Overview
IOG News is the official newsroom of Input Output, the engineering firm that builds the Cardano and Midnight blockchains. It gathers the company's announcements, long-form essays, event recaps, and peer-reviewed research papers in one browsable feed1. A companion research library sits alongside the news, so a reader can jump from a plain-language update to the academic paper behind it2.
Readers browse IOG News by content type, topic, or author. Blog posts sit next to press releases, video interviews, event write-ups, and thought-leadership pieces, and each carries topic tags such as proof of stake, smart contracts, or cryptography that act as filters1. The same feed also surfaces a curated rail of outside coverage from publications like CoinDesk, so the newsroom doubles as a running record of how the wider press reports on the two chains.
Key Features
- One feed for news and research. Company announcements, essays, and event coverage live in the same place as the academic papers behind them, filtered by type so readers pick their depth1.
- Filter by topic or author. Every post is tagged by subject and byline, so a reader can follow a single researcher or a single theme across years of writing1.
- Peer-reviewed paper library. A companion index holds the research papers that underpin Cardano and Midnight, each listing its authors and the academic venue it was presented at2.
- Recurring interview and tracker series. Ongoing formats such as the Block//45 video interviews and development trackers give regular, structured updates on specific projects1.
- Outside coverage in one place. A curated rail links to how third-party publications report on the two chains, alongside the company's own posts.
What to Expect
A visitor to IOG News lands on a feed of the newest posts, with filters down the side for content type, topic, and author. Picking Press Releases, Research Video, or Events narrows the list; picking an author name pulls up everything that person has written. Headlines carry a date and a short summary, and each post opens to the full article or embedded video.
Anyone wanting the underlying science can switch to the paper library, where entries name their authors and the conference or journal that published them2. Casual readers get plain-English updates on what Input Output is shipping; researchers and developers get direct links to the formal work3. The tone ranges from short company news to dense academic writing, so the filters do the work of matching a reader to the right depth.
