IONIX AI CHAIN Presale Gains Momentum with $6.7M Raised

In the current market environment where Ethereum has been trading sideways near $2,000, investors are seeking opportunities beyond established Layer-1s. IONIX AI CHAIN, an early-stage AI-native Layer-1 blockchain, is gaining attention as a promising presale project.

As of mid-September 2026, the presale has raised around $6.7 million to $6.9 million toward its target of nearly $11 million, representing approximately 75% of its fundraising goal. The project's team describes a Quantum AI Consensus mechanism that combines elements of Proof-of-Stake with directed acyclic graph architecture to achieve over 500,000 transactions per second, sub-second finality, and fees near $0.0005.

The presale offers staged pricing, transparent token allocation, reported third-party audits from CertiK and SolidProof, and a low minimum entry point, making it accessible to newer American participants. The project emphasizes holder-facing features once the network is live, including staking with around 12% APY, gas-fee revenue sharing, an AI marketplace, and cross-chain bridges.
