IOST- Exploring & Leading the Blossoming DeFi Space in H2 2020

Emerging as a central theme in 2019, DeFi took the crypto world by storm and quickly emerge as one of the most promising areas of growth in the online financial sector. IOST is joining the DeFi frenzy and seeks to explore the blossoming DeFi space in H2 2020, aiming to complete and land at least three financial applications by September 2020 according to the latest roadmap.

IOST is its own fully-development blockchain ecosystem with its own over 400 global nodes, multiple wallets, and unique consensus protocol. Speed is the name of the game for IOST, a blockchain dedicated to being “ultra-fast” with a peak value for TPS of 8000 through a combination of unique technologies such as Proof of Believability (POB).

Based on its original PoB consensus mechanism and the layer2 expansion scheme, IOST obtains horizontal expansion and high throughput, providing value creation for third-party developers, content creators, and enterprises. IOST is more decentralized than the DPoS based EOS and more scalable than Ethereum smart contracts platform.

In addition, IOST offers developer-friendly features that improve product development efficiency. No congestion and no high gas fees as seen in Ethereum, the reason many developers choose to launch DeFi projects on IOST. A zero transaction fee also guarantees users the convenience and accessibility of using DeFi applications on the IOST chain.

With the IOST platform, its developers can create and offer a transparent and permissionless system built on the open-source principle.

In 2020, IOST will cultivate the growth of its robust DeFi ecosystem through deepening cooperation with existing DeFi projects and implementing all-round optimizations and transformations.

Riding the DeFi wave with great momentum, IOST has been striking multiple DeFi partnerships including Constant Co., PowerDefi, ProDeFi, Bidao, and the latest PROXI.

IOST will provide comprehensive incubation services for DeFi projects from various aspects such as technical support, operation support, and financial support, and to jointly create explosive DeFi products. The IOST cross-chain transfer bridge will be applied to link DeFi projects and users from other public chains such as Ethereum, and introduce more high-quality DeFi projects for more explosive users' growth.

IOST shall continue to work closely with its global partner nodes to deliver innovation and values to DeFi, create explosive DeFi products, lead the mainstream application of DeFi, and open up a new phase for a decentralized global economy.
