Additionally, several prominent projects like Depins significantly boosted transaction activity.

2. Significant growth in governance node rewards: Despite a 2% reduction in IOTX node rewards, due to the steady growth of IOTX-USD price, validation nodes achieved a 62% increase in rewards, totaling $1.3 million.

3. Enhanced network security: By the end of 2023, 100 active governance nodes staked 3.6 billion IOTX tokens with a record participation rate of 36.8%. As of January 2024, the staking ratio has exceeded 40%.

4. DePIN infrastructure W3bstream mainnet set to launch: W3bstream is compatible with various L1/L2 blockchain networks such as Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Conflux etc.
