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.

Enterprise-Grade Security: A robust smart contract layer and proven consensus ensure institutional-level assurance for asset issuance.

“With the IOST Foundation’s support, we’re unlocking a new class of stablecoins — rooted in real-world yield, powered by AI, and secured by a chain built for compliance.” — Hedy Wang, Co-Founder of Darwin Labs

As decentralized finance evolves, IOST remains committed to bridging the worlds of blockchain innovation and traditional finance — empowering developers, institutions, and users with the tools to build the future of compliant, high-yield 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.

Introducing the New IOST 3.0 was originally published in IOST on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Hi, IOSTians!

The long-awaited moment has arrived! We are thrilled to announce the expansion of the IOST ecosystem into BNBChain L2 for RWA and PayFi, a milestone we’ve been preparing for over a year. To celebrate and show our gratitude to our partners and loyal holders, we’re kicking off an exciting $10+ airdrop, the largest airdrop in IOST history!

We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support from all IOST holders. Your belief in our vision and continued loyalty have been the foundation of our growth.

To bootstrap the new ecosystem, the airdrop will be distributed in IOST L2 Tokens. To reward global IOST holders, the airdrop includes users on IOST L1 through a snapshot and holders in partnered exchanges.

Airdrop Details:

Total Rewards: 8%(1,705,600,000 IOST) of new IOST L2 tokens (~$10M+ worth of IOST as of today).

Eligibility: Hold IOST on strategic partner exchanges and/or keep IOST on our L1 Mainnet.

Distribution:

852.8M allocation for IOST L1 holders: This portion will reward holders based on the IOST L1 snapshot data. Additionally, stakers will be rewarded through a “staking length weight”.

852.8M allocation for exchange holders: Distributed proportionally to IOST holders across participating exchanges.

Supported Exchanges: Official partnered exchanges will be announced in the coming weeks. Please note that exchanges may make the announcements directly, so stay tuned for official updates!

How It Works

IOST L1 Snapshot Airdrop:

The allocation will reward holders based on their IOST balance at the time of the snapshot.

The amount will be decided by the amount you hold in your wallet. A coefficient of up to 1.5x is applied depending on the staking length.

Exchange Holders:

The claiming process will be different based on different exchanges. We are working with prestigious exchanges to provide a seamless airdrop experience for our holders.

The airdrop allocation will be distributed proportionally based on the total IOST holdings across participating exchanges.

Multiple exchanges will participate in the IOST airdrop. The 4% allocation will be divided proportionally based on the total amount of IOST held by the exchanges.

For more detailed information about airdrop, please refer to this link.

In the coming 4 weeks:

We’re working tirelessly to launch this grand airdrop event. In the meantime, please make sure to:

Check which exchanges are participating

A snapshot will be taken

The crypto world is no stranger to airdrops, but the IOST Foundation’s latest initiative is more than a token giveaway — it’s a blueprint for sustainable ecosystem growth. With 4.26 billion IOST tokens allocated to reward loyalty, attract newcomers, and empower builders, this plan prioritizes long-term engagement over short-term gains. Let’s dive into how IOST is redefining value creation for its community.

How Tokens Are Distributed Total airdrop allocation: 4.26 billion IOST Why This Airdrop Stands Out

Unlike typical airdrops that reward passive holders, IOST’s strategy targets *active contributors*. The goal? To foster a vibrant, decentralized network where users, developers, and voters collectively drive innovation. Here’s what sets it apart:

Rewarding Loyalty, Not Just HoldingsExisting users aren’t just getting free tokens — they’re incentivized to stake longer for bigger rewards. By locking IOST for 90 to 730 days, loyal participants can multiply their airdrop rewards by up to 4.5x . Early withdrawals are possible but come with penalties, ensuring commitment aligns with ecosystem stability.

New Users: Start Small, Earn BigFresh faces are welcomed with structured incentives. By staking IOST and staying active, newcomers unlock rewards that vest over time, integrating them smoothly into the ecosystem.

Developers & Builders Take Center StageA dedicated portion of the airdrop funds grants for DApps, infrastructure upgrades, and community projects. This ensures IOST remains a cutting-edge platform where builders thrive.

Early Supporters Reap Long-Term BenefitsThose who backed IOST’s governance early receive **2% of the total airdrop**, with 70% of their rewards distributed gradually over 12 months — a nod to their role in shaping the network’s future.

Breaking Down the Airdrop Mechanics

For Existing Holders: Compound Your Commitment

Initial Allocation: Based on current holdings.

Staking Multipliers: Lock tokens for 90 days (1.5x rewards), 180 days (2x), 365 days (3x), or 730 days (4.5x).

Distribution: Rewards are released monthly post-staking, but completing the full term unlocks immediate payouts.

Penalties: Early exits slash rewards, discouraging quick flips.

New Users: Grow with the Ecosystem

Progressive Rewards: Start staking to trigger a vesting schedule. For example, Season 1 (IOST 3.0 Launch) offers 20% upfront rewards, with 80% vested over six months.

BNB Chain Integration: Season 2 targets BNB Chain users, bridging communities by rewarding BNB holders who engage with IOST.

