As the crucial underlying infrastructure of a public chain ecosystem, the mainnet’s performance determines its development. Since the mainnet launch back in 2019, the IOST development team has maintained an innovative attitude and has updated and optimized its versions frequently.

Today, the number of accounts registered on the IOST mainnet has surpassed the 600,000 mark, reaching a record high of 608,046 as of the time of writing! Besides the number of accounts, IOST has also reached important 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 600 million mark, reaching a record high of 616,214,175, and is still growing.

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 features high scalability and concurrency, allowing thousands of transactions to be carried out simultaneously, with a peak TPS of 8000 transactions. This provides a solid technical foundation for IOST and its partners to expand business cooperations.

Block height

As of the time of writing, the block height of the IOST mainnet has surpassed the 160 million mark, reaching a record high of 168,993,885, and is still growing.

Here, we would like to note that the block height of IOST has surpassed, by far, the block height of other similar public chains in the same period of time after the respective mainnets were launched. The block height has a certain correlation with the processing speed of the network. If we observe one certain period of time, the blockchain with the higher block height and the more transactions contained per block is faster in terms of transaction processing speed.

Block height refers to a specific location in a blockchain, measured by how many confirmed blocks precede it. The current block height of a blockchain is an indication of its current size or time in existence.

Number of Accounts

As of the time of writing, the number of accounts on the IOST mainnet has surpassed the 600,000 mark, reaching a record high of 608,046, and is still growing. This means that more and more users are using the IOST mainnet.

Number of Contracts

As of the time of writing, the number of contracts on the IOST mainnet is 1,203, which is 10 times more than a year ago! This means that more developers have joined IOST and are developing DApps based on IOST technology.

About IOST

IOST is committed to building a developer-friendly public chain platform. In the future, IOST will continue to innovate and continue to upgrade and optimize the mainnet, bringing more powerful underlying infrastructure support and a good development experience to all mainnet ecosystem users.

From here, we would like to express our gratitude to the IOST development team and developers from all over the world for their unremitted efforts and also welcome developers to join our developer community.
