Digital twins are an emerging solution to better integrate physical and virtual worlds. In essence, they are software representative of physical things (that cannot be virtualized), mirroring the caracteristics and status of their physical counterparts. IOTA is an emerging cryptoasset for IoT. Therefore, how IOTA can be applied to digital twins is an important question while monetizing IoT towars a things economy.
Dear Antonio Marcos Alberti,
the idea of IOTA is particularly suitable for use in Industrial IoT (IoT) - especially when several Digital Twins (DTs) are networked with one another and form a DT Federation (DTF).
In order to achieve the earth's Climate-neutral Ecosystem, a globally distributed DTF is necessary. All Management Functions that influence the Ecosystem in any way and are perceived by numerous DTs must be "integrated" into a DTF. In this context I would like to refer to the EU initiative "Destination Earth (DestinE)":

For the use of IOTA, some ideas can be adopted from the use of Blockchain.
My literature sources give some information on the importance of the idea of IOTA in using DTs in industrial areas.
Best regards

Yes. The .IOTA has the advantage that it does not require any fees or even the use of cryptocurrency to store data decentralized and thus provides the optimal setting for digital twins to be safe against manipulation. ... He goes on to laud the immutability characteristics of IOTA.
