Initial Coin Offerings have been the gold standard for generating funds in the cryptocurrency industry. Well, the IOTA community has proposed a new way to generate funds through Initial Service Offerings. As opposed to Initial Coin Offerings, the Initial Service Offerings do not require the creation of new tokens. It is similar to kickstarter which promises a product or service in exchange for funding.
How Do ISOs Work?
Everyone knows that IOTA has had the primary goal of dominating the Internet of Things. Compared to other third generation projects, IOTA looks ready to take over the system. Some time ago, IOTA developed Tangle and replaced the blockchain with it making the platform blockless.

The Initial Service Offering is a model that offers anyone who wants to build on Tangle an opportunity to build without minting tokens and selling them afterwards as it is with Initial Coin Offerings. These ISOs will be conducted with the MIOTA tokens and not other ERC-20 tokens. Instead, participants will be promised products or services. This way, there will be less speculation on new tokens.
You’ll recall that in 2017, investors saw ICOs as guaranteed investment options that would certainly bring profit. The speculation surrounding tokens was what led to the cryptocurrency bubble of 2017. Unfortunately, ICOs eventually became a way for investors to lose money. Too many scam ICOs have cost investors billions within this year alone. Even some ICOs that start up in good faith were unable to deliver their promise. With the new system, there will be no need for network fees or central authorizes. ISOs may be the future of IOTA’s Tangle.
IOTA To Distance Itself From ICOs
IOTA is setting the pace for massive adoption. So, the IOTA community is looking for ways to reduce the price volatility and hype associated with the cryptocurrency community. This makes ISO the logical alternative to ICO. However, developers that intend to build tokens on Tangle, will not find it easy thanks to the measures the IOTA Foundation has put in place.
In the beginning, there wasn’t a lot of regulatory interest in cryptocurrencies. However, as the cryptocurrency market grew, so did the regulatory interest. Many countries have started implementing strict restrictions and bans against cryptocurrencies and ICOs. Even places like Japan, that have been known to be friendly towards the cryptocurrency community, has set strict standards for cryptocurrency startups. Many other countries are looking for ways to protect investors from the new but rapidly growing cryptocurrency industry. This makes things difficult for genuine startups that want to raise funds.
