DePIN Liquidity Hub - Join the Fastest Growing Sector in Crypto

An essential feature of any web-3 project is highly liquid token markets that allow contributors–from billion-dollar VCs to hobbyists– to sell or expand their holdings whenever they wish. DeFi (Decentralized Finance), or web-3 financial applications like exchanges and lending protocols, have historically enjoyed rapid growth in part by building liquidity for their own tokens into their applications. The DePIN sector (short for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) has enjoyed promisin

What are Real World Assets (RWA) and DePIN?

What are Real World Assets (RWA) and DePIN?

What is RWA? The crypto industry loves to assign clever acronyms to things and then slowly wait for these acronyms to take hold, first through the crypto "space" and then in the broader, non-crypto zeitgeist. "RWA" or real world assets is a perfect example of an acronym that's beginning to reach this second level of awareness and perception. In other words, RWA's time has come. And at IoTeX, we believe (as Victor Hugo did) that there's no force on Earth more powerful than an idea whose time has

Crypto's Latest Tokenomic Innovation: the Sharing of Gas Fees with Developers

Introducing SGD (Sharing of Gas Fees with Developers) In the complex world of blockchain tokenomics, it's relatively rare for a "new" idea or mechanism to be presented, gain traction, and be implemented by multiple chains at the same time. The concept we'll discuss here is called SGD (sharing of gas fees with developers) and it's being explored/implemented by protocols like Ethereum, IoTeX, NEAR, Fantom, and Canto. SGD is the concept of sharing a portion of the gas fees generated by smart cont
