IoTeX, a decentralized network dedicated to connecting the physical world and the digital world, has officially announced a comprehensive expansion of its artificial intelligence (AI) strategic landscape today, launching the "Physical AI" unified ecosystem.

This brand-new vision aims to create a real-world data network driven by machines, devices, and decentralized infrastructure, injecting real-world perception capabilities into AI and promoting the rise of a new intelligence paradigm known as "physical intelligence."

Physical World: The Next Frontier for AI

As AI systems continue to penetrate from pure digital environments into the real world, their ability to truly take root depends on whether they can obtain real-time, trustworthy data from the physical environment. Although today's AI models have demonstrated astonishing capabilities, they still operate in abstract spaces and lack reliable perception and immediate response to the dynamic changes of the real world.

"IoTeX is driving a new paradigm of AI - reality-based intelligence." Raullen Chai, co-founder and CEO of IoTeX, stated, "Real-world data is the missing key component in the current AI technology stack. This strategic upgrade in AI will create an evolving layer of AI intelligence that anyone can participate in, build, or deploy."

By building a shared infrastructure, IoTeX is transforming decentralized networks into a new generation of reality-driven AI foundational platforms, enabling machines and AI agents to collaborate efficiently based on verifiable real-time data.

Build an Open Source Ecosystem for "Physical Intelligence"

Since its establishment in 2017, IoTeX has been at the forefront of connecting physical devices to blockchain networks. Its core innovations include: on-chain machine registration, a real-world data verification mechanism based on zero-knowledge proofs, and the continuous expansion of the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN). IoTeX firmly believes that in the future blueprint of Web3, machines will stand side by side with humans, becoming indispensable core participants in the ecosystem.

The comprehensive upgrade of the AI strategy marks a new stage in the IoTeX vision - connecting the urgent needs of AI developers for "real-time, verifiable data" with the growing global devices and DePIN nodes on the IoTeX network, driving the construction of a truly open, collaborative, and trustworthy "physical intelligence" ecosystem.

The AI infrastructure of IoTeX is driven by four core components:

• IoTeX Layer 1 Blockchain: Providing secure and efficient underlying collaborative capabilities for physical networks.
• ioID Protocol: Build a decentralized identity authentication system for machines and agents
• Quicksilver Framework: An innovative AI engine capable of transforming raw device signals into structured data that can be understood and invoked by AI in real-time.
• $IOTX Token: The economic pillar of the IoTeX network, serving multiple functions such as governance, incentives, and ecological value circulation.

The above components collectively build the new technological core of the IoTeX AI architecture - Realms (Intelligent Domains), laying a solid foundation for the next generation of AI systems with real-world perception capabilities, and fully accelerating the arrival of the "Physical Intelligence" era.

Realms: "Self-evolving Knowledge Bodies" Aimed at the Real World Intelligence

In this AI strategic upgrade, IoTeX officially introduces a brand new core concept - Realms (intelligent domains). It is a continuously self-evolving knowledge system targeted at specific scenarios, capable of dynamically integrating real-time data from machines, humans, and sensors to generate actionable real-world intelligence for key industries such as transportation, health, energy, and robotics.

Realms has two key missions:

1. Provide AI Agent with real-time environmental awareness and dynamic decision support
2. Provide a self-evolving training environment for the next generation of "Physical AI" models.

Each Realm is an intelligent collaborative system that connects data producers, machine networks, and AI developers. As new data is continuously injected from devices and DePIN nodes, the intelligence of the Realm iterates and upgrades, becoming more precise, flexible, and valuable. They are no longer static databases, but rather "living knowledge entities" that grow autonomously as ecological participants join.

"IoTeX is building a sustainable and evolving smart economic system." IoTeX co-founder Jing Sun stated, "Realms is the intelligent infrastructure where machines, humans, and AI evolve together in a dynamic environment."

Ultimately, multiple Realms will collaboratively construct a globally covering trusted environment network – making "physical intelligence" a key resource with scalability and economic value, truly empowering the next generation of AI to land in the real world.

Collective intelligence is rising

With the introduction of Realms and the Quicksilver framework, AI Agents can now access real-time, trustworthy on-chain data on demand—enabling safer decision-making, more accurate predictions, and deep alignment with the dynamic outcomes of the real world. This marks the official farewell of AI to closed silos, entering a new era of real-time interaction with the real world.

This AI strategic upgrade is a key milestone in the development of the IoTeX ecosystem. It will integrate years of technological accumulation in areas such as trusted machine networks, decentralized identity authentication, and token-driven collaboration into a full-stack platform specifically designed for AI.

This is the world's first open-source ecosystem focused on "physical intelligence" - where machines, data, and intelligent systems collaborate in real-time to serve humanity, connect with reality, and create a truly implementable AI intelligent future.

Brand New Future

IoTeX is building an open-source ecosystem that will enable every ordinary person to become a key participant in the transformation of Physical AI. The core team of IoTeX is about to release a comprehensive vision white paper that will fully explain the technology architecture, governance mechanism, and development blueprint of Realms (smart domains), the Quicksilver framework, and the entire physical intelligence ecosystem.

With the release of this strategic upgrade, IoTeX is at the forefront of real-world AI infrastructure, driving a new future — a future where intelligence is no longer confined to abstract models but is deeply rooted in the real world it serves.
