What Is IoTeX?

IoTeX is the blockchain platform for Real-World AI. Since 2017, its foundational infrastructure has delivered verified, real-time data from the real world to AI systems and decentralized applications. Powering 100+ projects and 40M devices across mobility, robotics, energy, health, and more, IoTeX enables developers to build next-gen AI models and applications that deliver real-world impact.

The IoTeX tech stack provides the data, identity, and verification layers to fulfill the surging demand for real-world data in the new AI era:

* IoTeX L1 — a secure, EVM-compatible blockchain with a Roll-DPoS consensus mechanism that settles transactions, coordinates participants, and distributes incentives. * ioID — a decentralized identity system that authenticates devices, AI agents, and data sources to ensure trust at the point of origin. * Quicksilver — a real-time data interface that verifies, indexes, and delivers structured physical-world data to AI models and applications. * IOTX token — the native digital asset used for transactions, staking, governance, and rewarding contributions to the network.

Trusted by partners like Google, Samsung, IEEE, ARM, and Nordic Semiconductor, IoTeX is uniquely positioned to capture the multi-trillion-dollar AI and data economy.

Who Are The Founders of IoTeX?

IoTeX was founded in 2017 by a team of cryptographers and engineers with backgrounds in blockchain, security, and distributed systems:

* Raullen Chai – Co-founder and CEO. Formerly head of cryptography R&D at Uber, with a PhD in cryptography. * Qevan Guo – Co-founder and Head of Ecosystem. Former research scientist at Facebook with a PhD in machine learning. * Jing Sun – Co-founder and Head of Investment & Business Development. Partner at Sparkland Capital with experience in venture investing and startups. * Xinxin Fan – Co-founder and Head of Cryptography. Former senior research engineer at Bosch Research with a PhD in computer engineering.

What Makes IoTeX Unique?

IoTeX is unique because it was purpose-built to connect real-world devices, data, and AI into a single blockchain-powered ecosystem. Unlike general-purpose blockchains that were later adapted for machine use, IoTeX’s architecture was designed from day one to verify data from physical devices and make it usable for decentralized applications and intelligent systems.
