ICON’s Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP) is a trustless and chain-agnostic interoperability solution that supports generic smart contract calls between connected blockchains. ICON offers a unique high-performance smart contract execution environment powered by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that is ideal for developing minimal-latency cross-chain dApps. The ICON blockchain is governed by validators elected through the network’s ICX staking and delegation mechanism.https://icon.community/learn/icx/Sun, 06 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://icon.community/learn/icx/During the initial phase of the ICON project, ICX was an ERC-20 token that was used to bootstrap development of the ICON network. In mid-2018, following the launch of the ICON mainnet, a token swap was performed, enabling holders of the ERC-20 ICX to exchange for native ICX, which now powers the economy and governance of the ICON blockchain. What Is ICX Used For? ICX has a variety of use cases from governance of the ICON blockchain to DeFi collateral.https://icon.community/learn/icon-governance/Sat, 05 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://icon.community/learn/icon-governance/ICON is a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) network, which means a majority of stakeholders delegate their share of the network – in this case, ICX – to registered validators that produce blocks and participate in governance. ICON’s DPoS consensus lets non-technical stakeholders benefit from staking without having to set up a node or join a staking pool. On ICON, ICX holders can stake and delegate ICX to validators – entities that have registered to participate in governing the ICON blockchain.https://icon.community/learn/icon-icx-tokenomics-a6d269c8908/Fri, 04 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://icon.community/learn/icon-icx-tokenomics-a6d269c8908/ICON (ICX) Tokenomics have been improved with IISS 3.1. Recently, ICON validators unanimously passed Network Proposal #14, which implemented IISS 3.1, a new and more sustainable tokenomic framework for ICX and the ICON ecosystem. Let’s take a look at some of the changes implemented as part of IISS 3.1 and how they compare to the old model. Inflation Previously, inflation was set not by design but by the combination of the amount of rewards issued to those staking ICX and the rewards issued to block producers (validators).https://icon.community/learn/cps/Thu, 03 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://icon.community/learn/cps/ICON’s Contribution Proposal System (CPS) is a decentralized grant program operated by validators on the ICON network.

BTP is chain-agnostic, which means it can be integrated with any smart contract-enabled blockchain, and does not require connected chains to be built with a common framework or SDK. BTP is a trustless and decentralized bridging solution because it derives security from the source and destination blockchains instead of a trusted bridge operator. Lastly, BTP supports generic messaging between smart contracts, which means it can be used for a variety of complex use cases beyond basic token swaps.https://icon.community/glossary/voting/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://icon.community/glossary/voting/In a general context, tallying the preferences of a userbase in order to make a decision.

Compatible with all existing and future cross-chain protocols, xCall completes the modular blockchain stack by providing dApps with a customizable interoperability component. It enables developers to build cross chain dApps with a single interface, regardless of which interoperability protocol is chosen. xCall standardizes cross chain communication for developers so that once a dApp is configured to receive messages from one xCall-connected chain, it can receive messages from any xCall-connected chain.https://icon.community/ecosystem/exchange/xt-com/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://icon.community/ecosystem/exchange/xt-com/https://icon.community/glossary/yellowpaper/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://icon.community/glossary/yellowpaper/Non-peer-reviewed, technical explanation of protocols or explanationshttps://icon.community/ecosystem/exchange/zt/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://icon.community/ecosystem/exchange/zt/
