The IOTA ecosystem has welcomed a powerful ally! InfStones, a leader in Web3 validator infrastructure, has officially joined the IOTA Mainnet as a validator. This marks a significant milestone for both organizations as IOTA undergoes a substantial architectural change with its transition to Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS).

Known for its innovative DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) technology, IOTA is revolutionizing the blockchain landscape. The ecosystem is also integrating EVM and Move-based smart contracts, aiming to solve real-world problems in smart cities, mobility, and supply chain logistics. InfStones's involvement in this journey will be pivotal in driving decentralized scalability and efficiency.

"We are excited to welcome InfStones as a validator to the IOTA Mainnet," said Sergey K, Head of R&D at IOTA. "Their experience in engaging validators for major networks will be invaluable in enhancing IOTA's Delegated Proof of Stake mechanisms. This addition will make the consensus protocol increasingly secure and resilient as it scales to meet the demands of real-world use cases."

As IOTA evolves toward a Delegated Proof of Stake system, the network's validity will rest in the hands of the validators who are elected to confirm transactions and produce blocks. This contrasts with traditional Proof-of-Work or even Proof-of-Stake systems, which rely on randomly selected validators. Now, InfStones joins the group of selected validators to ensure IOTA remains lightning-fast, incredibly cheap, and perfectly secure.

"At InfStones, we are constantly seeking out opportunities to support next-generation blockchain protocols and technologies that are pushing the boundaries of Web3," said Charles, Head of Business Development at InfStones. "We are impressed by the unique structure of IOTA and the potential it holds for enabling high-throughput, low-latency environments, which are both critical for use cases like Mobility Solution and Smart City blockchain Frameworks."

InfStones is one of the top brands in the Web3 validator infrastructure space and has supported major protocols such as Ethereum, Polkadot, and Cosmos. Adding the IOTA Mainnet to InfStones' portfolio of projects brings an opportunity to support a DAG network, which does not have the typical blockchain requirements.

This newly added network opportunity allows InfStones to showcase how its benchmarks and infrastructure enable high-throughput and low-latency environments that are both critical for use cases like Mobility Solution and Smart City blockchain Frameworks. The potential created by the combination of DAG architecture and Delegated Proof of Stake, creates an environment fit for the next generation of dApps and enterprise solutions.

IOTA is not simply building for developers; it is preparing for urban planners, logistics companies, and governments. From tracing assets in global supply chains to making interconnected systems in smart cities, IOTA is aiming to establish the framework for years of evolution.

InfStones's involvement strengthens this effort by providing validator support that is both technically sound and enterprise-ready. This development means that when smart city blockchain projects emerge, they will be able to rely on stable, high-performance validators running their operations.

As importantly, this partnership provides better staking possibilities for users. As part of IOTA Delegated Proof of Stake, token holders can now delegate their stake to reputable validators like InfStones to receive rewards whilst also helping to secure the network.

"We are excited to see how InfStones will contribute not just through infrastructure but also by encouraging wider validator participation," added Sergey K. "Their involvement could trigger other top-tier Web3 infrastructure providers to explore IOTA as a serious player in the decentralized tech space. This isn't just a validator announcement; it's a signal that IOTA's DPoS future is maturing, and with InfStones onboard, it's a future built on reliability, scale, and real-world use."

As IOTA continues its journey, the network is becoming more decentralized, scalable, and usable. Validator partnerships like this one are crucial in offering real-world impact without compromising on speed or security.
