IOST Monthly Report | September 2025 was originally published in IOST on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

At KBW 2025, IOST highlighted its vision for Real-World Assets and deepened its connections in one of the world’s most vibrant crypto markets.

Fresh off WebX 2025 in Tokyo, the IOST team traveled to Seoul — home to one of our largest and most passionate communities. With over 30% of the Korean population investing in crypto, Korea has become a global hub where projects converge to share ideas, form partnerships, and drive innovation.

At KBW 2025, IOST hosted and co-hosted a series of RWA-focused events, strengthening our presence in one of the most vibrant markets in the world.

KBW Crypto Bazaar 2025 by Xangle x DBN

Crypto Bazaar 2025, co-hosted by DBN and Xangle, was a one-day Web3 event designed for real investors, project leaders, and industry influencers. The event prioritized practical insights over hype, offering direct connections and early access to the next wave of opportunities.

At the IOST booth, our team engaged with local community members as well as global crypto enthusiasts. We showcased the prototype of Signet Ring, the DID-powered IOST ring introduced earlier this summer.

IOST CEO Blake on Stage

IOST CEO Blake took the stage to strong applause, reflecting on IOST’s seven-year track record of resilience in a volatile market. He highlighted how IOST has consistently stayed ahead of industry trends and technology, and reaffirmed our commitment to operate as a compliant project under evolving regulatory frameworks across Asia, including Japan.

Blake also emphasized IOST’s vision to lead as a trusted RWA infrastructure provider, paving the way for more real-world adoption of blockchain.

IOST x Ondo: RWA Night

Together with Ondo Finance, a leader in tokenized stocks and ETFs, IOST co-hosted RWA Night at KBW 2025.

The event attracted more than 600 registrations and brought together the global crypto community to spotlight the growing momentum around Real-World Assets (RWA). The discussion explored how the flexibility of decentralized finance can merge with the stability of traditional financial assets.

IOST in the Heart of the Korean Community

In his home market of Korea, Blake was surrounded by media, industry leaders, and long-time community supporters. The warm reception underscored the strength of IOST’s Korean community and reaffirmed our position as a leading RWA infrastructure provider.

At KBW 2025, IOST not only showcased its RWA innovation but also forged new partnerships that will expand our ecosystem and deepen our market influence.

Looking Ahead

Our presence at KBW 2025 demonstrated IOST’s commitment to sustainable growth and real-world asset integration. As we continue building, we remain mindful that our true strength lies in our community. With patience, preparation, and collaboration, we will continue working to deliver meaningful results that reward the trust you place in us.

IOST Monthly Report | August 2025 was originally published in IOST on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

As Japan greenlights its first stablecoin, IOST steps into the spotlight with major sponsorships, new product reveals, and growing momentum in the RWA space.

Just ahead of the event, Japan’s first stablecoin was officially approved, accelerating local adoption and drawing renewed global attention to the region’s maturing Web3 landscape. Against this backdrop, WebX 2025 opened with keynote speeches from some of the most influential voices in the space, including the Prime Minister of Japan, the Chairman of SBI Holdings, and Binance’s CZ. The event attracted a diverse crowd of participants from across Japan and the international crypto community.

IOST at WebX: Gold Sponsor, Ecosystem Leader

For the third consecutive year, IOST participated as a Gold Sponsor of WebX, showcasing its innovations and growing ecosystem through an engaging booth presence. This year marked a particularly important milestone as IOST officially unveiled its rebrand as an RWA (Real-World Asset) infrastructure.

At the booth, the prototype of the DID Ring — IOST’s decentralized identity solution — was presented publicly for the first time globally. A core engineer behind the DID Ring project also traveled to Japan to personally engage with attendees and discuss the broader vision of RWA and on-chain identity infrastructure.

Platinum Sponsor of the OKJ Crypto Festival

IOST also joined as a Platinum Sponsor of the Crypto Festival by OKJ, a side event inspired by the energy and tradition of a Japanese summer festival. Organized by OKJ, a licensed Japanese crypto exchange, the festival featured nostalgic activities such as water balloon fishing, shooting games, and cotton candy flavors themed around different Web3 protocols — blending culture and crypto in a uniquely immersive format.

