IOST is a blockchain project highly favored by institutional investors. Founded in Singapore in 2017, the company is backed by top global investors including Sequoia Capital, GGV Capital, and ZhenFund.

The latest version, IOST 3.0, adopts an innovative architecture—comprising a compliant-operated L1 mainnet and an L2 mainnet based on the BSC ecosystem. This dual-layer design is thoughtfully crafted: the upper layer provides a complete compliant infrastructure, while the lower layer significantly enhances transaction throughput through Layer 2 scaling technology.

In terms of functional positioning, IOST targets a broader blue ocean—the intersection of real-world assets(RWA) and multi-chain ecosystems. The project's core technological focus includes RWA tokenization solutions, DID identity verification systems, and the emerging PayFi ecosystem. These modules work together to connect traditional finance(TradFi) with decentralized finance(DeFi), ultimately building institutional-grade Web3 financial infrastructure.

At its core, IOST 3.0 aims to solve longstanding challenges: blockchain network scalability, system security and protection, and user-friendly experiences. Progress in these three dimensions is essential for blockchain technology to truly realize large-scale application.

The RWA story is well told, but I wonder if 3.0 can actually be implemented. It was the same way during 2.0...

RWA definitely has some potential, but with so many L2 solutions out there, what makes IOST stand out?

Sequoia + Matrix Partners + ZhenFund, this lineup is really strong, just not sure how it will turn out later.

Sequoia Jingwei and Zhenge have all invested money, and this lineup indeed has some potential. RWA is currently a hot topic, but talk is cheap; the key is the actual implementation data. The double-layer architecture of 3.0 sounds good, but I wonder how much actual TPS it can handle. Payfi + DID + RWA all stacked together—will it make things more complicated? Institutions are optimistic about forming alliances, but retail investors should wait and see how the market performs before making decisions. The biggest risk for projects like this is being impressive on paper but failing in practice. Hopefully, IOST isn't like that. Compliance + scalability + user experience all need to work together. It's easy to say, but the real challenge is coordinating these aspects without causing conflicts.

Sequoia, GGV, and other major institutions are all involved, indicating that IOST truly has some skills. However, the RWA approach still sounds a bit superficial; we need to see how it performs after 3.0 is officially launched.

Sequoia and GGV are both backing it up, and the RWA path doesn't seem so uncertain anymore... However, can a compliant L1 paired with BSC L2 architecture truly address the pain points in user experience?

The dual-layer architecture sounds good, but can we see the actual TPS data when it runs? Don't just talk about Layer 2 scaling; what is the actual throughput?

Sequoia + Matrix Partners + ZhenFund endorsement, this configuration is indeed powerful. It seems the RWA track is really about to take off.

Sequoia + Matrix Partners + ZhenFund backing, this lineup can indeed compete. However, the RWA concept has been heard too often in the past two years. Will IOST be able to truly deliver this time?
