IOST Signet Ring: Shaping the future of decentralized identity and real-world access
IOST is excited to announce the upcoming launch of the Signet Ring, a foundational hardware module that integrates advanced biometric authentication with blockchain technology in multiple dimensions. The Signet Ring not only provides users with secure, verifiable digital identity control but also serves as a modular entry point into the IOST RWA ecosystem.
Innovative 'Proof of Heartbeat' technology
The Signet Ring employs innovative 'Proof of Heartbeat' technology, utilizing heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) data to achieve decentralized biometric identity authentication. By integrating these signals into wearable hardware, the Signet Ring brings real-time, user-controlled identity assurance to Web3.

RWA 3.0: A New Paradigm for IOST Reshaping the Order of Real Assets on the Chain
A comprehensive leap from 'static certificates' to 'programmable assets'
1. Redefining RWA 3.0: Modular principal-yield separation financial mechanism In the current convergence of #DeFi and #TradFi , traditional #RWA (real-world asset) tokenization is often limited to simply mapping assets such as bonds and real estate onto the chain, making it difficult to meet modern finance's demands for flexibility and combinability. #IOST 's proposed RWA 3.0, through a modular 'principal-yield separation' financial mechanism, transforms on-chain assets into a new paradigm that meets institutional stable demands while accommodating DeFi innovation vitality.

After the release of [IOST Community Long-term Rewards] details of the airdrop of over 1.7 billion IOST tokens, the full chain asset snapshot was completed at block height #3760105463 (approximately March 15, 2025, 00:00, UTC+0). If you held an amount of IOST tokens on the original L1 chain greater than or equal to 1,000 at the time of the snapshot, you meet the eligibility for the airdrop and can claim your share in the airdrop allocation.
Currently, IOST has officially opened the L1 (IOST chain) Airdrop claim on April 9, 2025, and multiple exchanges globally, including Binance, have completed the first distribution of the IOST airdrop. (Note: The IOST airdrop from exchanges like Binance does not require users to claim manually; please follow official announcements for the airdrop distribution status from all supporting exchanges.)
Q: What is the time frame for the StakeDrop event?
A: The Offering Period is from April 23, 2025, to May 24, 2025, at 8:00:00 UTC+8. Users can freely choose the staking duration based on the relevant levels and multiples of the phase's staking mechanism, or re-stake after canceling. The staking officially takes effect on May 24, 2025, at 8:00:00 UTC+8, and no further staking can be done afterwards. For example, if a user chooses to stake for 120 days, it will be counted from May 24, 2025, until the staking ends on September 21, 2025.
Q: How are the rewards distributed? When can the principal be withdrawn?
