What is IOST (IOST)?
IOST is a blockchain platform that was created to address the scalability issues that plague many existing blockchain networks. It stands for the Internet of Services Token and was launched in 2018. IOST has its own nodes, wallets, and consensus protocol, making it a comprehensive ecosystem. Its goal is to be the leading infrastructure for industrial-scale transactions by giants like Amazon, Facebook, and Google.
IOST is known for its ultra-fast transaction speeds, capable of handling up to 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), which outpaces competitors like Ethereum and EOS. This is achieved through the integration of unique technologies such as the Proof of Believability (PoB) consensus mechanism and Efficient Distributed Sharding (EDS). The platform also fosters growth and innovation, with a $50 million incubator and accelerator called Bluehill designed to nurture critical infrastructure and projects.
How IOST (IOST) Works
IOST's revolutionary Proof-of-Believability (PoB) consensus mechanism is at the heart of its functionality. This innovative protocol divides blockchain validators into two groups: the "believable" league and the "normal" league. This division facilitates a more decentralized and efficient block production process. The PoB consensus algorithm is designed to ensure high transaction speeds while maintaining compliance among nodes. It operates by assigning believability scores to participants, with block production being performed by a rotating committee of 17 nodes, changing every 10 minutes to enhance throughput.
IOST also employs Efficient Distributed Sharding (EDS), a method that segments the blockchain into multiple sub-chains while retaining the main chain's throughput capabilities. This sharding technique, combined with protocols like Atomix and Micro State Block (MSB), ensures cross-shard transaction authenticity and minimizes storage fees on the blockchain. Consequently, more participants are invited to join the consensus.
IOST also offers smart contract capabilities, allowing developers to create decentralized applications (DApps) using languages like Solidity and JavaScript. The platform offers a range of Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) technologies, including authorization management, multi-cloud support, and cross-chain compatibility, fostering a conducive environment for innovation and privacy.
How Many IOST (IOST) Tokens Are in Circulation?
IOST's total supply and circulating supply both amount to 18,708,894,189.
