on innovation makes it sustainable and up-to-date with the current trends in the blockchain industry.&nbsp; 
Additionally, IOTA’s longevity is supported by an experienced team that has successfully navigated through both bear and bull markets over nearly a decade. IOTA, as one of the first Layer 1 (L1) protocols that is still active, is a good example of the project’s growth and development. 
The project is implemented under a non-profit foundation based in Germany and the UAE, which is subject to strict control and examination by independent auditors. This regulatory supervision increases IOTA’s reliability and, thus, makes it a reliable platform for users and investors.&nbsp; 
<h3 id="strong-collaborations-enhancing-the-iota-evm-ecosystem-strong">Collaborations Enhancing the IOTA EVM Ecosystem</h3> 
As IOTA&nbsp; commemorates its 10-year anniversary, it has grown, fueled by strategic partnerships that are driving both technological advancements and sustainability initiatives. These partnerships have proved crucial in delivering new solutions across many sectors and have further established IOTA as a key player in the market.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;One of the partnerships is with Tide Protocol, which has been instrumental in the development of the IOTA ecosystem, as noted in our earlier post. The IOTA Foundation <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/iota-evm-thrives-with-innovative-projects-pushing-the-boundaries-of-defi/">has acknowledged</a> the protocol’s contributions, particularly in enabling the growth and achievement of the IOTA EVM.&nbsp; 
However, there is more to IOTA than technological growth, and it is also tackling environmental concerns.&nbsp; As outlined in our recent blog post, IOTA<a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/plastic-waste-recycling-enhanced-with-iota-ebsi-and-digimarc-implement-dlt-and-dpps-for-provenance/"> recently partnered</a> with Digimarc and Agro2Circular. This partnership enables the establishment of a Digital Product Passport (DPP) that will help counteract plastic waste in agriculture. This initiative focuses on plastic mulch films, which are a major concern for the environment. 
Additionally, <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/iota-unveils-prototype-for-intellectual-property-rights-smart-contracts-and-nfts-for-fair-and-transparent-compensation/">partnership with the</a> European Commission under the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement to enhance IPR management solutions has been vital. This has resulted in the creation of a single, integrated, and efficient system based on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and smart contracts.&nbsp; 
As detailed in our last news piece, Cyberperp recently launched on the IOTA EVM, which has the potential to revolutionize trading on the network. In addition, IOTA EVM <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/iota-evm-highlights-projects-driving-community-growth-and-crypto-innovation/">recently initiated </a>a massive liquidity program through which 172 million IOTA tokens are being given to various dApps to enhance the DeFi activity in the ecosystem.
