About
IOST (IOST)
IOST (Internet of Services Token) is an enterprise-grade blockchain platform designed to provide a highly scalable, secure, and decentralized network for the development of dApps. It directly addresses the blockchain trilemma by aiming for high throughput without sacrificing security or decentralization. The project stands out as a robust Web3 infrastructure, offering a developer-friendly environment capable of supporting service-oriented ecosystems. Its architecture is built to handle the high transaction volumes required by large-scale commercial applications, positioning it as a significant digital asset for enterprise solutions.
The core of IOST's innovation is its unique consensus mechanism, Proof-of-Believability (PoB). This algorithm operates alongside other proprietary technologies like Efficient Distributed Sharding (EDS) and Micro State Blocks (MSB) to achieve impressive transactions per second (TPS). PoB selects validators based on a believability score, which considers factors like token balance and reputation, ensuring network efficiency and cryptographic security. The native IOST utility token is essential for the ecosystem, used for paying gas fees, staking to contribute to the consensus mechanism, and participating in on-chain governance. This integrated tokenomics model incentivizes network participation and secures the distributed ledger.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the most efficient way to buy IOST with Japanese Yen (JPY)?
The most direct method is using a regulated Japanese cryptocurrency exchange that offers a JPY/IOST trading pair. This involves completing KYC/AML compliance, funding your account via a Japanese Yen bank transfer, and then executing a purchase order on the platform's order book. This provides a secure fiat on-ramp directly into the IOST ecosystem. -
What is IOST's Proof-of-Believability and why is it significant for JPY traders?
Proof-of-Believability (PoB) is IOST's unique consensus mechanism that aims for high scalability and decentralization. Unlike PoW or standard PoS, PoB uses a reputation-based system with Servi nodes to achieve ultra-high TPS (Transactions Per Second). For JPY traders, this translates to a network designed for enterprise-level dApps, offering potentially faster and cheaper on-chain transactions compared to other platforms, which is a key technical consideration for the asset's utility. -
What are the key security steps when moving IOST purchased with JPY to a private wallet?
First, ensure you use a digital wallet that specifically supports the IOST mainnet, not an ERC-20 version. When withdrawing from a regulated Japanese exchange, double-check the destination wallet address for accuracy. Always enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your exchange account. For significant amounts, consider a hardware wallet for cold storage. Securely back up your wallet's private keys or seed phrase and never share them. -
How does IOST's gas-free model impact transactions originating from a JPY purchase?
Once you acquire IOST with JPY and move it to a mainnet wallet, the gas-free model becomes a significant advantage. Unlike Ethereum where you pay gas fees for every action, IOST uses a resource staking model (iGAS and iRAM). By staking IOST, users get the resources needed for transactions, making interactions with dApps on the IOST blockchain effectively free for active participants. This promotes higher usability within its dApp ecosystem. -
Are there regulations in Japan, such as from the Financial Services Agency (FSA), that affect JPY/IOST trading?
Yes, absolutely. Cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Japan must be licensed by the Financial Services Agency (FSA). This means any platform offering a JPY/IOST trading pair must adhere to strict KYC/AML compliance, security standards, and asset protection rules. For traders, this provides a higher level of security and regulatory oversight compared to using unregulated offshore exchanges for their digital asset purchases. Always verify an exchange's FSA registration.
