According to official news from IoTeX, the Zanzibar hard fork has been activated on the IoTeX mainnet (block height 53,533,081). According to IIP-59, voter rewards will be calculated and distributed on-chain during each reward cycle, eliminating off-chain services and intermediaries, allowing anyone to directly verify each payment on-chain. The first on-chain distribution will take place the following day.This upgrade also strengthens consensus by checking the proof of holding representative keys, preparing for subsequent BLS signature aggregation. Node operators need to upgrade to iotex-core v2.5.1 without the need to modify configurations or resynchronize.

The Internet of Things public chain IoTeX announced the launch of IOTX supply integration and the IOTX Redemption Portal. Users can exchange the ERC-20 IOTX issued on Ethereum in 2018 at a 1:1 ratio with zero fees for the native IOTX on the IoTeX mainnet. After completing the connection, sending, and signing, the native tokens will be sent to the same address.IoTeX stated that IOTX was issued in 2018 in the form of Ethereum ERC-20. A year later, the IoTeX mainnet went live, and the native IOTX is used to pay for Gas, secure network safety through staking, and complete settlements on IoTeX L1. Since the 2018 contract is still in circulation, IOTX has coexisted in two forms for a long time, and this integration aims to unify the supply.IoTeX also mentioned that the European fintech company Revolut has supported native IOTX, with over 70 million global customers; the licensed exchange in Thailand, Bitkub, has also supported it. Both have joined platforms that already support native IOTX, such as Binance, Upbit, Bithumb, and Kraken.

On October 12, 2026, William Zhou and Daniel Freeman, frontier red team researchers at the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, published a study. The article states that small models may have the ability to self-replicate on commercial IoT devices such as smart ovens and generic Android TV boxes within months. These replicas do not have a single shutdown point, and the doubling time may be measured in days, potentially adapting to unfamiliar devices on their own.Evaluation shows that a 9B model completed inference on 8 out of 9 hardware types. Models of 30B and below have been able to complete many single steps of replication, but errors occur when combined end-to-end; in simplified evaluations, GLM-5.2 and stronger models can achieve end-to-end replication. The team also distributed Gemma4-26B-A4B across 15 generic Android TV boxes, each costing about $55, operating at a speed of approximately 0.39 tokens/second, with each box holding two layers of the model.End-to-end testing was conducted on 8 GCP nodes behind a firewall, propagating through an unauthorized ADB port and setting up Llama 3.1-8B inference. Among the tested open-source models, only GLM-5.2 completed replication fully, transmitting to all 8 nodes in 4 out of 5 trials. The article divides autonomous replication and adaptation into four steps: discovering the target, obtaining execution, establishing inference, and continuing propagation from the new host, stating that there are currently no complete uncontrolled replicas.
