🚨 [Important Announcement] Action Required for $IOTX Holders on BitMart 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

IIP-59 is officially coming to a vote on the IoTeX Hub 🗳️ 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. 👉 http://hub.iotex.io/governance/iip-59-protocol-native-voter-reward-distribution

Real World AI is no longer just a vision - it’s becoming reality Quicksilver Pro is one of the first products built under IoTeX’s Real World AI initiative, giving developers instant access to the world’s best AI models through a unified API.

Announcing Trio 🏆, a world model for physical operations by MachineFi Lab & IoTeX core team 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 👇 https://iotex.io/blog/introducing-trio-a-world-model-for-physical-operations/

🚨 IoTeX Core v2.4.1 "Yap" Hardfork is HERE! 🚨 Full Ethereum Pectra compatibility has officially landed on IoTeX! ⚡️ What’s dropping at block 48,985,561? ✅ IIP-60 (Pectra EVM): Parity with Ethereum’s latest! Unlocking Account Abstraction (EIP-7702), Rollups, and cross-chain BLS. ✅ Candidate Exit Queue: Safer, predictable validator exits to protect network stability. 💥 A massive leap forward for large-scale DePIN & Real World AI workloads! 🛠 Node Operators: This is a MANDATORY upgrade!

IIP-57 is open for community discussion: Trustless Bridge-Replacing Keys with Proofs Following the ioTube exploit, we're evolving security from "trusting keys" to "trusting math" via a ZK Light Client Bridge. Here's what's proposed: ZK Proofs — Uses Succinct SP1 to verify IoTeX's consensus on Ethereum No Middlemen — No multisigs, trusted relayers, or validator contracts Mathematical Certainty — Ethereum verifies a ZK proof of block finality for withdrawals Read the full proposal: https://github.com/iotexproject/iips/blob/master/iip-57.md

The IoTeX 2026 Anti-Roadmap: Why we’re killing the status quo. Most roadmaps are built to fail. We're building IoTeX to endure. We just released our 2026 Anti-Roadmap, focusing on three "impossible" challenges: 1️⃣ Physical Sight for AI: Turning 1 billion+ existing cameras into verifiable machine intelligence via VQA. 2️⃣ Extreme Survival: Moving beyond "Foundations" to a network that survives even if the core team disappears (ZK-bridging & AI nodes). 3️⃣ The Revenue Flywheel: Moving from token inflation to real-world product revenue that drives $IOTX buybacks and burns. We aren't promising a timeline. We are promising Antifragility. Read the full thesis: 👉 https://iotex.io/blog/iotexs-anti-roadmap-for-2026/

🚨 IIP-56 is now live for voting on IoTeX Hub 🗳️ Following the February ioTube exploit, the network needed a clear and decisive path forward. IIP-56 proposes the full deprecation of CIOTX across all networks, with a structured wind-down designed to protect legitimate holders. What this means: ✅ Affected holders on Ethereum, Base, and Solana can already submit claims via the portal http://iotube-claims.iotex.io/ ✅ Holders on BSC and Polygon will be able to self-serve migrate back to IOTX once bridges reopen after a full security review And this is just the start. IIP-57: Trustless Bridge - Replacing Keys with Proofs is already being drafted. We are not patching what broke. We are rebuilding it to be fundamentally more secure. 🗳️ Vote before March 11 https://hub.iotex.io/governance/iip-56-deprecation-of-ciotx-across-all-networks

🇯🇵 $IOTX Staking Now Live on CoinTrade CoinTrade has officially launched $IOTX staking, marking the first regulated staking support for IoTeX in Japan. As a JFSA-regulated exchange, CoinTrade selecting $IOTX as one of only 13 supported staking assets is a strong signal of the network's security, reliability, and long-term utility. This is an important milestone as we continue expanding our presence in Japan and other compliance-focused markets Japanese users can now stake $IOTX directly on CoinTrade and earn up to 4.7% APY. 🔗 https://shorturl.at/sLGcl
