What Is IOST (IOST)

IOST advertises itself as a "next-generation" proof-of-believability consensus protocol-based "ultra-fast," fully functional, and decentralized blockchain network and ecosystem with its own nodes and unique wallets.

In the hopes that it would one day act as the foundation for online services, IOST's blockchain technology is open-source, secure, and scalable. The group has created a "proof-of-believability" consensus mechanism to guarantee the effectiveness and security of network transactions.

One of the greatest issues that IOST seeks to address is the possibility that large corporations won't be able to adopt blockchain technology in a customer-facing setting unless it is scalable. As a solution to this issue, the Internet of Services Token is proposed.The greatest technique to comprehend IOST is to compare it to its closest rivals: Ethereum is the most well-liked smart contract platform for developers. It can also be contrasted with EOS and TRON, two highly popular and scalable smart contract platforms.

IOST claims it can process up to 100,000 transactions per second, compared to Ethereum's 20, Tron's 2,000, and EOS's 4,000. This is the biggest distinction between IOST and its rivals. The IOST team has developed a novel blockchain architecture that introduces and combines a number of innovations, including a Distributed Randomness Protocol, Efficient Distributed Sharding, TransEpoch, Atomix, Proof-of-Believability, and Micro State Blocks, in order to achieve these transaction speeds.
