IIP-48 — the unification of CIOTX — is a strong and logical idea. But let’s be honest: for months it has remained just talk. No clear roadmap, no deadlines, no confirmed exchange integrations, no tangible technical releases.
As a result, we have:
Token fragmentation (IOTX native, ERC-20 IOTX-E, and more) that discourages exchanges and investors.
User confusion (Coinbase only supports ERC-20, bridges are complicated).
No transparent KPIs for DePIN/AI adoption, making IoTeX “invisible” compared to competitors.
If we want to attract investors and developers, we need concrete and public steps.
My Action Plan
0–90 Days: Remove confusion and show momentum
-
Clear IIP-48 roadmap with deadlines: CIOTX contract, audit, swap, ticker updates.
-
One-click convert in ioPay and the web app.
-
KPI dashboard every 2 weeks: active devices, data volume, network fees, W3bstream proofs.
-
Validator slashing for inactivity and poor performance.
90–180 Days: Tie the token to real revenue
-
Tokenomics 2.0: allocate a portion of network fees to CIOTX buyback & burn or distribute to stakers.
-
Data marketplace with monetized real-world use cases:
Proof-of-Location for logistics
Environmental monitoring via sensors
Automotive telemetry for insurance companies
- DeFi integrations for CIOTX on Ethereum/Base/Solana.
180–365 Days: Scale and build the brand
-
Integration with AI stacks: QuickSilver + ioID connectors for LLM agents.
-
OEM partnerships: devices “Powered by IoTeX” with built-in ioID and automatic data publishing.
-
Quarterly Messari-style reports with full KPI sets, MRR, device counts, and adoption metrics.
Why this must happen now:
Removes the main growth barrier — token fragmentation.
Shows the market tangible adoption metrics.
Links ecosystem growth directly to CIOTX value, boosting price and liquidity.
IoTeX has all the ingredients to become a leader in DePIN + AI, but only if we move from talk to execution. IIP-48 can be a true turning point if its rollout is transparent, fast, and backed by measurable results.
