What Is IoTeX? The DePIN for Everyone

IoTeX is DePIN’s only modular infrastructure platform connecting smart devices and real-world data to blockchains. IoTeX’s data aggregator solution DePINscan provides real-time data on token market caps, transactions, devices connected, and the latest news in the $27.1 billion DePIN ecosystem. As the leading provider of DePIN infrastructure, IoTeX facilitates new rewards from devices and on/off-chain activity for users, turns personal devices into communal economies, and tokenizes the “data of everything.” Backed by a global team of 60+ research scientists and engineers, IoTeX also combines its EVM-compatible L1 blockchain, off-chain compute middleware, and open hardware to connect billions of smart devices, machines and sensors, and dApps across the physical and digital world. The IoTeX token is listed on major crypto exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, and Crypto.com.

Key Benefits of IoTeX:

Modular: The IoTeX platform offers modular blocks and infrastructure for developers to build blockchains, dApps, and all use cases related to DePIN.

Scalable: IoTeX employs sharding technology to divide the network into smaller, more manageable subchains. This allows for faster transaction processing and increased scalability, handling a larger number of devices and transactions.

Secure: The platform utilizes secure hardware enclaves to protect sensitive data and cryptographic keys. This ensures that devices and user data remain secure.  IoTeX's consensus mechanism is designed to be resilient to malicious attacks, ensuring the integrity of the network.

Interoperable: IoTeX supports cross-chain communication, enabling seamless interaction with other blockchains and expanding its ecosystem.

User-Friendly: IoTeX provides tools and APIs that make it easy for developers to integrate IoT devices into the blockchain, reducing the technical barriers to entry.
