IONIX AI CHAIN Gains Attention as Solana Nears $100

As Solana's price nears $100 in mid-September 2026, investors are looking for alternatives to established chains. One project gaining attention is IONIX AI CHAIN, an AI-native Layer-1 blockchain that combines Proof-of-Stake security with Directed Acyclic Graph elements.

The project aims to achieve throughput above 500,000 transactions per second and near-zero fees of $0.0005, while supporting on-chain AI applications. Its Quantum AI Consensus design places artificial intelligence at the core of its consensus process.

IONIX CHAIN's presale is ongoing, with over $6.7 million raised towards a target of $11 million. The token has advanced through successive stages, reaching prices in the mid-$0.02 to mid-$0.03 range. Allocation is broken down across public presale, treasury, and other components.

The project has undergone security audits from CertiK and SolidProof, reporting scores around 90/100 and 85/100 respectively. Cross-chain bridges and a testnet rollout are planned for later in 2026, with mainnet milestones to follow.
