INT - Comparison with Other IoT Projects

Your project idea is very interesting, but there have been many projects like this on the market. What is your project strategy to be able to compete with others?

Hi all,

I posted Part 2 of the DBFT + DPOS in INT series "Why PoW Networks Can't Scale"

You can find it here:

https://medium.com/@graytrain/dbft-dpos-in-int-part-2-390ac43b8d84

Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, mentioned recently at the 20th annual conference of China Association for Science and Technology, that in the coming ten to twenty years, society as a whole will face major challenges due to three main technology advancements – IoT (Internet of Things), machine learning and blockchain technology, the hindsight from historical trends following technology revolutions. Progress in IoT and blockchain technology are moving steadily in tandem as can be seen in the recent growth of IoT blockchain projects. Blockchain technology is undergoing tremendous changes and may hold the key to unlock two of the biggest challenges in IoT: privacy and security. Seizing opportunities from the technological changes is an ongoing goal that is being pursued within these blockchain projects.


Bringing developers together can certainly help find solutions to the challenges in the technology industry. The most successful global tech companies have maintained a developer community as part of their development strategy, as well as holding key developer-centric events such as the annual Apple WWDC Conference, Google I/O Conference, Facebook F8 Conference, attracting tens of thousands of technical enthusiasts and professionals around the world.

INT is building a global developer community, with an aim to create an INT DApp ecosystem. Due to the barriers to entry for blockchain development, many developers interested in DApp development would require some form of assistance or guide. To help achieve this, INT has created a developer community portal, which will be used as a platform for communication and research between developers and enthusiasts.


Experienced developers and technical newcomers are welcome to explore the developer community portal (l (r/http://tech.intchain.io/) and make use of the future resources provided, such as development tutorials and informative articles relating to INT and IoT.

On August 24, 2018, INT Chain was invited to join the “4th China Community Carnival” hosted by the International Community Alliance (ICA) in Shenzhen. The carnival gathered excellent domestic and international community teams and industry experts. In the awards session, INT Chain won the “Top Ten Blockchain Community of the Year Award” with the advantages of community member base, member professionalism, community activity and brand influence.



The ICA is founded jointly by 108 domestic and international outstanding communities and enterprises and guided by the CNII of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Internet Application Innovation Committee of ISC. It aims to establish the standards and cultivate talents for communities, and provide systematic and professional community services for community leaders and entrepreneurs.

INT Chain Launched the Gaia Project

To make the community more active INT Chain launched Gaia Project around the world on Monday, August 27, 2018 which covers two major activities: one is the launch of the global technology developer community, and the other is article and design competition.

Yin Xiangyu, head of INT China, has stated that community autonomy may be the next hot spot for the blockchain. Attracting technology developers and peers around the world to discuss the technology trends of the IoT and blockchain has been what INT always hopes to do. The launch of the Global Developers Community Website (r/http://tech.intchain.io/) is only the beginning of technical ecological construction. In the future, INT will also contribute to accelerating the application of technology by working together with universities, science and technology laboratories, research institutes and other institutions worldwide.

INT Chain also has a plan of launching the mainnet. Whether a meta node will be from the developer community may be another highlight for the community.
