ICON (ICX)

ICON ICXICON is a blockchain tech and network framework built to allow independent blockchains to interact with each other, and to be unlocked from a single user. Icon supports the use of a cryptocurrency token called ICX as a token for the exchange of value between the ICON network and other blockchains. Icon is a south Korean based company, which develops blockchain technology, accompanied by a cryptocurrency token, called ICX. ICON is the first of its kind in the world, and the only one of it’s kind.

Hyperconnecting The World

The company is billing itself as an interconnected blockchain network that allows participants in decentralized systems to converge on a central point. This is done by connecting communities to other communities via ICON Republic Citizen Nodes, and then to each other via the ICON network.

Although blockchains are most commonly associated with cryptocurrencies, enthusiasts have pointed to other areas where the technology is applicable. In addition to the use of blockchain technology, exchange information can be added to blockchains, although adding any type may not be cost – effective.

The transactions involved in the exchange of information, such as the payment of a credit card or a bank account, could be tokenized. Connecting different blockchains is not possible; by default, each blockchain is managed by a particular network and is “managed” by that particular blockchain.

Centralized payment systems like Visa require businesses to adhere to a set of policies and guidelines they have developed for their business models. By allowing individuals and communities to hold control of their own policies, ICON looks to reduce any potential friction points in adoption. Each community is connected to the ICON Network through a decentralized exchange that allows for a verified ledger to be shared between communities within the network and between the communities outside of the networks. If a third party can reduce transaction costs, this reduces the need for a central authority, such as a bank or a financial institution, or even a government agency.

 

Network Of Nodes For Governance

ICON are considered for communities that are part of a single governance system, followed by all network nodes. ICON’s can be considered in conjunction with other governance systems such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano. ICON considers a community as a network of nodes that follows a single governance system, with a central authority and a set of rules for governance.

Banks, businesses, hospitals, schools, and governments are all interested in the future of the cryptocurrency and its potential for economic growth. Community can have a positive impact on the health and well – being of its citizens, its economy, and its environment. Their approach varies in terms of how Community Nodes are managed, their approach to decision – making, and their governance structure. Some communities, such as Bitcoin, will take a consensus – driven approach, while a few communities such the financial institutions will follow a hierarchical approach.

We refer to our decision maker as a Community Representatives, while they also have a role in how our community interacts with ICON Republic. This vote by Community Representatives determines the ICON Republic’s governance, but the governance of separate communities themselves is not determined by the actions of the the ICON Republic. ICON Republic can participate in the ICON Republic, but they do not have voting rights, and they can not vote for or against the President of the Republic. ICON uses the concept of a loopchain to connect the community that is part of the ICON Republic to the core of its core network.

Each of the communities, referred to as a consortium, determines a common set of rules which allow various blockchains to work together.

These communities, or blockchains, are linked together under the umbrella of the blockchain ICON Republic, referred to as the nexus. The rules across how the independent blockchains interact with the nexus and how you interact are called the Blockchain Transmission Protocol ( BTP ). For example, a blockchain consortium of banks creates a smart contract that authenticates the transactions between a bank and a third party, such as a credit card company. After both parties of the smart contract adjust, the transaction is added to the community’s blockchain for all parties to adjust to.
