What a year! 2022 was one of the most productive times in IoTeX's five-year history with monumental product releases, new world-class investors, game-changing partnerships, and rapid expansion of our global ecosystem. With widespread recognition that the "Real World ⇔ Digital World" sector is the next big thing, IoTeX is now at the forefront of a renaissance for Web3 and leading the charge to empower the decentralized machine economy for years to come. 2022 will be remembered as a bittersweet p

A Trusted Execution Environment is one of those fundamental topics that doesn’t get enough attention in discussions on IoT / connected devices. There are many areas where the integrity of data and the ability to execute programs in a protected environment is of paramount importance. Having highly sensitive information such as passwords, private keys, etc. processed and stored in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) provides the most reliable IoT data. Data that needs the highest level of secur

Over the past few years, Web3 has captured the attention of millions via DeFi, GameFi, NFTs, DAOs, and other use cases. However, we believe the key to mass adoption is connecting the real world to Web3 via the combination of blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT). By using smart devices to prove users' real-world activities, people around the world can earn cryptocurrency by completing tasks in the physical world that improve their lives or benefit society. Unlike the digital-focused indust

IoTeX is thrilled to announce it has become the only Layer 1 blockchain project to join the Eclipse Foundation (EF), one of the world's largest open-source software organizations. Our efforts there, led by Dr. Xinxin Fan, will focus on working with the foundation to develop a distributed open-source operating system for all consumer devices. "The Eclipse Foundation is thrilled to welcome IoTeX and its team of scientists, engineers, and cryptographers, and we are excited to see the Web3 open-sou

We all know now that MachineFi Lab is IoTeX's core developer. Its brilliant scientists, cryptographers, academics, and engineers worked relentlessly for over a year to release W3bstream, the world's first off-chain compute infrastructure. It is an open, decentralized protocol that converts real-world data from devices into verifiable dApp-ready proofs to unlock rewards and income potential for users and businesses. This cleverly designed and uniquely developed technology has what it takes to di

Introduction MachineFi makes it possible to "x-and-earn", meaning that virtually anything is possible. Machine economy is a $12.6T one, and it has the potential to be integrated into every part of everyday life, making it more rewarding, more fun and easier. We have asked you, IoTeX Community, to come up with some innovative and creative ideas for MachineFi-driven dApps, and you have been amazing at delivering unique and potentially world-changing concepts. Together with you, we’re creating a

IoTeX is in its sixth year since inception. In that time, IoTeX built and kept building, and its team grew, and it also reached its most significant milestone: the release of W3bstream, the world's first decentralized infrastructure for real-world devices and data. And this is only the beginning. As you already know, W3bstream is a unique and groundbreaking blockchain-agnostic infra that will disrupt the machine economy. It will disrupt the entire smart device connectivity industry or, if you w

ioPay and FIO’s partnership is bearing fruit. You can now create a user-friendly wallet identity to send and receive crypto payments. Just one identity for all of your crypto. If you’d like, you can stop reading right here and jump into our video tutorial to get set up in an instant. Or hold off on the video and learn why we think you’ll love this! Get set up right from your ioPay wallet. The principles of user focused design, interoperability, open standards, and decentralization continue to

Our developer community has been great. The updated IoTex Developer Portal, after a few months of beta testing, has launched its 1.0 release. This release is the result of gathering and incorporating the creative ideas of our developer community into our vision of a space designed to serve the needs of our developers. A Place to Learn and Build MachineFi dApps You probably know this. A good community of Developers is where people learn, share, teach each other, network, and ultimately thrive.

IoTeX uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism called Roll DPos. That means delegates are the lifeblood of the IoTeX blockchain and are essential for the functioning of the platform. Fortunately, getting set up as an IoTeX Delegate and running a node are now easier than ever. We’ve updated the portal to take you, step-by-step, through the process of becoming an IoTeX Delegate and now it’s also much easier to navigate within the portal. And if you use Fastblocks, you’ll have the option to buy,

As most people in the blockchain community are aware, Ethereum will be moving from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake. This transition, being called the Merge, is scheduled to take place roughly on Thursday, Sept. 15 at 04:25 2022 UTC. IoTeX fully supports the Merge and in a TechTimes article last month announced that post-merge, developers will be able to build MachineFi-focused dApps using W3bstream on both the IoTeX and Ethereum networks. Here, you will find answers to any questions about IoTe

As IoTeX continues to expand at a rapid pace, we are excited to introduce a new governance framework to ensure the network grows sustainably, transparently, and fairly. Ensuring the voice of the people is heard is paramount for any decentralized network -- our goal is to bring together users, developers, Delegates, and more to participate in decentralized decision-making and iterate upon the rules and operating procedures that will power the IoTeX Network for years to come. In this blog we intr
