C. Ecosystem Development

IOST Partners Label Foundation To Drive The Future of Music NFTs

IOST is excited to announce its strategic partnership with the Label Foundation- one of the earliest pioneers committed to creating a sustainable music IP NFTs ecosystem for the top musicians (Grammy award-winning artists), protected by a distributed ledger.

The emerging world of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) is growing beyond works of art, play-to-earn game items, virtual real estate, and collectibles, including music NFTs. Musicians and music producers are now generating significant revenue by selling digital versions of their art and music. In the case of NFT music IP, it belongs to the realm of rare NFTs stored in blockchain technology. NFT Music IPs typically help block the intermediaries that make up the majority of musicians’ revenue, providing a lucrative opportunity for creators to monetize.

IOST Sets to Launch a Decentralized Algorithmic Stablecoin

Algorithmic stablecoins are seen as truly promising yet still face many challenges in terms of stability and long-term value-add to the users.

IOST aims to solve three core problems:

  • To ensure the authenticity of oracle price feeds,
  • To manage scarcity to ensure price stability and deal with deflationary costs,
  • To design a short-term price arbitrage model to reduce short-term price volatility.

About IOST

High fees and slower transaction times on the Ethereum network have left the door open for new solutions to emerge, and IOST is one such project that has been gaining traction since its mainnet launch in 2019.

Backed by major financial and VC firms such as Sequoia, Matrix, and ZhenFund, IOST is a pioneering decentralized, high-throughput, gas-efficient Proof-of-Believability-powered smart contract platform built to tackle the scalability trilemma once and for all. For this, the concluding ranking from China’s CCID ranked IOST as the best blockchain platform under Basic Technology, better than Ethereum, EOS, and every other smart-contracting platform evaluated by the agency. This is a testament to the quality and ability to roll out a better, innovative product and reflects our genuine desire to be the best in the sphere.

Being one of the public chain leaders in terms of adoption, performance, and utility, IOST remains committed to our mission to unleash the power of blockchain. IOST currently has the ever-expanding 500,000 community members in over 20 countries, over 400 nodes, a top staking economy, and symbiotic relationships with corporations dotted worldwide.
