IOTA and Shimmer: Two Different Paths
In response to the swirling rumors, Schiener has clarified that both IOTA and Shimmer will continue to exist, but each will target different market niches. IOTA is set to concentrate on fulfilling its original visions such as enterprise adoption, while Shimmer aims to capture a considerable share of the crypto market.
