IOST Global Partners Program
In the past month following the launch of the IOST Partners Voting Portal, IOST token holders can participate in one-click voting for their preferred Node Partners, giving IOST token holders a voice in community governance. The Voting Portal is built to be simple, user-friendly, with no technical knowledge required to vote. Within 20 days, we received overwhelming responses from tens of thousands of community members who voted over 1 BILLION IOST to support their Node Partners.

As of today, close to 200 highly qualified candidates are participating in the IOST Partners Program, with approximately half of the candidates meeting the 2.1 million IOST vote requirements and are now formally Node Partners in the network.

Based on IOST’s PoB consensus mechanism, there is no supernode system or a limit on the number of Node Partners validating transactions on the network. All candidates whose votes successfully meet the minimum threshold of 2.1 million IOST can officially become IOST Partners and receive Partner Rewards. We aim to on-board over 500 node Partners in 2019 and build a valuable, thriving ecosystem for the IOST community.


IOST Early Bird Voting is still ongoing, and voters could stake ERC-20 tokens and vote. Starting Mar.10, 0:00 UTC, early bird voting will officially switch to Mainnet voting stage. Meanwhile, the application of candidates will remain open and the staked voting will continue on.

Proven Enterprise Use Cases using IOST Blockchain
IOST x Internet of Things (IoT)
The Civil Aviation Administration in China recently issued the “Regulations for the Trial Operations of Specific Types of UAVs (Provisional)”. The project requirements stated that in order to ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the operating system data, technical methods such as digital signatures or blockchains must be used. These technologies are used to make sure operational data cannot be tampered with after encryption and authentication by third-party technology.

IOST has started collaborations with many unmanned aircraft companies in the aerospace industry. IOST’s strong technical advantages can significantly improve flight data integrity and effectiveness of data analysis.

At the same time, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the Unite States has is publicly soliciting for blockchain technology solutions to address the challenges of model system engineering in aerospace. IOST designed and proposed a Product Management System (PMS) built on the IOST network, which supports the automatic creation, execution and complete verification of important data. Relying on IOST’s tech advantages, we believe NASA could significantly improve the efficiency of aerospace activities and reduce risks. Not only that, the PMS allows all authorized parties to verify data and improve operational efficiency through automated reporting and reliable verifications.


IOST x Charity
The trust of charity activities has always been an issue of social concern, due to donation scandals in the past. The openness,transparency and immutability enabled by blockchain technology can help the charity industry build a tamper-resistant information query system and enhance the transparency and rebuild people’s trust in charities.

At the moment, IOST is in cooperation with multiple charities. For example, IOST has partnered with social enterprise, Mantra, to help them record donation data onto the blockchain. By recording this data on an immutable ledger open to the public for their supervision, it increased the transparency in Mantra’s operations.

IOST will continue to explore similar charity partnerships and we are positive that the technology provided by IOST will help to rebuild the trust and confidence of the public in the charity sector.


IOST x Supply Chain
More governments around the world are calling for the application of blockchain technology to solve issues facing their countries, in particular for the areas of food security and provenance tracking. IOST is in the process of consulting with multiple government agencies aiming to use blockchain-based solutions to trace agricultural products.

More details will be released in the first quarter this year.

IOST x Finance
It is widely reported by financial analysts that blockchain technology has huge potential to transform finance and enterprise services. IOST is currently consulting with multiple finance companies and institutions for blockchain transformation projects.

IOST will carry out in-depth cooperation with relevant institutions in terms of solutions development in clearing, settlement, auditing, and payment transfer in 2019.

Mainnet Token Swap and Voting
IOST is working with major crypto exchanges for the Mainnet token swap, including Huobi, Binance, OKEx, BISS, Bithumb, Upbit, Bittrex, Bitfinex and more. Specific rules will be released soon.

Today, we have officially released the IOST voting portal which also marks the official launch of the IOST global Partnership Program.


We have redefined our blockchain node election to encourage as many people - from as many different backgrounds as possible - to join in and be a part of building the IOST ecosystem. As the first of its kind, this innovative ERC-20 election, which has zero technical barrier to entry and no upper limit to candidates, aims to bring in over 1000 partners from around the world to take part and contribute to IOST’s ecosystem and success.


The IOST Global Partner Program is an innovation in decentralized community development and governance. By incentivizing all participants including the community with high potential rewards, we encourage everyone to become contributors, defenders and stakeholders of the IOST ecosystem. Together, we will drive IOST ’s development and success!

The voting portal for the IOST Global Partner Program ERC-20 Election is now live and available for voting from the 15th Jan here: iost.biss.com

ERC-20 Election Voting — Benefits & Rewards
We hope all community members will exercise their voting rights to decide the future of the network and help drive IOST’s success and development.