At its booth, IOST distributed exclusive, event-only merchandise, connecting with the community through fun, memorable interactions that reflected the spirit of the event.

Silver Sponsor at the Blockchain Leaders Summit

IOST further solidified its presence by joining as a Silver Sponsor at the Blockchain Leaders Summit TOKYO, co-hosted by HASHED, South Korea’s leading Web3 venture capital firm, and B Dash Ventures, a top-tier Japanese VC. The summit brought together regulatory leaders and high-potential projects, with speakers including a JFSA officer and other key regulators from Japan and the United States.

Blake’s Speech: IOST’s Longevity and RWA Advantage

IOST CEO Blake took the stage during the sponsored events to reflect on IOST’s seven-year journey, emphasizing the platform’s resilience in one of the most competitive markets in the world. He shared how IOST’s shift toward RWA infrastructure positions it for long-term relevance, scalability, and real-world impact in the blockchain ecosystem.

WebX Booth Stage Crypto Festival by OKJ Panel Discussion at Blockchain Leaders Summit Looking Ahead

Throughout WebX, IOST showcased its leadership in RWA, met with numerous potential partners, and laid the groundwork for expanding its ecosystem within Japan and beyond. The connections made and conversations held during the event underscore IOST’s commitment to sustainable growth and real-world asset integration in the Web3 era.

With regulatory clarity improving in Japan and interest in RWA solutions growing globally, IOST’s presence at WebX 2025 signals a pivotal moment in its evolution — from a high-performance blockchain to a cornerstone of tomorrow’s decentralized financial infrastructure.

1,000 units. Gone in 30 mins.

IOST is proud to announce that all Signet Rings have officially sold out — marking a powerful community endorsement of our vision for decentralized identity and modular digital credentials.

A Community-Led Success

From the moment of launch, the response was clear: users across the globe are eager to take ownership of their identity in the Web3 era. Through grassroots referrals, daily engagement, and trust in the IOST ecosystem, the Signet Ring became more than just a device — it became a credential for the future.

This overwhelming response signals a growing market appetite for sovereign identity solutions that combine on-chain credentials with real-world biometric integration.

What’s Next

Now that the initial batch is complete, we’re entering the next phase:

Introducing IOST Signet Ring: Shaping the Future of Decentralized Identity and Real-World Access was originally published in IOST on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

IOST is proud to support the launch of DUSD+, a next-generation, yield-bearing stablecoin developed by Darwin Labs and Paimon Finance. This milestone marks a significant step toward IOST’s long-term vision of becoming a fully compliant, multi-chain infrastructure for real-world asset (RWA) integration.

DUSD+: A New Era of Stablecoins, Live on IOST

Unlike traditional stablecoins, DUSD+ is anchored in institutional-grade private credit exposure through Blackstone’s Private Credit Fund (BCRED), and powered by Darwin Labs’ AI-driven RAISE Engine (Real Asset Intelligent Stablecoin Engine). The stablecoin is further fractionalized through Paimon’s High Yield Token (HYD) mechanism.

Key Features of DUSD+:

>10% Real-World Yield: Unlock access to private credit returns traditionally reserved for institutional players.

AI-Enhanced Stability: Autonomous optimization of yield, risk, and inflation resistance.

Built on Compliance: Deployed on IOST’s regulated blockchain infrastructure, ready for real-world financial markets.

DUSD+ redefines stablecoins — from passive value storage to dynamic, yield-generating, AI-optimized assets.

Why IOST?

The deployment of DUSD+ on IOST reflects more than technological compatibility — it demonstrates a strategic convergence between compliant blockchain infrastructure and traditional financial products.

IOST’s Unique Advantages:

Regulatory Readiness: As the first blockchain green-listed by Japan’s JVCEA and positioned as a multi-chain RWA platform, IOST provides a trusted foundation for regulated DeFi.

IOST Raises $21M in Strategic Round to Accelerate RWA 3.0 Growth was originally published in IOST on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

From “Static Certificates” to “Programmable Financial Building Blocks”

1. Redefining RWA 3.0: A Modular Principal–Yield Separation Framework

As DeFi and TradFi converge, traditional tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) — bonds, real estate, and more — has mostly meant mirroring these assets on-chain as static certificates. This approach lacks the flexibility and composability modern finance demands. IOST’s RWA 3.0 introduces a modular Principal–Yield separation framework that transforms on-chain assets into an institutional-grade, DeFi-ready paradigm.

