IOPn redefines ownership and identity in the digital economy, merging real-world assets (RWA) and digital identities (DID) in a single ecosystem. Based in the UAE, it aims to create the internet’s ownership layer through hybrid infrastructure.
About IOPn
IOPn (Internet of People and Nodes) is a decentralized ecosystem that enables individuals to fully control their data, identities, and assets. The project is built on OPN Chain, a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain designed to unify fragmented digital systems while providing compliant Web3 infrastructure.
Challenges It Addresses
OPN Chain provides a familiar environment for Ethereum developers while offering significant speed and cost advantages.
-
Blocks are produced in approximately 1 second, transactions are instantly confirmed.
-
Gas fees are predictable and low, with a minimum of 7 Gwei.
-
Ethereum tools and contracts work without modification.
-
Tendermint consensus ensures network security and stability.
How the Ecosystem Works
The IOPn ecosystem is structured around several core components. At its center is OPN Chain, built on Cosmos SDK, fully EVM-compatible, and offering fast transaction finality with ~1 second block times.
ATLAS integrates AI workloads and GPU computing with blockchain to bridge AI and Web3 applications. OPN Tokenization allows real-world assets (like real estate and commodities) to be tokenized and fractionalized with smart contract-managed ownership. NeoID and NeoCard provide verifiable digital identity and on-chain rewards tied to user activity.
