IOST - is an open source. .The goal of IOST is to provide a decentralized network that will not only provide the possibility of immediate settlements, but also allow you to launch extensive decentralized applications or services without the risk of limiting their functions. the technological project is the distributed Hyper Universe system, the unique consensus algorithm Proof of Believability, and Efficient Distributed Sharding, which are supposed to provide networks with high scalability, responsiveness and stability

- IOST has a unique consensus algorithm, called Proof of Believability, which is a variant of Proof of Stake, free from the problem of centralization in the case of nodes with a large number of tokens. The nodes confirming transactions in the IOST network are called Validators. They are divided into two dynamically changing groups: reliable and ordinary validators. Reliable nodes confirm operations first, then they are confirmed again by regular nodes, which ensures their credibility and finality. Each Validator receives a status based on a credibility rating, which is determined by many factors, such as the number of IOST tokens held, an opinion or contribution to community development. Knots with higher credibility ratings have a better chance of finding themselves in a group of reliable Validators.
Thanks to the above solutions, the network during the tests reached a bandwidth of 7 to 8 thousand. transactions per second (TPS)
