On October 23, the digital certificate service 'A trust' based on #IOST mainnet was officially held at the Tokyo Web3 Center—Shibuya Centrum. The event gathered numerous Web3 enthusiasts and professionals, creating a lively atmosphere.
‘A trust’ is not a new face; it was developed by a large Japanese enterprise in 2019, initially running a clone version based on IOST in a private environment. After years of accumulation, the project was taken over in October 2024 by Cabinet Company (CEO: Mr. Ishida) and successfully migrated to the IOST mainnet. Currently, it has issued over 37,000 digital certificates for multiple clients, including large Japanese enterprises, and its influence in the digital certificate field is increasing.
During the event, AIYAA, a developer community member that has been operating IOST nodes since 2019, provided a detailed introduction to the advantages of IOST blockchain's consensus algorithm and transaction fee structure (Gas fees). AIYAA's explanation was insightful and helped the audience gain a deeper understanding of the IOST ecosystem.
Subsequently, Ms. Tanikawa from OKJ (formerly OKCoinJapan) shared the explosive growth of OKJ accounts since the introduction of IOST tokens in 2021. OKJ is a Japanese FSA-licensed exchange and the largest network node in the IOST ecosystem, providing liquidity for about 70% of domestic competitors.
Finally, Mr. Ishida from Cabinet Company, the operator of A trust, expressed his vision for the future development of A trust. He stated that he hopes A trust can add value to digital content and gain broader applications in the digital and high-end markets, providing users with safer, more efficient, and convenient digital certificate services.
Currently, a Japanese company is migrating the A trust service, which uses the IOST algorithm, from a private environment to the mainnet, indicating that IOST is a competitive Web3 blockchain operating system for enterprises. As the IOST ecosystem continues to develop, A trust is expected to play a greater role in the future, providing users with safer, more efficient, and convenient digital certificate services, and promoting the development of the digital economy and digital society.
IOST Introduction
IOST - Web3.0 blockchain operating system.
IOST was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Singapore. It is an enterprise-level blockchain application platform developed for online service providers, supported by top global dollar investment institutions such as Sequoia, Matrix Partners, and ZhenFund.
IOST2.0 has extremely high throughput and availability, making it a true Web3.0 blockchain operating system.
IOST2.0 - The Merge IOST adopts a Beacon Chain + Smart Chain architecture plan that is EVM compatible, with standard Engine API used for communication between the two.
IOST2.0 is continuously evolving and upgrading multiple sub-chains, including general-purpose EVM smart contract chains, as well as specialized sub-chains, such as NFT chains, gaming chains, AI Native chains, and more.
Goal
Achieve horizontal scalability and high throughput through the design of the POB consensus mechanism and second-layer expansion solutions. Providing a platform for third-party developers, creators, and enterprises to realize value through effective means of developing their own networks.
Principles
Improve transaction performance without sacrificing key attributes of decentralization, namely: protecting privacy, public participation, and shielding the community from malicious attacks. IOST is more decentralized than EOS based on the DPOS mechanism and more scalable than ETH smart contract platforms.
IOST, witnessing the future of blockchain technology.
