ICON
The ICON project is building one of the largest decentralized networks in the world and aims for "Hyperconnecting the World".
About ICON
ICON is a high performance 3rd generation blockchain protocol that supports interoperability. It is one of the largest blockchain networks in the world and connects institutions in major industries like banking, media, healthcare, electronics, insurance and gaming.
Currently more than 100 full time employees are working on the project, making ICON one of the largest teams in the blockchain space. Over the past years ICON has established a large network of partners and has created a few leading initiatives.
Our Contribution
We would like to see communities be freed and fully connected. Our contribution to reach that goal and to support the ICON ecosystem encompasses four major areas.
COMMUNITY
Each ecosystem is only as strong as its community.
CONSULTING
Bridging the gap between real businesses and the blockchain world.
DEVELOPMENT
Building dApps, network services and developer tools.
INVESTING
Supporting the ecosystem by allocating company funds to it.
Currently we are working on several projects on the ICON Blockchain.
Our aim is to give everyday our best to push the ecosystem one step ahead.
And Much More...
"We think in this way we provide value for the whole ICON ecosystem and support it the best we can on it's way to create a hyperconnected world."
Do you think the same? If you like what we do, we would appreciate your votes.
Team
At block42 we unite more than 10 people working towards our goal of reaching the moon.
Although all our work for the ICON ecosystem is driven by four key players, everyone in the team supports the growth of the ICON network with different skills.
Our Motivation
Our motivation to support the ICON network can be grouped into 3 important reasons.
SUCCESS: We are convinced about ICON's success. As we are already part of the network since the ICO, we are still strong believers in the project. We’ve witnessed the commitment of ICON’s community and the amazing progress the team makes. ICON plays no “bullshit bingo”. Instead, real customer needs are addressed by interconnecting blockchain communities.
SUCCESS
AWARENESS: An ecosystem is only as strong as its community. A hyperconnected world can only be realized if a certain number of people understand, want and contribute from/to the ecosystem. ICON’s community in the Asian region is already quite strong. In our experience, Europe lags behind. Our promise as a P-Rep: We will change that!
AWARENESS
DECENTRALIZATION: ICON’s approach of decentralization brought us to become a P-Rep candidate. The ICON foundation proved their interest in a long lasting success of the ecosystem by giving away power. Power from one institution towards the community. In our opinion, decentralized indirect democracy is the way to go for building a global ecosystem. ICON perfectly designed this approach by following its Delegated Proof of Contribution (DPoC) consensus algorithm.

PUBLIC REPRESENTATIVE (P-REP)

Balance is the key to maintain anything healthy.
Everything, even water is toxic in large doses. Decentralization brings everyone together and makes them balance in the middle with anyone being able to participate.
ICON is one of the leading projects that implemented on-chain governance, this allows many viewpoints to find balance and bring the best solutions on the issues that the blockchain industry is facing when trying to achieve global adoption.
