ixo

ixo is a blockchain-based protocol and platform that aims to enable impact finance by issuing and trading instruments whose payoffs depend on verifiable social or environmental outcomes. Developed as an open and interoperable system, ixo seeks to standardize how outcomes are defined, measured, verified, and funded across different projects and regions.

Projects built on ixo specify measurable outcomes, a plan for data collection, and a process for verification. Funding is channeled through programmable contracts that release payments when independent verifiers confirm that outcomes have been achieved. This model supports pay-for-success arrangements, impact bonds, and grant-like instruments with outcome-based disbursement.

The protocol emphasizes data integrity and transparency by facilitating verifiable evidence, consistent outcome metrics, and auditable records. Its architecture is designed to be modular and interoperable, allowing deployment on various blockchain environments and integration with external data sources and verification services.

IXO is the native asset used within the ecosystem to support governance, compensate verifiers, and incentivize participants in the measurement and funding processes.

Adoption has grown in development, philanthropy, and aid contexts, where organizations seek greater accountability and liquidity for outcome-based programs in areas such as health, education, climate resilience, and social protection.