IOST and Biss.com have jointly developed a zero-barrier, one-click voting portal for people to get involved in the voting process. To encourage voters, The IOST network incentivizes voting in the following ways:


Early Bird Voting Rewards: When you stake and vote in the ERC-20 election, you will receive an annualized 25% return on your token amount, based on the duration these tokens are staked. This will run until Mainnet launch.

Voting Dividends: Token holders who vote for partners / nodes that successfully reach the 2.1M token requirement during the election, will receive an on-going 50% share of that partners / nodes rewards. The annual reward pool is 840 Million IOST tokens (5 million USD).

Example:
Voter A stakes 1M IOST to Candidate B on Jan. 15th who then successfully secures 21M tokens (1% of the total votes) and contribution score 50% higher than average. Candidate B’s rewards will be 8,400,000 IOST in the first year.

For voter A, their rewards are:

Voter A’s early voting rewards: Early voting will end on Mar. 10th when the automatic token Mainnet swap completes, and he/she will receive annualized interest of 36,301 IOST.
Voter A’s Node reward share: = 1/21(node voting contribution) x 8,400,000 (nodes rewards) x 50% (voter’s share) =200,000 IOST

By filling out the application form, developers can claim missions. Once submitted, the IOST team will contact the applicants.

Application form for development projects: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdVRCygrDxLN8ysuHKi_9cayB6kjSfHkLThiXPM-Jv8nc-l1A/viewform?usp=sf_link

Bounty mechanism for referrals
IOST has also set up a bounty mechanism for referrals. People can recommend qualified developers to IOST and claim a referral bounty. Once the projects are completed by the recommended team, the referrer will receive 3% of the total budget for the project’s development.

Mission rewards
The amount of rewards will be determined by period and complexity of each project. Once the incentive program is available on the official website, we will continue to launch more incentive mechanisms.

Mission progress and completion
At 18:00 every Friday (GMT+8), IOST will collect information of development progress for each project and reward developers for completed bounties. Developers need to inform IOST about their progress before 18:00 Thursday (GMT+8) to be qualified for project review and payment.

Updates of development projects will be published on Slack, Telegram (Chinese and English channel), Github.

Developer ranking mechanism
After performance evaluations of each development project, developers will be scored and ranked. These scores will then be used to weigh applicants. Developers who repeatedly complete high-quality projects will have a higher chance for long-term collaboration with IOST and receive higher rewards.

Performance will be evaluated and ranked at 18:00 (GMT+8) at the end of each month. The top three developers by rank will be rewarded with “Elite Developers” status and gain other IOST special gifts.

Quality control and risk management
Once the project is submitted, the team will review the quality of each project. If a developer/development team encounters problems which may cause delay to deadlines or cannot continue the development, the developer/ development team needs to inform IOST in advance and explain the situation. Uncompleted projects will not be rewarded.

Once the project is submitted, IOST owns full copyrights and developers/ development teams cannot use the projects and their contents for other commercial uses.

Hi, I don't think it's using avatar, check the website here: https://iost.io/

Tokens are important and valuable, during initial stage tokens may help to attract some users. However, longterm investment on building a healthy community can be more important.

PoB is how one of the significant features that differentiates IOST from other projects. As the last version of testnet launched recently, node candidates are going to compete for votes and mainnet will be launched pretty  soon. : )

赏金额度由任务的开发时长与开发难度决定。IOST开发者激励计划在官网上线后，我们将继续优化任务领取方式和激励机制，让开发者更好地协同，并获得更多奖励。



五、任务公示制度



每周四18:00（北京时间）前，开发者/团队需向IOST汇报本周开发进度。

每周五18:00（北京时间），我们会将各项目的开发进度和奖励信息汇总公布。


汇总信息会在Slack、微信公众号、Telegram（中英文社群）、Medium和GitHub等官方渠道进行公示。



六、开发者排名机制


项目在官方评审结束后，会根据项目完成质量得到相应的评分。项目评分较高的开发者/团队承接新一期开发任务时，将在申请者筛选机制中占有更大权重，即更有可能获得优质的高赏金开发项目，并可能在报价中获得更多报酬。


开发者/团队的项目评分情况将会在每月30日18:00（北京时间）进行结算，由官方更新排名。排名前三的开发者/团队将有可能获得官方的社区开发精英荣誉与项目周边奖励。



七、任务质量管理和风险管理



开发项目完成并提交后，官方团队将对项目质量进行审核。



若开发者/团队在开发过程中因某些因素而致使开发工作无法继续或需要延期，需及时通知官方并说明原因。未完成项目者无法得到任务赏金。



若开发者/团队的开发成果未达到预期标准，官方会联系开发者/团队协调改进。若开发质量远不及标准，官方有权中止合作并将项目交由其他开发者/团队。



项目提交后，知识产权即归IOST官方所属，开发者/团队不得在未经官方允许的情况下用于其他商业用途。



后期我们会根据实际需求，对任务质量管理标准进行改进。
