IoTeX Project Updates #14 — April 18 to May 21, 2019
IoTeX Mainnet Alpha Release!
Mainnet Alpha serves as the origin for the Internet of Trusted Things, which enables all physical and virtual things — humans, machines, businesses, dApps — to exchange information and value at a global scale. It provides a robust foundation for developers to create next-gen dApps. Look forward to more in-house innovations for data privacy, trusted computing, and IoT from IoTeX to foster the new decentralized economy!
We are proud to have all of you as Genesis Voters & Delegates — let’s continue the great work and build the future of IoTeX together!
