On February 25, 2019, the main network of IOST, Olympus v1.0 was officially launched. In just one month after the launch, IOST had exceeded 16 million transactions on the network and is now officially ranked 4th globally, just behind Ethereum, EOS and Tron, in terms of total network transactions.

By virtue of our Proof-of-Believability consensus mechanism, IOST is also the first scalable AND decentralized public blockchain solution.

Following intensive preparations by the game development team, IOST JOY Snake is now officially launched on IOST!

About IOST Joy Snake

The gameplay for IOST Joy Snake is very simple. The player controls the direction of the snake via the movement pad on the left side of the screen. Movement can be accelerated by clicking the Rocket button on the right side of the screen. Holding this button will maintain the snake’s acceleration.

Similar to the traditional Snake game, the snake grows in length by eating the coloured beans on the screen, while avoiding any collisions with other snakes. The interesting part — when the snakes eat the coloured beans, players stand a chance to earn IOST and JOY tokens!

Green beans represent IOST, and red beans represent JOY tokens. JOY earned in-game allow players to participate in rewards given out by the game development team.

To claim IOST from the green beans consumed, players need to survive until the end of the game countdown. Otherwise, only JOY can be claimed.
