October 22, 2025 – IoTeX has released Core v2.3.0 in a major AI Blockchain Upgrade, marking a key step in supporting large-scale AI workloads. The update activates at block height 41,648,761, implementing IIP-50’s slashing mechanism to hold validators accountable. BLS key registration prepares the network for future scalability, ensuring smooth integration of AI-driven DePINs.
Founded in 2017 by Raullen Chai and a team of blockchain and AI experts, IoTeX originally focused on IoT networks. Its April 2019 mainnet launch introduced Delegated Proof-of-Stake with 36 delegates, achieving sub-second finality and 10,000 TPS. Early milestones included Ucam privacy camera integration and Pebble Tracker adoption, growing TVL to $100 million by 2021.
The platform pivoted toward AI and DePIN applications in 2022, leveraging ioPay wallet and W3bstream oracles for machine-to-machine economies. Preceding updates like v2.2.0 focused on EVM compatibility, but the Core v2.3.0 AI Blockchain Upgrade advances IIP-50 slashing and IIP-52 groundwork, further securing and scaling the ecosystem.
The AI Blockchain Upgrade has driven optimism for $IOTX, which rose 4% to $0.038 alongside a 20% increase in trading volume. Analysts predict 15–25% quarterly growth as enhanced validator reliability attracts $100–200 million in staking inflows. Delegate yields may rise 10–15%, drawing institutional participation.
Beyond $IOTX, DePIN tokens such as PEQ and RNDR could see 5–10% gains, supporting the $14 billion sector. With over 1 billion IoT devices expected to contribute to decentralized AI models, the upgrade paves the way for a $1 trillion Machine Economy. Risks like brief sync disruptions are minimized thanks to backward compatibility, ensuring broad adoption and long-term network stability.
IoTeX’s Core v2.3.0 AI Blockchain Upgrade, launched October 22, 2025, positions it as a leader in the $14B DePIN sector by enhancing AI workload scalability and validator accountability with IIP-50 slashing. Building on its IoT roots, this upgrade supports 1B+ devices, driving the $1T Machine Economy with secure, decentralized AI infrastructure.
