As the crucial underlying infrastructure of a public chain ecosystem, the mainnet’s performance determines the development of the whole ecosystem. Since the mainnet launch back on February 25, 2019, the IOST development team has maintained an innovative attitude and has carried out frequent version updates and optimizations.

Today, the block height on the IOST mainnet has surpassed the 200,000,000 (two hundred million) mark, reaching a record high of over 200,841,000 as of the time of writing, which far exceeds the block height of other public chains from the same period! Besides the block height, IOST has also reached significant milestones. Let’s find out together!

Number of transactions

As of the time of writing, the number of transactions on the IOST mainnet has surpassed the 653 million mark, reaching a record high of 653,098,894, and is still growing nonstop.

By virtue of its unique consensus mechanism — PoB, the performance of the IOST mainnet has been outstanding since its inception. While securing decentralization and security, the IOST chain also ensures high scalability and high throughput.

Number of accounts

As of the time of writing, there are 626,831 IOST accounts registered on the network, an increase of nearly 200,000 compared to January 2021.

Number of contracts

As of the time of writing, there are 1283 smart contracts deployed on the IOST chain, ten times more than two years ago, which means that more developers are joining the IOST ecosystem to deploy their dApps!

With the gradual achievement of the Project Entroverse items and goals, IOST aims to improve the crypto cross-chain ecosystem and EVM development environment, implement real interoperability and interactivity with mainstream public chains such as Ethereum, and improve the construction of on-chain Metaverse, NFT, DeFi, GameFi, and other ecosystems. We will work back to back with our communities to build IOST into the world’s largest decentralized community.
