IOTA has released its Q1 2025 report, showcasing significant progress as the ecosystem gears up for the highly anticipated Rebased mainnet launch. The report highlights the network’s momentum and the advancements made to ensure a smooth transition to the upgraded protocol.

Rebased Mainnet Launch Nears Completion

On its official X account, IOTA confirmed that all teams have worked in unison to finalize core infrastructure, drive adoption, and expand the ecosystem. The upcoming Rebased mainnet aims to enhance scalability, programmability, and decentralization while establishing a fully decentralized Layer-1 network with cutting-edge features.

Following a community vote in December 2024, the transition to IOTA Rebased has been in full swing. The IOTA Foundation recently initiated a public testnet, allowing developers and users to assess its functionality before the mainnet release. The Q1 report indicates that the project is entering Q2 with strong momentum, emphasizing the network’s readiness for the launch.

Developer Readiness and Security Audits

The report underscores the progress made in finalizing essential technical components. Audits for the IOTA Smart Contracts (ISC) framework and core tooling are either completed or underway, ensuring a secure and efficient implementation. The ISC team has successfully deployed a compatible version of IOTA EVM on testnets and is undergoing a Sherlock audit to verify security.

Additionally, migration tools have been developed to facilitate a seamless transition from the Stardust-compatible version to IOTA Rebased. Incremental improvements to the existing IOTA EVM are also in progress, ensuring a smooth shift for developers and users alike.

As previously reported, IOTA Rebased will introduce transaction fees to support network sustainability. The protocol is expected to enhance transaction processing, with speeds exceeding 50,000 transactions per second.

IOTA’s Expansion Beyond Rebased

Beyond the Rebased initiative, IOTA made remarkable strides in Q1 2025. The Product Adoption team launched the IOTA Gas Station, a solution designed to eliminate onboarding friction by removing gas fees. Additionally, IOTA Identity was updated for full Move compatibility, further streamlining interactions with decentralized applications (dApps).

On the enterprise front, the Business Development team forged connections within the Move VM ecosystem, engaging with infrastructure providers and developers from networks like Sui, Aptos, and Movement. These collaborations enhance IOTA’s market positioning and foster innovation tied to the Rebased upgrade, grant programs, and hackathons.

Industry insiders also speculate that the coin is developing an on-chain order book Decentralized Exchange (DEX). As previously reported, this DEX could address major challenges faced by Automated Market Makers (AMMs), such as slippage, impermanent loss, and high gas fees.
