How to deploy smart contracts on IOTA

IOTA is an open-source distributed ledger technology distinct from traditional blockchains, utilizing a directed acyclic graph known as the Tangle, which allows for fee-free transactions and parallel processing, leading to faster transaction validation times compared to Ethereum and Bitcoin. The article aims to simplify the deployment of smart contracts on IOTA, detailing the setup and execution of smart contracts using the IOTA Smart Contract Protocol (ISCP) and the Remix IDE. It guides readers through the steps of deploying a node, chain, and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) contract on IOTA, emphasizing IOTA's potential despite its early-stage development and confusing documentation. The piece highlights the environmental benefits of IOTA's gasless infrastructure and provides resources for further learning, while also promoting LogRocket for monitoring and debugging web applications.
