A Spatial Web platform for verifiable impact coordination, giving people, organisations, and AI agents shared state, structure, and rules for coordinating work, financing, verification, and governance. Built around Impact Hub (chain-id ixo-5), a live Cosmos SDK Layer-1 appchain with IBC running custom modules for entities, claims, tokens, bonds, smart accounts, and governance, with W3C-aligned verifiable credentials carrying IXO system identifiers and a decentralized domain registry for digital-twin identifiers. IXO Matrix, a sovereign data/messaging layer on open Matrix Protocol standards, is self-hostable, end-to-end encrypted, and federated across independently-hosted servers, with each room resolvable as a DID on Impact Hub. Agentic oracles — including WISP, which uses Giza zero-knowledge ML for auditable climate impact-claim verification — plus MCP servers extend the platform with AI-driven services. SDKs (@ixo/impactxclient-sdk, @ixo/matrixclient-sdk) and CosmWasm contracts let third parties build against the stack; client apps (IXO Portal, IXO Studio, IXO Mobile, Impacts X, Jambo Wallet) are built on top of it. Deployments include decentralised digital MRV for clean cooking and a Duke-NUS pathogen genomics/infectious-disease intelligence platform (PathGen) previewed December 2025 in Singapore.
LicenseApache-2.0 (org-wide default across github.com/ixofoundation, confirmed independently on the ixo-blockchain repo; one named exception — local-ixo uses MIT).
Dev Status 🟢 Active
OwnerIXO Foundation (non-profit; received 10% of genesis token distribution). Repos are split across two GitHub orgs (ixoworld and ixofoundation), muddying single-owner attribution — ixofoundation hosts the flagship ixo-blockchain repo and is the org referenced throughout this entry.
Governing BodyIXO Foundation (non-profit steward/registrant) | On-chain governance module (Cosmos governance proposals; IXO-token holders vote — the 40% Community Pool specifically requires such a proposal to disburse, with a dedicated DAO intended to eventually take over ecosystem-investment decisions, not yet established).
CountrySwitzerland (Zug) — per two independent third-party organisation profiles (Solar Impulse World Alliance, Blockchain for Social Impact); not independently confirmed via IXO's own primary site.
Start Year 2021
StackGo — Cosmos SDK Layer-1 appchain (chain-id ixo-5) with CometBFT/Tendermint consensus and IBC; CosmWasm for smart contracts; Matrix Protocol (via IXO Matrix, a separately-federated messaging layer); TypeScript SDKs (@ixo/impactxclient-sdk, @ixo/matrixclient-sdk).
FundingFoundation-backed (IXO Non-profit Foundation, 10% of genesis token distribution) plus a native IXO token — 100M minted at September 2021 genesis, 40% (40M) held in an authorised-but-unissued Community Pool requiring Network Governance Proposals to disburse, intended for eventual DAO-governed ecosystem investment.

P2P Platform Attributes
OriginsVerifiable impact coordination / Spatial Web — created to give people, organisations, and AI agents shared state, structure, and rules for coordinating work, financing, verification, and governance, with an initial focus on outcome-based/impact financing.
DatabaseImpact Hub's own Cosmos SDK state store (chain-id ixo-5) for on-chain entities/claims/tokens/credentials; IXO Matrix rooms hold off-chain messaging/data, each resolvable as a DID on Impact Hub.
Query LanguageCosmos SDK gRPC/REST query endpoints against Impact Hub; Matrix Client-Server API for IXO Matrix room/message queries.
Data FormatsW3C-aligned Verifiable Credentials (JSON/JSON-LD) carrying IXO system identifiers; Matrix Protocol event JSON for IXO Matrix.
Collaborative Live EditingN/A — not a document/content-editing product; IXO Matrix supports real-time messaging, not live co-editing.
Rich Text EditingN/A — not applicable to a coordination/identity/financing chain.
Mobile SupportYes — IXO Mobile client app; Jambo Wallet (mobile-first wallet for the IXO ecosystem).
Web SupportYes — IXO Portal, IXO Studio, and Impacts X are web applications.
Native AppsYes — IXO Mobile and Jambo Wallet ship as native mobile apps.
TermsFree/open to build against (Apache-2.0 SDKs/CosmWasm contracts); on-chain transactions incur standard Cosmos SDK gas fees in IXO.
FundsNot confirmed in the sources reviewed — no specific raise/grant figures found.
Based OnCosmos SDK, CometBFT/Tendermint consensus, IBC (Impact Hub); Matrix Protocol (IXO Matrix); W3C DIDs and Verifiable Credentials (identity layer); Giza zero-knowledge ML (WISP oracle).
P2P ArchitectureValidator-run Cosmos SDK Layer-1 (BFT consensus among staked validators, not end-user-run nodes) for Impact Hub; IXO Matrix adds genuine federation — independently-hosted Matrix homeservers interoperate, each room addressable as a DID on Impact Hub.
Development Tools@ixo/impactxclient-sdk and @ixo/matrixclient-sdk (TypeScript SDKs); CosmWasm smart-contract support; MCP servers for agentic/AI integration.
Deployment OptionsPublic mainnet (Impact Hub, chain-id ixo-5) and testnet; IXO Matrix is self-hostable on independent servers; client apps are hosted (Portal, Studio, Impacts X) or distributed via app stores (Mobile, Jambo Wallet).
Authentication & IdentityIXO system identifiers as W3C-aligned DIDs, with Verifiable Credentials for claims/authorization; a decentralized domain registry resolves digital-twin identifiers.
Storage ModelOn-chain (Impact Hub, Cosmos SDK state) for entities/claims/credentials/tokens; off-chain federated (IXO Matrix, self-hostable rooms) for messaging/data, cross-linked via DID resolution.
InteroperabilityIBC for interchain transfers (Impact Hub is IBC-connected); Matrix Protocol federation for IXO Matrix; W3C DID/Verifiable Credential standards for identity interoperability beyond the IXO ecosystem.
Social GraphNot a primary feature — coordination happens through Impact Hub entities/claims and IXO Matrix rooms/DIDs rather than an explicit social graph.
