History

IoTeX was founded in 2017 by Raullen Chai, Qevan Guo, Jing Sun, and Xinxin Fan, who aimed to build a decentralized platform to address the inefficiencies of traditional IoT ecosystems. The founders, with backgrounds at Google, Facebook, Uber, and other tech giants, leveraged their expertise to design a blockchain tailored for secure, scalable, and private interactions among IoT devices. IoTeX launched its testnet in 2018 following a private token sale that raised $25 million. The following year, the project introduced ioPay, a multi-chain cryptocurrency wallet, and later released alpha and beta versions of its mainnet.^[3]^[4]

In November 2021, IoTeX announced a major rebranding to align with its new focus on "MachineFi" — a fusion of machine-driven technology and decentralized finance (DeFi). This announcement sparked a surge in the value of IoTeX's native token, IOTX, which rose by over 200% in a few days. However, the token quickly lost most its gains during the 2022 cryptocurrency bear market. In 2024, the firm rebranded again to focus on DePIN.^[5]^[6]
