Hello ICONists,

What an action packed month May has been. If you’re half as excited as we are then brace yourself, the decentralisation of ICON is almost here! This months highlight for us has to be ICONation participating in the first phase of the P-Rep TestNet. Everything has gone fantastic and we’re pleased to report that we have had a fully functional decentralised ICON network running on TestNet.

As well as our TestNet adventures this month, we have had immense fun producing our ICONation team introduction video. You may remember last month we hinted that we hired a professional from within the ICON community to help take our video to the next level. We were a little coy about who was working on it at the time, but now it is our pleasure to officially say a big thanks to David Sail of Mineable.com for his fantastic work! If you missed it be sure to check it out on YouTube.

The month of May for ICONation has also been abuzz with team members building and producing resources for the ICON community. Of particular note this month we have been teaming up with ICON to produce online development courses aimed at teaching everyday ICONists how to get started on their programming adventures with Python and ICON. More to come on that next month. Our June roadmap update (below) also reflects the progress made on community tools Aegis (our citizen node) and Svalinn v.2 (offline desktop wallet). We are also hard at work as always managing our community channels from Telegram to Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook.
