About IOST

IOST (Internet of Services Token) is a high-performance blockchain designed for internet-scale decentralized applications with a focus on transaction throughput and low fees. IOST introduces Proof of Believability (PoB), a novel consensus mechanism that combines token stake with contribution history (Servi score) to select validators. Unlike pure PoS where only the wealthiest nodes validate, PoB gives smaller stakeholders opportunities to participate based on their historical contributions. The network targets 100,000+ TPS through sharding and efficient consensus. IOST is used for transaction fees, resource allocation (the IOST system uses staking for CPU/memory resources like EOS), and node rewards.
