| | | IOST Mainnet Running Smoothly | 28 Days after Mainnet Launch | |  Since the IOST mainnet launch, the advantages of our unique consensus mechanism — Proof of Believability are gradually unfolding. In a win for decentralization, IOST mainnet is currently supported by over 60 Servi Nodes who are taking turns to produce blocks in 10 minute interval rotations. This is a substantial improvement over Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) networks which are controlled by exclusive groups of Supernodes (usually 20–30+ Supernodes per network).
