IOTA EVM is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 anchored to IOTA's Move-based Layer 1, enabling Solidity dApps with low gas fees and fast finality. The network supports DeFi, real-world asset tokenization, trade infrastructure, and digital identity use cases, with IOTA as the gas token and a bridge for asset transfers between L1 and L2.

IOTA EVM benefits developers seeking full Ethereum tooling compatibility (Hardhat, MetaMask) combined with low-cost execution on infrastructure designed for institutional and trade workloads. The platform serves teams building DeFi protocols, tokenization platforms, trade finance applications, and identity-driven services that require Solidity compatibility within the IOTA ecosystem
