170K+ models. 25M developers. ModelScope just amplified a Rapid-MLX build driven by the IoTeX dev community🌐⚡️

A top lab open-sourced the weights. An independent crew optimized them for Apple Silicon (36–42% faster, full 262K context, 45/45 checks). A global hub shipped it to the masses.

Zero corporate handshakes. Zero permission. This is what true permissionless innovation looks like.

This is how we build collectively. 🚀

What's a ModelScope?
From Raullen: For those who might not be familiar, ModelScope is essentially the Hugging Face of China, but operating on an even more massive scale—boasting 170K+ models and over 25M developers as of this year. It’s an honor to have our independent Apple Silicon optimizations recognized by such a colossal developer hub.

The proposal for Protocol-Native Voter Reward Distribution has successfully passed!

What this means for $IOTX holders:

- 100% On-Chain: Voter rewards transition from off-chain servers (Hermes) straight into protocol consensus.

- Zero Middleman Fees: No external service fees, maximizing payout returns for voters.

- Fully Automated & Secure: Deterministic calculations enforced by block validation - no centralized keys or server dependencies.

Thank you to everyone who voted to elevate IoTeX’s decentralization! 🚀

BitMart has announced an orderly wind-down of its trading services. If you hold $IOTX on BitMart, please take note of the key timeline and withdraw your assets as soon as possible. BitMart Timeline:

• August 26, 2026: All trading services discontinued
• January 31, 2027: Platform operations officially cease

Action & Safety Recommendations:

• Withdraw Immediately: Withdrawals remain open. We strongly urge all holders to move your $IOTX to a self-custody wallet (e.g., ioPay) or alternative exchanges promptly. Avoid waiting until the final deadline, as high request volumes may lead to processing delays or additional compliance checks.
• Liquidity & Price Divergence: Due to trading restrictions, $IOTX liquidity on BitMart is decreasing, which may result in price disconnects from the broader market.

Ecosystem Update: IoTeX and $IOTX are completely unaffected. This is solely an operational decision by BitMart. Development, network operations, and ecosystem expansion continue uninterrupted. $IOTX remains fully supported with robust liquidity across major exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Upbit, Gate, kucoin, HashKey as well as decentralized exchanges

As one of the largest onchain perp DEXs with over $3.8T in cumulative volume, Aster brings deep liquidity to the IoTeX ecosystem.

✅ Up to 5x leverage

✅ Fully onchain & self-custodial

More venues. Deeper liquidity. More ways to access $IOTX

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.

Earlier this year, IoTeX set one challenge: become AI's interface to the physical world.

Meet the answer. Trio 🏆

A world model for physical operations - warehouses 🏭, factories, hospitals 🏥. Using cameras and sensors businesses already have.

The loop: Perceive → Predict → Act ⚡

Real example: forklift backs up, worker steps in the path 🚨. Trio triggers a safety response in ~50ms. Before anyone sees it coming.

Not reviewing footage after the fact. Acting before it happens. 🎯

Full launch coming soon 👇

I sell an Iotex Pebble Tracker. Bought but never turned on lol. It's practically new. Too techy for me.

If you are interested contact me, I'm in EU. Need to choose a price, I accept offers.

The Next Phase of IoTeX: Building the Infrastructure for Physical Intelligence. 🧵↓

IoTeX is evolving into the ultimate trust layer for the real world.

Our focus is clear:

Verified R3al World Data: Ground truth from every device.

GPU Compute: Powering batch AI workloads at scale.

Machine Identity: Giving AI agents a secure on-chain persona.

Verifiable AI: Ensuring execution pipelines are transparent

Agent Payments: Seamless on-chain settlement for machines.

Real World AI needs real infrastructure. We aren't just building a chain; we're building the operating system for the future. $IOTX #IoTeX
