IOTA Hierarchies Alpha is Live

In a digital world where trust is often assumed but rarely proven, IOTA Hierarchies introduces a new paradigm: cryptographically verifiable trust delegation. Developed by the IOTA Foundation, this open-source tool makes trust explicit, transparent, and auditable across people, organizations and devices.

Key Features

Multi-Network Support: Operates on IOTA’s Mainnet, Testnet, and Devnet.
Flexible Integration: Can work with IOTA Identity or as a standalone system.
Trust Framework Components: Federations - groupings of trusted entities, Root Authorities - foundational trust anchors and Statements, Accreditations, Attestations - building blocks of verifiable trust chains.

Why It Matters?

This technology enables build apps with transparent trust management including credential systems, IoT security or multi-party authorization. This is particularly relevant for applications in pharma, luxury goods and education where implicit trust becomes quickly verifiable.
