About IoTeX
IoTeX is a decentralized blockchain platform that seeks to establish and develop interaction between humans and machines. The IoTeX blockchain was developed from scratch in 2017 and released for public use in 2019. IoTeX is positioned as a decentralized alternative to the centralized intermediaries between humans and devices. Based on the Internet of Things (IoT), IoTeX is managed by a team of expert professionals with executive experience at the likes of Google, Facebook, Uber, and Polychain Capital. On IoTeX network cameras, sensors, and other IoT devices, users are able to connect to decentralized applications (dApps) in order to communicate and exchange different forms of value.
IoTeX is powered by its network cryptocurrency, IOTX, an ERC20-based utility coin. IOTX is used in network staking, under an in-house consensus mechanism known as randomized delegated proof-of-stake (Roll-DPoS). 24 of the top 36 selected validators are chosen every hour to create blocks on the network. IOTX is also used in voting, which yields annual rewards for participating token holders after being staked at 1:1 per submitted vote. IOTX price is updated and available in real-time on Binance.
