This is the official release for IoTeX blockchain mainnet alpha. In this release, we baked the blockchain which is consisted of the following components:

  • Networking layer enables the peer-to-peer communication between IoTex nodes

  • Blockchain APIs (through GRPC) allows applications and users to interact with blockchain.

  • Ioctl allows users to interact with blockchain in console.

  • Consensus runs Roll-DPoS algorithm to select the active consensus delegates among a pool of delegates (who are elected via staking and voting on Ethereum).

  • Account protocol processes native IOTX token transfer.

  • Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) with smart contracts written in Solidity enables developers to seamlessly port existing DApps here.