Ecosystem Fund: Building the Future

Grants and competitions will fuel developer creativity, while governance-approved proposals ensure funds are allocated transparently.

Safeguarding Fairness and Value

IOST’s plan includes checks to prevent exploitation:

Voting Caps: No single entity can dominate governance decisions.

Milestone-Based Funding: Ecosystem grants are tied to measurable progress.

Anti-Dumping Measures: Gradual vesting and staking penalties discourage speculative behavior.

Airdrop Seasons: Opportunities to Jump In

Season 1: IOST 3.0 Launch

Goal: Kickstart participation post-rebranding.

Requirements: Stake a minimum IOST amount + one monthly transaction.

Rewards: 20% unlocked immediately; 80% over six months.

Season 2: BNB Chain Collaboration

Goal: Cross-chain growth by onboarding BNB users.

Requirements: Hold BNB and engage with BNB Chain products.

Rewards: Same six-month vesting as Season 1.

A Community-Centric Vision

IOST’s airdrop isn’t just about distributing tokens — it’s about cultivating a resilient, engaged community. By aligning rewards with long-term participation, the network ensures that every stakeholder, from developers to day-one holders, contributes to its evolution.

Whether you’re a seasoned IOST supporter or a curious newcomer, now is the time to stake, build, and vote. The future of IOST is decentralized, dynamic, and designed to reward those who invest in its growth.

Stay active. Think long-term. And be part of the IOST revolution.

We are incredibly grateful to the participants who took part in our recent rebranding vote. Your engagement and support are what drive IOST forward, and we truly appreciate your involvement in shaping the future of our project.

As we move forward, our next priority is to work closely with exchanges to ensure that all steps are aligned and executed correctly. We are dedicated to securing the necessary approvals from these exchanges to ensure a smooth transition and implementation.

Once we have the green light, we are eager to roll out our comprehensive plan as quickly as possible. Our L2 mainnet launch, which is targeted for February, promises to be a milestone moment for IOST. We’re excited to unveil plenty of new features and updates alongside this launch, marking a major step forward in our blockchain journey.

Note: The L2 is fully ready to go, and there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to ensure everything is set for the upcoming launch. Stay tuned for more updates as we work towards this exciting new phase.

How to Vote on IOST’s Governance Proposals: A Step-by-Step Guide was originally published in IOST on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Everything You Need to Know About Eligibility, Weight Calculation, and Proposal Approval Criteria

Voting Period

Start Time: Fixed at January 5, 2025, 00:00:00 (UTC+8).

Duration: 7 days from the start time.

End Time: January 12, 2025, 23:59:59 (UTC+8).

Voting Eligibility

Eligibility to Participate (an address must meet at least one of the following conditions):

Holds at least 1,000 IOST tokens.

Staking (voting for a node) with a staked amount of at least 1,000 IOST.

Voting Restriction:

Each address can only vote once. After a vote is cast, it cannot be changed or revoked.

Initial Weight Calculation

Initial Weight (TIW): TIW = BW + (SW x 1.2)

BW: The amount of IOST held by the user at the time of voting.

SW: The amount of IOST staked (for node votes) by the user.

1.2: The staking weight coefficient.

Time Weight (TW)

Weighting Rule: After voting begins, linear weighting is applied, decreasing as the remaining days in the voting period decrease.

Weighting Formula: TW = 1 + (Remaining Days x 0.04286)

Maximum Weighting Ratio: 30%

Note : The factor 0.04286 corresponds to distributing a 30% maximum increase across the 7 days (0.30 / 7 ≈ 0.04286).

Final Weight Adjustment

Snapshot: At the start of voting (January 5, 2025, 00:00:00 UTC+8), record each voting address’s initial IOST balance (IBW) and initial staked amount (ISW).

Monitoring and Disqualification:

During the voting period, each address’s current IOST balance and staked amount are continuously monitored.

If any voting address’s current balance + current staked amount is less than 90% of its snapshot total $$(\text{IBW} + \text{ISW})$$, that address’s voting eligibility is immediately revoked.

Final Weight (FW) Calculation:

For addresses qualified: FW = ITW = (BW + (SW x 1.2)) x TW

For addresses disqualified, the final weight (FW) is 0.

Maximum Weight Limit

Limit Setting: The maximum voting weight for a single address is capped at 2% of the total voting weight.

Total Voting Weight: Calculated at the end of the voting period, as the sum of the final weights (FW) of all voting addresses.

Applying the Limit: If any address’s final weight exceeds this 2% cap, its weight is reduced to that cap.

Definition of Proposal Approval

Voting Options:

There are only two options:

APPROVE: Indicates approval of the proposal.

REJECT: Indicates disapproval of the proposal.

Voting Result Calculation:

After voting ends, calculate:

TotalSupportWeight: The sum of final weights (FW) of all addresses that voted “APPROVE”.

TotalAgainstWeight: The sum of final weights (FW) of all addresses that voted “REJECT”.

Approval Rate:

(Expressed as a percentage; for example, 50%.) Proposal Passing Conditions:

A proposal is approved if its Approval Rate exceeds 50%.
