The Impacts Hub is the public blockchain backbone of The Internet of Impacts.
The Impacts Hub connects through Inter-blockchain Communication (IBC) to the expanding universe of Web3 networks.
We are preparing to launch a funding and skills marketplace to invest in the ecosystem of projects developing oracle services and related technologies for the Internet of Impact.
Projects will be able to issue Innovation Bonds, using the Alphabond Sustainable DeFi mechanism. Stakeholders will be able to invest in these technology innovations, by staking IXO tokens to collateralise loans, or offer grant funding which is linked to verifiable results.
The ixo Protocol Blockchain implements the Tendermint consensus engine and builds on the Cosmos SDK.
Validator nodes of the Internet of Impacts Hub operate this software and are secured by delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS). Autonomous Impact Zones networks can establish their own governance and security models .
The ixo blockchain SDK includes custom modules for Token Bonding (Alphabonds, AMM for token swaps, and generic bonding curve libraries), a Payments Module, Projects Module processing claims, NFT Module and Interchain Identifier Module for digital Identifiers.
Self-sovereign digital identity is built into the blockchain, based on the W3C DID specification, to enable compliant transactions which meet institutional and regulatory compliance standards.
A global decentralised marketplace platform for trading and financing sustainable digital commodities, such as non-fungible Impact Credits.
This non-custodial exchange will be operated by the network of independent Market Relayers who host the nodes of the Internet of Impact Hub.
The Impacts Exchange platform will include a decentralised exchange (DEX) for swapping pairs of fungible token assets from any Internet of Impact network zone and will connect through to the Cosmos Hub DEX to access cross-network liquidity. Facilitating secondary markets for assets such as Alphabond share tokens.
Self-Sovereign Digital Identity and Verifiable Credentials, implemented as core capabilities of the ixo blockchain, will enable token issuers to meet rigorous compliance and due diligence requirements.
