The Zanzibar Hard Fork is getting full ecosystem backing. 🏗️
@binance has officially announced their support for the IoTeX network upgrade on Oct 19. A brief pause on $IOTX deposits/withdrawals will occur at 01:00 UTC for a safe and smooth upgrade.
Details below: binance.com/en/support/annou…
⏰ 6 days to Zanzibar.
The Zanzibar hard fork activates on IoTeX mainnet at block 53,533,081 (est. Oct 19, 02:00 UTC).
Delegates & node operators: upgrade to iotex-core v2.5.1 now.
→ Just swap the image: iotex/iotex-core:v2.5.1
→ No config changes. No resync.
→ Nodes still on v2.4.x will fall out of consensus at activation.
Most of the network has already upgraded. Let's get to 100% before the fork.

The physical world doesn't wait for token generation.
Proud to share a breakthrough from our @machinefilab team: Trio-Spark v1.0. It’s a Situated World Model that gives AI the ability to make instant, optimal moves with zero latency drag.
For IoTeX, it's a step toward what we're building: an open, verifiable network of intelligence where distributed autonomous agents and machines collaborate at lightning speed.
Act, not just talk.👇
Today we're launching the first model of the Trio family: Trio-Spark v1.0, a Situated World Model built purely for instant action. Feed it a scenario and up to 8 possible moves, and it instantly returns the optimal choice and full probability distribution in exactly ONE pass.
Zero output tokens. Lightning-fast agent loops.

Voting for IIP-59 is officially live. 🗳️
If you hold staked IOTX, the power is in your hands. This vote directly decides who controls your rewards.
It’s not a team decision. It's not a foundation decision. It's yours.
⏳ Open now until Aug 15. Have your say: 👉 hub.iotex.io/governance/iip-…
IIP-59 is officially coming to a vote on the IoTeX Hub. 🗳️
Right now, voter rewards run through Hermes—an off-chain service that holds keys, computes payouts outside consensus, and charges a fee.
IIP-59 moves everything directly into the protocol:
→ No service fees. Voters keep 100% of their yield.
→ Zero downtime. Rewards no longer rely on external servers.
→ Enforced by block validation, not by trust.
→ Optional auto-compounding into your staking bucket.
True decentralization isn't just an announcement. It’s deleting the parts that require trust.
Voting opens Aug 7, 5:00 PM PT and runs through Aug 15.

🚀 Big move in the #IoTeX ecosystem: IIP-50 proposes slashing underperforming delegates to enforce real accountability, not just probation.
IoTeX Core v2.3 is live on Testnet ⚙️
@iotex_io continues evolving its L1 toward stronger decentralization, scalability and reliability!
✅IIP-50: This hardfork activates IIP-50 — a major step toward improving network reliability and delegate accountability by rewarding consistency and enforcing fairness. Delegates who fall below the 85% productivity threshold will see deductions from their self-stake.
The goal: ensure every consensus participant operates high-performance infrastructure that supports the network’s growth, while protecting voters and maintaining stable rewards.
✅Also in this release
BLS key registration for delegates — setting the foundation for upcoming IIP-52 signature aggregation.
🚨Mainnet activation expected in the next 1–2 weeks — delegates will receive ample notice ahead of the upgrade. Please note that this is a mandatory upgrade for all nodes to stay in sync.

Congrats!
my opinion article just hit the front page of @Cointelegraph 🙌
The GENIUS Act was a major step toward national crypto regulation in the US, starting with stablecoins.
But if we want to support the next wave of real-world innovation, DePIN should be next.
Quick TLDR:
DePIN is not about speculation or NFTs. It is real infrastructure powered by everyday people. Communities are deploying antennas, sensors, and hard drives to support networks for wireless, storage, mapping, and more. These systems are already generating over $250 million in revenue across the ecosystem.
But there is still no legal clarity. DePIN projects are growing fast but operating in a regulatory gray zone. That uncertainty puts contributors, users, and developers at risk.
In the article, I cover:
- Why DePIN doesn’t fit into traditional buckets like telecom, cloud, or DeFi
- Why data ownership, contributor rewards, and governance need clear rules
- What thoughtful regulation could look like
- And how this is a chance for the US to lead in decentralized infrastructure
The GENIUS Act proved regulation can support innovation. Now it's time to bring DePIN into the conversation.