In current tokenization models, principal and yield are packaged together, constraining on-chain utility and liquidity, neither can be used independently for collateral or for advanced strategies.

IOST’s RWA 3.0 splits each asset into two independent token modules:

P-Token (Principal Token): Represents the return of principal at maturity, designed for low-risk, stable-yield institutional investors.

Y-Token (Yield Token): Represents the ongoing yield stream, freely tradable, collateralizable, and composable for DeFi-native users.

This separation enables true on-chain programmability and composability of cash flows, elevating RWA from “static certificates” to “dynamic financial instruments” by:

Creating secondary markets with real-time yield pricing to attract institutions and market makers

Enhancing capital efficiency and leverage opportunities, unlocking deeper liquidity

Providing developers a sandbox to build structured products and hedging strategies

Bridging DeFi and TradFi value on-chain and off-chain

Static Certificates ➔ Programmable Assets

Transfer & Trade: Holders can freely circulate tokens on secondary markets

Collateral & Lending: Tokens can be staked or borrowed against across lending protocols

Compose & Derive: Tokens power leveraged, principal-protected, and other innovative DeFi products

Customize & Integrate: Developers can rapidly build tailored financial tools atop the P/Y framework

2. Why IOST Is Uniquely Positioned to Pioneer RWA 3.0

Delivering on this vision requires excellence in Compliance, Technology, and execution — three areas where IOST leads:

Technical Foundation: High-Performance, Modular Multichain Architecture

IOST’s proprietary subnet framework lets RWA 3.0 deploy as Layer 2 on multiple public chains or custom subnets, while maintaining native EVM compatibility.

Integrated cross-chain bridges, liquidity engines, oracles, DID, and payment modules provide end-to-end RWA lifecycle management.

Each subnet is fully customizable — tuning performance and compliance modules per L1 characteristics, achieving true plug-and-play multichain deployment.

Compliance Advantage: Full-Spectrum Regulatory Support in Japan

IOST is JVCEA-greenlisted and is listed on JFSA-regulated exchanges (e.g., Coincheck, BITPoint).

Direct collaboration with financial institutions and regulators ensures every issuance and trade meets legal requirements.

This compliance foundation enables IOST to engage meaningfully with financial institutions and regulators in one of the world’s most structured markets.

Proven Real-World Execution: Institutional & Retail On-Ramps

Partnership with licensed platform DigiFT: over US$5.7 billion in institutional bond issuances on-chain.

PayPIN Ring™ with biometric authentication enables compliant retail investors in RWA.

Together, IOST’s modular tech stack, regulatory credentials, and live deployments address RWA’s core challenges — regulatory barriers, low liquidity, and user mismatch — driving the transition from conceptual finance to sustainable on-chain markets.

3. Why Japan Is the Ideal Launchpad for RWA 3.0

Japan offers the world’s most mature regulatory environment for RWA innovation. IOST chose Japan for its RWA 3.0 debut based on three pillars:

1. Clear Regulatory Pathways

Japan’s FSA classifies crypto assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, distinguishing financing vs. non-financing tokens.

The updated Payment Services Act provides legal clarity for stablecoins and crypto custody.

2. Robust Market Demand

As the world’s largest holder of US Treasuries (over US$1 trillion), Japanese investors seek digital access to dollar-denominated assets.

On-chain US Treasuries meet both currency allocation and digitization needs, driving strong institutional and retail uptake.

3. Industry Consensus

The Japan Crypto-Asset Business Association (JCBA) has published RWA issuance and trading guidelines, supporting standardization and regulatory dialogue.

These frameworks accelerate coordination between projects, regulators, and industry stakeholders, speeding time-to-market.

About IOST

RWA 3.0 is more than a narrative — it’s the inevitable evolution of on-chain finance meeting real-world assets. With IOST’s modular architecture, regulatory readiness, and proven deployments, the shift from static certificates to programmable assets starts now, in Japan and beyond.

