With the goal of expanding the global multi-cloud ecosystem, IOST has strategically aligned with Tencent Cloud, resulting in the formal debut of two pivotal blockchain services: the NFT service and the Blockchain traceability service.

NFT Service

Catering to the corporate realm, NFT service manifests as a comprehensive digital brand enabler, facilitating NFT issuance, digitization of brand IP, and strategic positioning within the Web3.0 NFT landscape.

Description

The diverse spectrum of creative works — spanning videos, music, paintings, and other artistic expressions — are endowed with decentralized financial attributes at their nucleus. This dynamic metamorphosis lays the foundation for robust circulation, effectively optimizing conditions to harness latent potential, thereby enabling users to partake in the dividends yielded by art NFTs and embracing the facets of digital literary art.

Notable Features

  • Unveils a one-stop digital branding initiative tailored for enterprises, streamlining exclusive NFT issuance, fostering the metamorphosis of brand IP into digital assets, and engendering agile forays into the Web3.0 NFT domain. The advent of blockchain redefines the trajectory from conventional to digital art, recalibrating the valuation of art collection and investment viability within the market, thereby unlocking the latent potential within the realm of digital art.
  • Leveraging professional blockchain technology and NFT trading platforms, the service empowers the encoding of information concerning tangible artworks onto the blockchain, subsequently generating congruent NFT renditions. The cryptographic contours therein validate the artworks’ authenticity, thereby ensuring inviolable digital copyrights.
  • Orchestrating the ascendance of high-tier NFTs, a renaissance is heralded in the sphere of art collection value and the investment potency of market circulation.

Blockchain Traceability Service

The cornerstone of IOST’s traceability initiative — preventing counterfeiting and enabling traceability across the full product lifecycle — is actualized through the Blockchain traceability service.

Description

Pioneering a holistic approach, users are empowered to transmit information about commodities from their inception, traversing customs inspections, logistical engagements, warehousing logistics, distributorship, and ultimately culminating in their availability at retail outlets, onto the blockchain traceability system. This information, verified and corroborated by stakeholders including upstream suppliers, warehousing logistics partners, downstream distributors, and retailers, coalesces into a transparent and credible transactional dossier, fostering multidimensional trust and shared transactional insight.

The IOST traceability system converges disparate functionalities, encompassing information input, device management, regulatory submissions

Notable Features

Through an unswerving embrace of blockchain’s immutable and decentralized architecture, IOST bequeaths a holistic traceability apparatus. This holistic approach ensures data integrity by encoding information that undergoes validation by a multitude of stakeholders. This irrefutable chronicle of information safeguards data authenticity, consequently elevating the caliber of enterprise information management while mitigating the risks associated with data manipulation. The service serves as a bulwark against unscrupulous vendors exploiting vulnerabilities within the production and sales lifecycle to perpetuate the circulation of spurious and substandard goods.
