Tangle
IOTA’s DAG based alternative to the blockchain data structure, aimed predominantly at the IoT sector. It provides high throughput and instantaneous, feeless transactions. Each network participant also functions as a node in the Tangle network, with all users confirming transactions in order to send transactions themselves.
In a sentence
The Tangle records transactions in a directed acyclic graph rather than a conventional blockchain.
