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.
Release notes 👇

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.

Delegates: pls try this version "docker pull iotex/iotex-core:v2.1.2-rc5", it should mitigate this attack.
GM – We’ve observed a coordinated DoS attack against @iotex_io L1, flooding the P2P network with a high volume of transtactions (~10,000 tx/min), designed to congest the network, consume node resources, and slow block production. The attack has been rate-limited at the API layer, and we are reinforcing rate-limiting at the P2P layer. A new release will be out soon.
Impact: The attack slows down transaction propagation and increases node resource consumption (CPU, memory, bandwidth), resulting in slower block production. No impact on assets on-chain at all.
qevan.io retweeted
5000 TPS is incredible (achieved using pipeline techniques)! 🚀 This level of acceleration would unlock new ops for innovative apps/tokens once in production!
Remember, @iotex_io L1 is an EVM PoS chain. We’re developing high TPS + sub-second blocks features without sacrificing decentralization and reliability—this could be useful for evolving @ethereum mainnet! 🔥
The @iotex_io dev team is always on the move! We're now experimenting with a potential 1 Second Block Time (image below) which would bring the IoTeX L1 to 5000TPS... 👀👀 making it the fastest EVM L1 on the market! 💨⚡️
⚠️ Please be mindful that this is still a test PoC.. but we're heading in the right direction. From the image below you can see how, during the 4s interval (x-axis), the block height (y-axis) went from ~105300 to ~105550. That's 250 blocks in 4 seconds... 😉
Anyway lots more testing to do! We'll keep all builders updated on the upcoming progress! 🤝

.@BlockchainAssn Policy Summit Day 1 takeaways:
- The next 100 days will be crucial for USA crypto legislation. Time to lock in.
- Real, tangible use cases like DePIN greatly legitimize crypto in the eyes of previously skeptical lawmakers.
- Republicans fucking love crypto. Many Democrat lawmakers still need convincing.
- Sensible crypto policy is undoubtedly coming to the USA in 2025. You can feel the urgency to get this right from both public and private sectors.
- The fact that DePIN is on a shortlist of priority areas for legislation alongside stablecoins, DeFi, staking, etc. is hugely bullish for DePIN.
Lots of power in the room today. It was a pleasure to discuss crypto policy with fellow builders, Congressmen, and the amazing BA staff. Day 2 🔜
IoTeX's morning at Day 1 of the @BlockchainAssn #BAPolicySummit in D.C. was big on DePIN discussion:
🔹 IoTeX joined the DePIN working group with leaders like @multicoin, @hedera, @Filecoin, @geodnet & @helium focusing on DePIN policy and educating lawmakers.
🔹 Colin McLaren of @CIFonX's Keynote: Crypto is winning.
🔹 @giancarloMKTS & @BillHughesDC: More utility = more regulatory risk.

Bridged USDC Standard from @circle is now LIVE on the IoTeX Network. Welcome $USDC.e 🪙
🔗 iotex.io/blog/usdc-e-on-iote…
This deployment unlocks enhanced compatibility for builders & seamless transactions for users, making $USDC.e a powerful addition to the IoTeX stablecoin landscape.
Through deploying the Bridged USDC Standard with $USDC.e this also paves the way for a potential future upgrade to $USDC on IoTeX.
Why it matters for DePIN:
Stablecoins like $USDC.e provide store of value, simplified settlement for payments and commerce, and a reliable way for both users and machines to transact – all vital ingredients for #DePIN's growth and user adoption.
