IOTA is a cryptocurrency which is an open-source distributed ledger and designed for internet things. In other words, it stores transactions on its ledger by using directed acyclic graph.
The directed acyclic graphs can be used as a ledger to track transactions without the blocks and chains. IOTA does not use miners to verified transactions, instead of users to issue new transactions.

That was the IOTA foundation. This foundation was a board member of the international Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA).
