IOSTABC——IOST’s blockchain portal

Acceptance Speech

Recently, IOST released the first quarter of IOST contribution awards and dividends. And IOSTABC gets the title of Tier 1 node in the integrated category.

IOSTABC team is headquartered in ShenZhen. Our iostabc.com development team, in fact, very early on, we’ve been paying attention to IOST public chain.Under our evaluation system, we feel IOST is one of the leading public chains. We created iostabc.com with the original intention of creating an absolutely good browser for IOST and we also participated in the election of nodes. In the initial stage of the mainnet launching, our work was actually quite heavy, because the role of each part of the IOST community moved with the browser. And almost every role, wallet, DAPP, node, needs to use the block browser. In my opinion, it is the most correct thing for us to stand up to the pressure and provide good services for various roles in the community when we are online on the mainnet. At the same time, this has been officially recognized, so we are selected as the nodes of Tier 1. I would also like to thank the IOST foundation for its recognition of our work.

Strong technical team to support IOST

The IOSTABC team is a group of geeks with a passion for blockchain. More than two-thirds of the team members are technicians. In addition, there is an efficient product operation team to ensure the combat effectiveness of IOSTABC from all aspects and prepare for long-term IOST community service. We have a strong curiosity about emerging things, and we believe that innovation can greatly optimize the existing mechanism to improve the efficiency of social organization. We love to study and are not afraid of setbacks. The core personnel have in-depth and profound experience in the field of blockchain. We come together because we believe in the future of blockchain. We want to do our part to support the long-term development of IOST ecosystem and help investors and users get more returns.

IOST Ecosystem Layout

Blockchain has been in people’s eyes since the release of the white paper of bitcoin in 2008, and blockchain browser has been accompanied by the continuous development of blockchain since this day. We know that blockchain is public, but it is not easy to read. A good blockchain browser can well visualize the public blockchain data and present it to the vast number of blockchain users.

Based on this, the features that IOSTABC currently provides include:

Block on chain, transaction, account, node, Token, contract query
Create account, vote management, RAM/GAS purchase/pledge, authority management
Revenue calculation, revenue ranking, poll user management
Basic information monitoring on the chain

Future Planning of IOSTABC

IOST mainnet has been online for less than 3 months and during this time we closely follow up the construction and development of main chain ecology. We also know that only 3 months is not enough time to create a completebrowser product, and our future planning is still in full progress.

Here we pick out a few big directions to give you an idea of the plot:

OPEN API

This is a relatively rigid function. We know that many developers are building applications for IOST. IOSTABC stores and organizes a lot of data for you. We will open up our data capabilities to developers as soon as possible to save you the investment in data query and focus on the value of the application itself.

DAPP Explorer

We know that IOST is a public chain with Dapp application as its ecology. We will also provide Dapp browser to our users to achieve the purpose of one-stop service.
