IoTeX Project Updates №21 — December 18, 2019 — January 30, 2020
Greetings everyone! We are back with the Project Update Report №21 for 12/18–01/30. It’s been a busy month here at IoTeX, here’s the rundown: we introduced our first secure hardware device, Ucam, at CES 2020 in Las Vegas while sharing several blogs delving deeper into the product as well as our journey building it, and we implemented staking with native IOTX. Please see this blog for a comprehensive staking overview.
Tech & Development
In 2020, IoTeX will achieve full independence by launching Mainnet GA and holistically migrating from IOTX-E (ERC20) to Native IOTX. As Binance, Kucoin, and other exchanges are officially swapping IOTX-E to IOTX, we are excited to introduce staking/voting using Native IOTX!
Staking Native IOTX can be completed via ioPay, the official IoTeX wallet now available for both Desktop and Mobile (iOS, Android).
For official token swap guidance, see this blog. For questions on native staking, please contact an admin in the official IoTeX Telegram Group and see this blog:
