This is the official release for IoTeX blockchain mainnet alpha. In this release, we baked the blockchain which is consisted of the following components:
-
Networking layer enables the peer-to-peer communication between IoTex nodes
-
Blockchain APIs (through GRPC) allows applications and users to interact with blockchain.
-
Ioctl allows users to interact with blockchain in console.
-
Consensus runs Roll-DPoS algorithm to select the active consensus delegates among a pool of delegates (who are elected via staking and voting on Ethereum).
-
Account protocol processes native IOTX token transfer.
-
Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) with smart contracts written in Solidity enables developers to seamlessly port existing DApps here.
