Our Vision, Progress and Next Steps
IOST came out of stealth mode in Q1 2018. Since then we have been executing on our strategy and successfully delivering on our roadmap milestones. We identified 4 key objectives that needed to be reached in order to achieve our ambitious plans of bringing real world and useable blockchain technology applications into the mainstream:
1. Building the base layer network
2. Establishing the community
3. Building use cases into real world applications
4. Mainnet launch, further dapp development and user acquisition
We are excited today to announce the launch of this 3rd phase and share details of our plans of building blockchain use cases into real world applications through our Flagship Dapp Partnership Program. This program will result in flagship Dapps that will launch alongside our Mainnet in Q1 2019.
Through the IOST Flagship Dapp Partnership Program, we will consult and work with a range of organizations and companies in high value sectors that we think most suitable to benefit from blockchain technology to find common pain points and suitable use cases for development of these applications. Throughout this process we will iterate development and testing with partners and industry feedback for several sector specific flagship applications.

Partnerships
We are currently in discussion with potential partners for the IOST Flagship Dapp Partnership Program as well several initial confirmed partnerships. We will continue to explore cooperation with a range of credible organisations across several sectors that have been identified as “high value” to benefit from blockchain technology.
Over the coming weeks We will be accepting applications and finalizing partnerships. We will then start working on the product specification, design and building phase which will lead to the release of industry specific Dapps which will be open source, free to use and open for all on the IOST network. This Flagship Dapp Program will be one of several initiatives rolling out over the coming months to ensure ecosystem growth, adoption and user acquisition for the IOST network leading up to mainnet launch in 2019.
We are very excited to be starting this new phase of the IOST ecosystem development as well as eager to see some amazing use cases and Dapps come to life. We will continue to provide updates on the progress of the IOST Flagship Dapp Partnership Program and as always would love feedback and thoughts from our awesome community!
