IoTeX IOTX

Device applications and network fees.

IoTeX provides blockchain infrastructure for applications linked to devices and physical infrastructure. IOTX is its native coin.

What is IoTeX?

IoTeX supports smart-contract applications and tools for connecting devices with blockchain services. Native IOTX pays network gas and can be staked to participate in delegate elections. It is distinct from device ownership or any particular application’s rewards.

A blockchain record does not guarantee a device’s measurements are accurate. Applications, connected hardware, staking terms, and token-price changes introduce separate risks.
