ICAC X IOST | The Third Quarterly Contribution Sharing Conference of IOST Community’s Global Partners
The IOST core governance community-ICAC, founded by Node Pacific (IOST Pacific), held its 18th meeting at 21:30 Beijing time on 31st,October. IOST foundation released the result of partner contribution reward of the third quarter of 2019 a week ago. ICAC collected community’s oppinions, and invited IOST foundation and contribution reward partners represents to hold this global partners’ meeting, for sharing partner’s contribution at this quarter and discussing how to enrich IOST eco-system.
Topic: The Third Quarterly Contribution Sharing Conference of IOST Community’s Global Partners
Overview: ICAC invited representatives of IOST foundation and Q2 1st and 2nd grade reward nodes to summarize and share their contributions and rewards to partners in the second quarter.

1. Sharing of IOST foundation
IOST node ecosystem experienced great growth in Q3:
- 75 new node applicants joining IOST node ecosystem, together with our more than 300 old candidates.
- Attracted a further 9 hundred million staking votes, bringing the total figure to 4.2 billion at the end of Q3.
- We welcomed several major blockchain media, DApp teams and businesses to join IOST as partner nodes this quarter.
- The nodes are also the major driving force in the ecosystem development. In Q3, they played a major role in community building, DApp development, IOST promotion, and mainnet advancement.
We are glad to see that the blockchain technology is once again recognized by the Chinese government and organizations all around the world, and IOST believes that we shoulder this great responsibility to contribute to this global revolution.
In Q4 and beyond, IOST is gonna focus more energy and efforts on technology:
- IOST is actively exploring the new possibilities in cryptography.
- IOST is working on integrating Ripemd160 hash function, which will enable the atomic cross-chain swaps between IOST and BTC, ETH, BCH and LTC. It will promote the integration of IOST ecosystem with a broader blockchain community, bringing more values to us.
- The Blake2B hash function and Schnorr signature is also being tested.
- Blake2B is the foundation of on-chain zero-knowledge proof while Schnorr signature supports multi-signatures and can bring great convenience to our Layer 2 solution. Both of these two can improve performance, security and verification speed of IOST blockchain.
IOST would like to invite all our nodes to join us in building the next generation blockchain with better security, decentralization and high scalability!

3.Free disccusion
Q1: Can you tell us the details of the score rating of node partners?
A1: There is always a process for us to decide the rewards distribution. We need to collect the information from your sides to make the plan about how to distribute the rewards to each node partner. Also, we need to consider the negative effect of releasing the rewards because there might be a downfall of the price after the distribution of rewards. We are trying to minimize the effect. That is why we are kind of delayed about the distribution rewards.
Q2: Is there any new information about the application landing?
A2: We had kept releasing new applications during the previous quarter. The application landing can be divided into two directions. One direction can be seen as B2C market. First, we will focus on decentralization of the application, especially the blocklization of traditional application such as games. We are improving the user experience and we are increasing the quality of the decentralized application. We have launched a new development tool and new blocklization solution to these chains. There is a process. We will keep releasing new user cases and new decentralized applications. Not only in the field of games, but also in other domains such as finance later during this quarter.
When it comes to B2B direction, we are also working on it. I hope most of you have noticed that our cofounder Terry has been interviewed by the most famous tv program in China, namely the CCTV.
We are quite lucky that we have been noticed by the government. We see it as an opportunity to promote the cooperation between the government. Most of the previous projects are mostly on prove of concept level. Thess projects are implemented in a quite small scale. Later, we will focus on some specific directions like asset decentralization, supplychain and the data. We are trying to seek for new business partners and we are also going to establish blockchain acedemy. We are looking for government institutions which can help us to establish acedemy. Once we have established the acedemy, we will keep forwarding and releasing our own professional opinions and our academic results on blockchain development.
Q3: (IOST-Q.E.D) We’ve submitted the solution for “seamless bridge between blockchain platforms” to Singapore’s IMDA. Could I know when the evaluation stage ends?
A3: We are waiting for IMDA and KPMG to get back on the overall evaluations as they are also evaluators. Currently, we are waiting on the consolidated results from them.
Q4: Congratulations to IOST for being interviewed by CCTV. With the support from Chinese government, will IOST arrange more promotion activities in the future?
A4: There have been a lot of good news of IOST project lately. For example, we were quite lucky to be noticed and interviewed by CCTV. The recent market reaction is also good. We do have further market promotion in the future.
The future marketing campaigns will be divided into two directions. The blockchain is still at a very early stage. First, we will continue to do market education. We will not only cooperate with the blockchain media, but also cooperate with traditional media to popularize blockchain technology, IOST project technology and value, etc..
At the same time, IOST has been paying attention to the business application and customer application. We will promote IOST through business development and sales marketing. We have had one-on-one discussions with companies in order to find out their business pain points and give solutions using the blockchain technology. We have different marketing strategies for business.
