Shimmer Network

Shimmer will accompany IOTA on its path to become a fully decentralized, programmable multi-asset ledger. The series of upgrades that will first be introduced on Shimmer are:
- Programmable multi-asset ledger, with the introduction of output types and tokenization on the base layer.
- Smart Contracts, with the introduction of IOTA Smart Contracts; agnostic multi-chain smart contracts are fully EVM-compatible.
- Full decentralization, with the IOTA 2.0 protocol and its leaderless consensus algorithm, currently live on a public testnet.
- Sharding and further optimizations, such as Layer 1 DeFi and more sophisticated output types.
