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 does the ZAR/IOST trading pair represent in the digital asset market?
The ZAR/IOST pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp, allowing you to purchase Internet of Services Tokens (IOST) using South African Rand. This enables a direct blockchain transaction from ZAR into IOST's high-TPS ecosystem, which is powered by its unique Proof-of-Believability (PoB) consensus mechanism, bypassing the need to first buy a major cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. -
What are the common methods for executing a ZAR to IOST digital asset purchase?
To buy IOST with ZAR, you typically need to use a South African cryptocurrency exchange that lists the IOST digital asset. The process involves completing FICA compliance (KYC/AML), depositing Rand via an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or local bank transfer, and then placing a buy order on the ZAR/IOST order book. -
Why is trading IOST directly against ZAR advantageous for South African investors?
Trading directly via the ZAR/IOST pair offers several benefits. It mitigates currency conversion risk and avoids the extra fees associated with converting ZAR to USD and then to IOST. This provides a more cost-effective entry point into the IOST network, allowing for quicker access to its ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps) and its gas-free model. -
How does IOST's technology, like its gas-free model, impact my transaction after buying with ZAR?
Once you've acquired IOST, its underlying technology significantly enhances your experience. IOST's architecture, including the Proof-of-Believability system, supports a high-TPS blockchain and a gas-free model for users. This means that when you transfer your IOST from the exchange to a private digital wallet or interact with dApps, you won't encounter the variable network fees common on other smart contract platforms. -
What typical fees are involved when using a fiat gateway to convert ZAR to IOST?
When converting ZAR to IOST, expect several potential fees. These include a deposit fee for your ZAR EFT payment, a trading fee on the cryptocurrency exchange (often a percentage-based maker/taker fee), and a fixed withdrawal fee charged by the exchange to move your IOST tokens to an external non-custodial wallet. The IOST network itself does not charge users gas fees for transactions.
