IOST is committed to creating an exceptional open source public chain infrastructure capable of high throughput and decentralization. Over the past year, IOST has consistently been at the forefront of GitHub code updates, providing regular technical progress reports to our community and achieving each milestone on the product roadmap on time or ahead of schedule. The IOST team is firmly committed to fulfilling the promises made to our community. We are working closely with IOST’s global community of developers to constantly test, evaluate and improve upon various aspects of the IOST platform including network performance, decentralization, security, developer-friendliness and user-friendliness.

IOST Mainnet Olympus v1.0 has successfully launched at 12 PM Singapore time today, 6 months ahead of schedule.

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.

Beyond technical development, IOST is fulfilling a multi-faceted and multi-sector global ecosystem strategy, which has taken shape after months of tireless planning and relentless execution. The launch of Olympus v1.0 is not only a milestone - it marks the beginning and opens a whole new chapter for the IOST ecosystem to write the future.

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.
