IoTeX (ERC-20) A blockchain for the Internet of Things
1 – What is IoTeX ?
- Our world is powered by over 35 billion smart devices that generate a vast amount of data.
- This data is primarily controlled by corporations that are part of a multi-trillion dollar Internet of Things (IoT) industry.
- IoTeX aims to change this status quo by building a future where IoT empowers users, not coorporations.
- The team’s vision is to create a connected world where users own their own data, identity, and devices, and can control how and when their data is used.
- IoTeX’s blockchain is designed to be secure and safe – allowing apps to make use of trusted data, from trusted devices.
- With IoTeX, users have full control of their data, and can even earn crypto assets by supplying data to the IoTeX ecosystem.

2 – How does IoTeX work ?
- This is Amy. With IoTeX, Amy enjoys a secure lifestyle that rewards her for the data she generates with her smart home and electronic devices.
- Amy’s IoTeX-powered smart watch tracks her sleep and fitness while giving her the peace of mind that only she can access her sensitive data.
- Amy also earns IOTX tokens for driving safely, and lowers her insurance costs by proving she smart-locks her home.
- Amy’s solar panels also capture excess energy that she can trade with her neighbor.
- Using physical devices for economic activity is often called “machine finance” or MachineFi.
- IoTex redistributes a portion of hardware registration fees to token holders, allowing users like Amy to benifit from every device added to the IoTeX blockchain.
- To see what’s possible, you only need IOTX tokens and an IoT device such as a smartphone or smart watch.
Question – How can you earn crypto with IoTeX ?
- buying smart devices
- Selling your data
- Staking your data
- Generating data with smart devices
3 – The future of IoTeX
- IoTeX is designed to bridge the gap between data in the physical world and the digital ecosystem of blockchains and decentralized apps (dApps).
- IoTeX’s MachineFi hardware includes Pebble, which allows secure tracking to bring verifiable, physical data to IoTex apps.
- Users like Amy can also use IoTeX devices like the CES award-winning camera, Ucam, to help keep her home secure.
- IoTeX is currently focused on growing its network of real-world data oracles – trusted sensors and devices that offer verifiable sources of data.
- This growth will enable the emergence of new IoT-powered DeFi use cases, like MachineFi assets or prediction markets backed by real world data.
- Since IoTeX’s launch in 2017, over 8,000 devices in 62 countries have begun actively providing data to the network.
