ICON is a decentralized network where other different blockchains interact with each other without any intermediaries. This platform is quoted as the network for blockchains connecting independent networks.
ICON has been developed with an architectural design called the Loop-Fault Tolerance consensus which ensures smooth transactions within networks
Integrating and working with other companies such as ChainLink, further expands the interoperability of the ICON network. Not to mention, ICONLOOP plays a big role in expanding the ICON community. ICON’s partnership goal with MyID Alliance and Saramin is to develop a blockchain-based digital ID and verification system to directly identify the credentials people use to apply.
ICON’s key focus is to improve upon its technology and security features of the network. They seek to accomplish block recovery, P-Rep Private Key Dualizing just to mention a few.
ICON is pursuing to improve its documentation and commentary between codes for an enhanced level of open-source.
Better incentives governance and funding mechanisms for ICONists contribution to the network.
Blockchain Transmission Protocol: This allows the transfer of value and information between different blockchains. Basically, more interoperability. These blockchains will help users to interconnect and communicate via ICON Network.
Sidechain: Improving Scalability and implementing interchain and governance to create the true ICON Republic. This sidechain will be used by external DApps developers as an execution environment to focus more on improving the system. It is a separate world that does not affect the main chain and helps the main icon network to focus more on interchain and governance transactions.
