Starting 10 March, 2019 IOST will be the fourth usable public chain platform besides Ethereum, EOS and Tron. By virtue of our PoB mechanism, IOST is now the most scalable and decentralized public blockchain available for users and developers, and is able to support millions of users on the network.

In 2019, with support from IOST’s global community members and hundreds of Node Partners, IOST aims to on-board a user base of over 100 million, lead the industry in developing top-tier blockchain applications, and unleash the potential of blockchain technology for the mass public around the world.

With the successful launch of IOST Mainnet — Olympus v1.0, the IOST development team has completed all major milestones for the technical roadmap including Consensus, Virtual Machine, Explorer, Interface together with Documentation.

Since the official launch of IOST Mainnet, Olympus v1.0, on February 25th, the IOST network has been running smoothly, supported by close to 200 Node Partner candidates across the world. Block height has reached 3050226 as of March 1st, 2019, 17:20.

The article covers SIX gaming Dapps that are launching together with the IOST mainnet: IOST JOY, Liar Game, Realm X, Cell Evolution, Endless Game and CryptoNinja.

Endless Game has announced that their platform has officially launched on the IOST mainnet. This is a major step for Endless game, for they’re now part of a greater blockchain ecosystem that seeks to bring blockchain technology to users worldwide.

Because the IOST blockchain is still in very early stages, Endless Game will take their migration process with caution. Specifically, the IOST mainnet, Olympus v1.0, launched on February 25, 2019 and is still missing the infrastructure of other well-established blockchains.

Effectively, the Endless Game team will first ensure that all the precautions are taken prior to migrating their content to the IOST blockchain network. The team said that they’d first migrate Endless Dice to the IOST network, which will be followed by other Endless games. The Dice game should be playable on the IOST network around mid-March.

Following their migration to the IOST network, Endless Game will also replace their Endless Token (ET) with iET, which is the IOST version of the ET. The team also said that releasing, distribution, dividend earnings and other details regarding the iETs will be published in March.

Endless Game will ensure that ET token-holders receive rewards for supporting their project. Specifically, all ET holders will not only receive a pertaining amount of iETs but will also earn a share of revenue from the IOST blockchain.

Project Hive is an IOST-run project that aims to help developers and users interact with the IOST blockchain network. Since Endless Game is one of the first DApps to develop games on IOST, they will also actively participate in the project and help IOST reduce the entry barrier for current and future IOST users and DApp developers.
