IoTeX Needs Action, Not Promises: How IIP-48 Could Be a Turning Point

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

  1. Clear IIP-48 roadmap with deadlines: CIOTX contract, audit, swap, ticker updates.

  2. One-click convert in ioPay and the web app.

  3. KPI dashboard every 2 weeks: active devices, data volume, network fees, W3bstream proofs.

  4. Validator slashing for inactivity and poor performance.


90–180 Days: Tie the token to real revenue

  1. Tokenomics 2.0: allocate a portion of network fees to CIOTX buyback & burn or distribute to stakers.

  2. Data marketplace with monetized real-world use cases:

Proof-of-Location for logistics

Environmental monitoring via sensors

Automotive telemetry for insurance companies

  1. DeFi integrations for CIOTX on Ethereum/Base/Solana.

180–365 Days: Scale and build the brand

  1. Integration with AI stacks: QuickSilver + ioID connectors for LLM agents.

  2. OEM partnerships: devices “Powered by IoTeX” with built-in ioID and automatic data publishing.

  3. 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.

lol. tell that to the 41.8 million devices out there building.

guess they didn’t get the memo. :goat:

A closed ecosystem? Nah. IoTeX is the foundation a lot of these projects build on. We don’t have to own every device to be the trust layer they all run on. That’s the point.

And it was 41.8 million devices, not 61 million. Details matter.

The crickets you’re hearing? That’s the sound of building. You wouldn’t get it. :goat:

Concordo, uma boa proposta
