Business Idea
IoTeX is the next generation of IoT-oriented blockbuster platform with huge scalability, confidentiality, isolation and the ability to develop for incubating new applications and IoT ecosystems.
IoT has developed rapidly over the past few years, but there are not enough real "killer applications" (revolutionary innovations). McKinsey predicted that by 2025 the IoT industry will be able to reach a performance of 11.1 trillion by economic indicators. dollars per year. Despite the potential of IoT, there are a number of obstacles to development: lack of scalability, privacy issues and lack of functional values. IoTeX solves these problems by introducing the "blockchain-in-blockchain" architecture with a token-economy. By combining the token of stimulation with community efforts, we believe that we can direct the crowdsource industry and the community's talents to solve these technical problems in the development of IoT.

review conclusion
Many details about the project are not yet available on their website or on the web. You cannot see the allocation, the whitelist and token sale. The token sale hasn’t started and i am already seeing 54K members in the Telegram Group. If you look in depth into the whitepaper, you would see that the SMEs or corporations will actually be targeted as IOTEX customers. Just imagine property developers utilizing blockchain technology from IOTEX to build smart homes for their customers. Lower costs, Higher Profits -> definitely a win-win partnership for IOTEX too!