IOST is building a compliant, multi-chain infrastructure for RWA. IOST is officially listed on the Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association (JVCEA) Green List, highlighting its commitment to regulatory compliance in Japan. With over 7 years of proven performance and the successful launch of IOST 3.0, IOST is leading the integration of Real World Assets (RWAs) into the blockchain, transforming traditional financial instruments into borderless, liquid, and programmable assets.

Everything You Need to Know About the IOST StakeDrop Event

What is the duration of the StakeDrop event?

The Offering Period runs from April 23, 2025, to May 24, 2025. During this period, users can stake IOST or unstake and restake according to the staking mechanism and its corresponding levels and multipliers. The staking will officially begin on May 24, 2025. After this point, no further staking will be allowed.

For example, if a user chooses a 120-day staking period, it will start on May 24, 2025, and end on September 21, 2025.

How are rewards distributed? When can users withdraw their principal?

Overall staking rewards will be distributed over a period of 4 years (48 months), starting from May 24, 2025. Users can withdraw their principal at the end of their staking period, along with their first cummulated reward.

Note: The first reward is the total staking reward for the selected staking duration. For example, if a user stakes for 24 months, they will receive 24 months’ worth of rewards upfront, with the remaining rewards paid out monthly over the next 24 months.

Which wallets are supported for the StakeDrop event?

Any wallet that supports BSC can be used. MetaMask is the recommended option.

Can I withdraw IOST directly to the BSC chain from Binance?

Yes, major exchanges like Binance now support IOST withdrawals to the BNB Chain (BEP20).

Has the StakeDrop been audited? Is it secure?

Yes, the IOST StakeDrop has undergone a security audit. You can view the audit report here: IOST StakeDrop Audit Report.

What is the IOST contract address on the BSC network? Where can I find token information?

IOST (BEP20) Contract Address: https://bscscan.com/address/0xaf48b7e315a52518cfbf7d96c455d9dfad94cb48

IOST (BEP20) Token Information: https://bscscan.com/token/0xaf48b7e315a52518cfbf7d96c455d9dfad94cb48

What is the minimum staking period?

The minimum staking period is 90 days. No rewards will be earned if the staking period is less than 90 days.

If I exit my staking early, how will my rewards be calculated?

If a user exits their staking before the chosen staking period ends (e.g., a user who selected 120 days but exits after 90 days), the rewards will be recalculated based on the 90-day staking period. The calculation logic is as follows: The user will receive 70% of the reward for the 90-day staking period, after deducting a 30% penalty.

Note: The principal will not be affected at any time during unstaking. The minimum staking period for this event is 90 days, so if a user exits before 90 days, they will not receive any rewards.

Why didn’t I receive any rewards during the StakeDrop offering period?

During the offering window, users can choose the amount of IOST to stake and the staking duration. If users wish to adjust their staking strategy (such as unstaking, changing the amount or duration), they can do so within the one-month window. These adjustments will not affect the principal.

Will the rewards for each month be unavailable after May 21, 2029?

There will be a 90-day grace period, meaning that users can still claim rewards for up to 90 days after May 21, 2029. During this period, users can claim any unclaimed rewards.

The IOST StakeDrop FAQ was originally published in IOST on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Following the successful completion of our Airdrop campaign, we are excited to announce the launch of our new StakeDrop program. This initiative represents the next phase in IOST’s comprehensive tokenomics update, designed to foster long-term growth, reward community participation, and drive sustainable ecosystem development.

The IOST StakeDrop program offers token holders an opportunity to earn significant rewards by staking their IOST tokens. With flexible staking periods and attractive multipliers, participants can maximize their returns while contributing to the network’s stability and security.

Note: This article provides information about the IOST StakeDrop program as of April 2025. Please refer to the official website and documentation for the most up-to-date information and terms.

What is StakeDrop?

StakeDrop is a reward mechanism aimed at early adopters on the BNB Chain who participate by staking IOST tokens. Unlike traditional staking programs, IOST’s StakeDrop employs a “Time Coefficient × Achieved Tier” mechanism that rewards longer lock-up periods while still providing partial rewards for early exits.

The program allocates a total of 7% of the new IOST supply (1.4924B IOST) and will be distributed across two seasons:

Season 1: 852.8M IOST

Season 2: 639.6M IOST

How Does It Work?

