About IOPn
IOPn is a sovereign infrastructure project founded in the UAE in 2024, built around OPN Chain, a Cosmos SDK-based EVM-compatible Layer 1, with a product stack covering on-chain identity, rewards and RWA tokenization: NeoID provides cross-platform verifiable digital identity, NeoCard and the points system convert on-chain activity into real-world perks, and Mosaic handles fractional issuance of property and commodities. It targets identity fragmentation and dependence on foreign infrastructure: if corporate identity stays in PDFs and central databases, AI agents cannot verify it in machine-readable form.
In May 2026, Innovation City, a free zone in Ras Al Khaimah, converted the business licenses of more than 1,000 registered companies into soulbound tokens on OPN Chain, with ownership changes and compliance updates all recorded on-chain so banks, regulators and AI agents can check them in seconds. Core transaction data goes on-chain while sensitive data stays off-chain in its privacy design; verification of those credentials is currently concentrated inside the zone, with no named external banks or regulators connected yet.
On May 4, 2026, the Innovation City free zone in Ras Al Khaimah moved the business licences of more than 1,000 registered companies onto IOPn's OPN Chain, giving each firm a cryptographically verifiable credential that travels with the entity, with first use limited to the zone's business centre and ecosystem services.
The identity layer runs on IOPn's OPN Chain, an EVM-compatible network claiming over 10,000 TPS and sub-second finality, with more than 14 million wallets having touched its testnet; in July 2026 the project appeared as a beta-stage listing on AthenaX, while mainnet remains the first phase of its published roadmap.
IOPn will connect business identity with NeoID and NeoCard, then push the Mosaic RWA framework, the ATLAS GPU compute arm and cross-chain governance, keeping Gulf governments and enterprises as the core market.
