IOST项目是什么 ？

IOST是一个由红杉、经纬、真格等全球一线美元投资机构支持的，为在线服务提供商而开发的区块链应用平台。

主网上线后仅一个月，IOST已正式成为Ethereum、EOS、Tron之外全球TOP 4的DApp公链平台。IOST主网日交易数也连续多日超过以太坊，位列全球第三。

IOST通过PoB共识机制和第二层扩展方案的设计来实现横向扩容和高吞吐量的目标；通过开发社区自有网络的有效方式为第三方开发人员、创作者和企业提供实现价值的平台。IOST比基于DPoS机制的EOS更去中心化，比ETH智能合约平台更具可扩展性。

IOST将和开发者、社区携手同行，共同打造全球第一个扩容基础上去中心化的区块链项目，一起搭建全世界最大的去中心化体系。

IOST is a blockchain application platform developed for online service providers, supported by Sequoia, Matrix, ZhenFund and other world-class investors. Only a month after the mainnet launch, IOST has officially become the fourth largest DApp public chain platform in the world besides Ethereum, EOS and Tron. Recently, IOST’s daily transaction volume has surpassed ETH, ranking third in the world.

IOST will achieve scalability and high TPS through POB consensus algorithm and the design of the second-layer scaling scheme. Through developing an effective community-owned network, it provides a platform for third-party developers, creators and enterprises to realize greater value. IOST can improve transaction performance without sacrificing decentralization, i.e. protecting privacy, public participation and protecting communities from malicious attacks. IOST is more decentralized than EOS which is based on DPoS mechanism and more scalable than ETH smart contract platform.
