IOTA Notarization Toolkit Takes on $440B Industry With Permissionless Proofs

• The launch of the IOTA Notarization is expected to significantly usher the IOTA network into a market projected to be valued at $440 billion by 2030. 
• Notarization on IOTA has been said to reduce cost on the network, improve security, and strengthen integrity. 

IOTA, in a latest blog post, announced the alpha release of its Notarization toolkit and how it could impact the broader ecosystem. In the post, the IOTA Notarization was explained as an open-source modular toolkit designed to record and verify the integrity of data on the network.

According to the report, the latest release supports two notarization methods, namely Locked Notarization and Dynamic Notarization. While the former stores data immutability on-chain for “mission-critical and permanent records like certificates or contracts”, the latter maintains a single and updatable object on-chain.

Reviewing the blog post, CNF found that the Locked Notarization specifically supports operations within the areas of credentials and certifications, ownership and IP protection, as well as legal and regulatory compliance. Meanwhile, the Dynamic Notarization is also tailored for IoT and real-time systems, as well as Public Registry, Digital Twins, Digital Product Passports, and Supply Chains.

Explaining why this matters, the IOTA communication team explained that this groundbreaking initiative set the network up for cost-effective operations. The reason, according to a different post, has to do with how Notarization on IOTA involves a refundable storage deposit for a ledger space occupied.

In situations where the records are no longer needed, the deposits could be reclaimed fully, reducing the cost of long-term storage.

Apart from this, Notarization on IOTA is reported to prevent unauthorized modifications to improve security, enhance the integrity of the network, and create high availability.

The Valuation and the Potential of the Notarization Market

According to a renowned influencer identified as Salima, the Notarization market is valued at $8 billion and has been confirmed by a San Francisco-based global market intelligence firm, Grand View Research. Based on her post, this figure encompasses remote notarization, mobile notary services, and e-signatures.

Speaking on the potential, Salima highlighted that Notarization could also scale to every contract, sensor, ID, or document instantly and permissionlessly. To her, this is exactly what the IOTA Notarization enables. Having considered these possibilities, reputable firms like Markets & Markets, Statista, and Grand View have all projected the market to surpass $440 billion by 2030, according to Salima.

Specifically, the blockchain-based supply chain traceability is expected to reach a valuation of $193 billion, while the Digital Identity sector reaches $133 billion. For Digital Signatures and Identity Verification, it is projected that their valuation could grow to $70 billion and $34 billion, respectively.

This is notarization today: costly, slow, and exclusive. This is what IOTA unlocks: notarization for everything, for everyone, built for a machine-driven, trustless future. While others sell trust… IOTA builds it into the very fabric of data.

IOTA has already made a huge impression with the launch of several interesting features, including the IOTA Identity, which was recently discussed in our blog post. According to its co-founder Dominik Schiener, the ultimate goal is to build a digital world on-chain, as also noted in our earlier post. In May, the much-anticipated IOTA Rebased Protocol was launched on the mainnet, setting the foundation for most of these objectives to be achieved, as mentioned in our previous news brief.

Nevertheless, the price of IOTA struggles to recover as it records declines across all notable trading sessions. In the last 24 hours, the asset has fallen by 0.32% to trade at $0.154. Fascinatingly, analysts believe that the asset could stage a rebound to hit $0.27 in the near term, as highlighted in our last analysis.
