Overview
Welcome to IOST documentations!
IOST is a new generation of high-performance public blockchain focusing on performance and developer friendliness. Some great features include:
- The V8 JavaScript engine is integrated inside the blockchain, so you can use JavaScript to write smart contracts!
- The blockchain is highly scalable with thousands of TPS. Meanwhile it still has a more decentralized consensus than DPoS.
- 0.5 second block, 0.5 minute finality.
- Free transactions. You can stake coins to get gas.
The infrastructure is scalable and stable. After the launch of IOST mainnet in 2019, developers have made a lot of great DAPPs on the IOST smart contract platform.
We sincerely welcome developers to IOST technology community
