IONIX AI Chain Seeks $11 Million in Presale Amid Growing Interest in AI-Powered Blockchain

The IONIX AI CHAIN is positioning itself as the world's first AI-powered Layer-1 blockchain, with its core technical claim centered on Quantum AI Consensus, a hybrid approach that combines elements of Proof-of-Stake with Directed Acyclic Graph structures.

This design aims to target more than 500,000 transactions per second with near-zero fees and sub-second finality, which is particularly appealing in a market where older networks struggle under heavy DeFi or AI workloads.

As of early September 2026, the public presale has raised roughly $6.7 to $6.9 million toward a target near $11 million, with recent coverage placing the native token $IONX in advanced stages with pricing in the mid-$0.02 to mid-$0.03 dollar range.

The project's roadmap lists testnet rollout, open-source code release, and cross-chain bridges in the later part of 2026, with mainnet and public beta targeted thereafter, along with staking activation and expanded DeFi and AI service integrations.