Staking Tiers and Multipliers

The IOST StakeDrop program offers a flexible staking system with periods ranging from 90 to 730 days. The longer you stake, the higher your reward multiplier:

Participation Process

Choose Your Commitment: At the beginning, you declare your target tier (e.g., 365 days for a maximum multiplier of 3.0×).

Stake Your Tokens: Stake a minimum of 10,000 IOST tokens through the official platform at iost.io/stakedrop.

Earn Rewards: Your rewards are calculated based on your staking amount and the actual duration of your stake.

Receive Disbursement: Rewards are disbursed in a single lump sum at the time of exit.

Reward Calculation

The StakeDrop uses a sophisticated reward distribution formula that takes into account:

The total reward pool for StakeDrop

The amount staked by each user

The effective multiplier based on the actual staking duration

The effective multiplier is determined using a piecewise linear interpolation function, ensuring fair rewards that scale with commitment duration.

Exit Options and Flexibility

Understanding that circumstances can change, the StakeDrop program includes an early exit option. However, to maintain the integrity of the program and reward long-term commitment, early exits come with certain adjustments:

Effective Multiplier Recalculation: If you exit before completing your committed lock-up period, your effective multiplier is recalculated based on your actual staking duration.

Early Exit Penalty: A 30% penalty is applied to the unvested portion of your pre-calculated reward if you exit early.

This balanced approach provides flexibility while still incentivizing participants to fulfill their initial commitment.

Benefits of Participating

For Token Holders

Enhanced Returns: Earn up to 4.5× rewards on your staked IOST tokens

Flexible Options: Choose a staking period that aligns with your investment strategy

Secure Participation: Stake through our official platform with robust security measures

For the IOST Ecosystem

Increased Network Stability: Longer staking periods reduce token velocity and enhance price stability

Stronger Community Engagement: Rewards active participation in the IOST ecosystem

Sustainable Growth: Aligns participant incentives with the network’s long-term success

First Trillion-Dollar Ready RWA Platform: IOST Partners with DigiFT for Institutional-Grade Tokenization

IOST and DigiFT Partner to Offer Compliant RWA Yield Opportunities

New York City, APR 10, 2025 — IOST, a high-performance blockchain infrastructure provider, has announced a partnership with DigiFT, Singapore’s first MAS-licensed digital asset exchange, to offer institutional-grade investment opportunities in Real World Assets (RWAs). This collaboration will provide accredited investors with access to regulated RWA yield products, including iSNR, a DigiFT token that derives its performance from a senior secured loan portfolio managed by Invesco..

The partnership combines IOST’s scalable blockchain infrastructure with DigiFT’s regulatory-first approach, creating a compliant and accessible gateway for investors to earn yield on tokenized assets. Through this collaboration, accredited investors can purchase iSNR on DigiFT’s MAS-licensed platform, bridge the asset to BNB Chain for multi-chain liquidity, and earn yield in the IOST Vault using decentralized finance (DeFi) yield strategies on a regulated foundation.

Leveraging IOST’s scalable infrastructure and DigiFT’s established compliance framework, this collaboration supports the growing RWA tokenization market, which analysts estimate could reach $10 trillion in value over the next decade.* By offering institutional investors a compliant way to access tokenized yield opportunities, DigiFT’s regulated marketplace ensures a secure and transparent investment experience. IOST’s blockchain infrastructure facilitates the efficient and secure transfer of assets, ensuring that investors can trust the process.

The partnership also enables seamless interoperability between BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and IOST’s Layer-2 solution, allowing for frictionless asset movement, atomic swaps, and optimized yield strategies with minimal slippage. The iSNR token is backed by real-world financial assets, offering institutional investors a transparent and risk-managed investment approach within a regulated DeFi environment.

As the institutional tokenization market continues to grow, with the total value locked in tokenized RWAs projected to expand significantly in the coming years, this partnership positions DigiFT and IOST as pioneers in bridging regulated RWAs with DeFi-powered yield solutions.

DigiFT and IOST’s collaboration represents a new standard for compliant, institutional-grade RWA investment, blending traditional finance stability with the innovative potential of DeFi.
