IOST is a scalable and decentralized blockchain platform which provides a user-friendly ecosystem for developers to incubate their big ideas. Its testnet was launched this June 2018, and the mainnet is planned to be released in 2019. It faces fierce competition from other general platforms, such as Ethereum, Zilliqa and more. In addition, the distribution of its tokens are relatively concentrated.

IOSToken is trying to carve a niche for itself in the internet of services. They want to solve existing concerns around scalability, transaction throughput and security. They plan to do this through the implementation of advanced technology including Efficient Distributed Sharding and Hyper Universe Distributed System (HUDS). They also make use of a completely unique consensus protocol called Proof of Believability (PoB). This works by validating past nodes based on their past behavior. IOStoken will also have the functionality for other developers to build smart contracts and decentralised applications on their blockchain (dApps). While the technology that they wish to implement is no doubt advanced, a great deal of it still remains on the roadmap and in test net phase. Future performance of the token will depend on whether the team is able to meet the milestones as they have been laid out in their roadmap. IOStoken completed a private token sale to institutional investors. They issued their ERC20 based IOST tokens to these investors which started trading on exchanges in Jan 16, 2018. The token is relatively liquid with a healthy volume to market cap. This makes it relatively less volatile than altcoins with similar market caps.

从项目本身、团队、市场认知和技术四个角度对IOS( Internet of Services )进行综合分析和打分，IOS( Internet of Services )最终得分83.34，属于A-级。IOS( Internet of Services )在项目和团队上略有优势，之所以没有得分偏高的原因在于项目公开网络尚未测试，主网也没有上线。由于有些代码尚处于研发阶段，IOS开源代码只是公开了一部分早期代码，所以即使团队技术实力较强，但技术方面得分不高。IOS项目技术还需进行验证，很多创新技术能否实现存在许多不确定性，存在较大风险。应重点关注IOS( Internet of Services )在近期公开网络上线方面的具体表现。
