Additional Information about IOST (IOST)

What is IOST (IOST)?

IOST is a blockchain platform focused on tokenization, Web3 payments, and decentralized applications. The project started with its own Layer 1 blockchain and later expanded its infrastructure with IOST 3.0, a Layer 2 network on BNB Chain.

IOST 3.0 focuses mainly on real-world assets, or RWAs, and payments. With this infrastructure, for example, bonds, real estate, and other assets can be issued and traded as tokens on the blockchain.

For payments, IOST develops, among other things, PayFi and PayPIN. PayFi is intended to connect traditional payments and blockchain technology, while PayPIN combines blockchain payments with special hardware and digital identity.

IOST therefore mainly focuses on companies, financial institutions, developers, and payment providers that want to use tokenized assets and blockchain payments. At the same time, the original IOST Layer 1 remains available for existing dApps and other applications in crypto.

How does IOST (IOST) work?

IOST now consists of the original Layer 1 and the newer IOST 3.0 Layer 2. The two networks have different technical architectures.

The original IOST Layer 1 uses Proof of Believability for consensus. This system selects nodes that process transactions and secure the network. The original design also uses techniques such as sharding, Atomix, and Micro State Blocks to process transactions and data more efficiently. Smart contracts can be developed on this chain in JavaScript, among other languages, via the V8-based IOST Virtual Machine.

IOST 3.0 is structured differently. This is a Layer 2 network on top of BNB Chain and was developed, among other things, for payments, real-world assets, and digital identity. Transactions can first be processed on the Layer 2 and then aggregated in batches.

The Layer 2 uses an optimistic rollup model. State roots of transaction batches are sent to BNB Chain. There is also a challenge period during which invalid state transitions can be challenged with fraud proofs. As a result, IOST 3.0 uses BNB Chain as the settlement layer.

Within the Layer 2, sequencers process transactions and various validators and data availability mechanisms are used to verify the network's operation. IOST also has separate modules for applications such as RWA tokenization, payments, and digital identity.

The IOST token is used within the broader ecosystem for, among other things, staking, incentives, and governance. IOST 3.0 has introduced a new tokenomics model for this, with rewards for network participants and various mechanisms through which tokens can be burned.

The new tokenomics include, among other things, burns from the ecosystem, income from nodes, and decisions from the DAO. At the same time, new IOST tokens are distributed over several years for, among other things, node rewards, airdrops, staking programs, developers, and the further growth of the ecosystem.

Who are the founders of IOST?

IOST was founded in 2017 by Jimmy Zhong, Terrence Wang, Justin Li, Ray Xiao, Sa Wang and Kevin Tan.

Jimmy Zhong was co-founder and CEO and played an important role in the development and growth of the project. Terrence, also known as Terry, Wang was co-founder and CTO and focused mainly on the technical development of the blockchain.

Justin Li and Ray Xiao were also part of the original founding team. Li was involved, among other things, in investments and strategy, while Xiao focused on the operational side of the project. Sa Wang and Kevin Tan are also mentioned as co-founders of IOST.

The project was set up at the end of 2017 and the IOST token was introduced at the beginning of 2018. The original blockchain was developed as a scalable platform for dApps. Later, the strategy shifted further toward real-world assets and payments, which in 2025 led to the introduction of IOST 3.0 as a Layer 2 on BNB Chain.
