$IONX Presale Raises Over $6 Million as Ionix AI Chain Aims for High-Throughput Network
The Ionix AI Chain is a leading example of an AI-native Layer-1 blockchain currently in public presale. It positions itself as a high-throughput network with low fees, targeting over 500,000 transactions per second and near-zero fees.
The project's native token, $IONX, will pay for gas, support staking, enable governance votes, and provide access to planned AI services once the chain is operational. As of recent public updates in 2026, the staged presale has raised roughly 6.7 to 6.9 million dollars toward a target near 11 million dollars, placing progress in the high-seventies percent range.
The Ionix Chain roadmap outlines a sequence that many early-stage projects follow, including concept and prototype work, whitepaper finalization, team assembly, public presale, testnet activity, mainnet launch, cross-chain bridges to major ecosystems, developer tools, and expanded DeFi and AI application support. The project materials cite a projected listing range of 2 to 5 dollars on exchange platforms in the second quarter of 2026.
