‼️ Introducing TruStream — Bringing Verifiable Data from IoT Devices to Blockchain & IoT Builders ✅

Technology is transforming the way society operates, including the concept of “trust”. In today’s world, trust is subjectively based on reputation, status, and more. However, the rapid emergence of misinformation — from deepfakes to counterfeit products to fake news — compels us to reconsider what we trust and why we trust it. In the future, trust will not be simply assumed but rather proven with verifiable, objective facts.

This is why we are excited to launch TruStream, an open-source protocol that combines tamper-proof hardware and software to create cryptographically signed data assets that can be trusted, utilized, and monetized on the IoTeX Network and beyond.

‼️ Welcome to IoTeX 2021 -- a new machine economy will be born to unleash new value and assets to the masses! 🌐

2021 will be the year that IoTeX cements our position as the top blockchain platform for the Internet of Things (IoT). We will introduce the first decentralized autonomous machines (DAMs) to unleash machine-backed finance/assets that are only possible on IoTeX. We will also bring real world data oracles to the blockchain industry for the first time, powered by self-sovereign devices. This will all culminate into hyper-growth of the IoTeX Network, including users, DApps, tokens, partners, and exchanges.

Explore our detailed plans in our new IoTeX 2021 blog — together we will make this the biggest year for IoTeX yet! 📈

‼️ IoTeX Featured in Comprehensive Research Report on Blockchain + IoT by Madrid-Based Academic Researchers ✅

Researchers from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid, Spain) have published a fascinating report on the Blockchain + IoT landscape via MDPI, a top academic journal. The report praises IoTeX's Identity & Access Management (IAM) framework and provides in-depth analysis of IOTA vs. IoTeX. The conclusion?

"IoTeX's decentralised ledger-based framework for data authenticity protection in IoT systems proposed by Xinxin Fan is well-positioned to bring IoTeX into the front line of IoT blockchain-based implementations that manage intentional risk effectively. Both IOTA and IoTeX projects are immersed in promising design improvements. We consider IoTeX a more complex platform, but at the same time, better positioned to implement resilient IAM frameworks."
