Hello, crypto fans and enthusiasts! It’s time we updated you on the latest news from the vigorous and progressive ICON world! ICON keeps growing and there is a lot of exciting news to spread around!

The number of validators grew to 100! Wallet growth remained consistent in the 4–5% range week over week. Approximately 41% of circulating ICX supply remains staked providing about 18% annualized interest showing strong confidence from the community.

This year is surely going to bring a great number of creative projects including new developments and collaborations! Stay tuned!

Let’s focus on the key highlights of the ICON Project!

Firstly, check out a new MyID app “VisitMe” which works on the ICON public chain and is available for iOS and Android. The app facilitates the process of visiting an office. After confirming your personal details, the service sends you an invitation and a QR code through the app. The only thing you have to do when you arrive at the destination is to show your QR to the scanner at the door.

Secondly, the team released a stability upgrade to the protocol.

What’s more, ICX Station Announces the beta launch of ICON Vote, a communication platform for P-reps. It makes it easier for P-Reps to interact directly with their supporters through on-chain votes accessible only to their voter base. P-Reps utilizing ICON Vote will offer their supporters a greater voice in governance, funding decisions, and other deliverables.

Another great news! ICONLOOP signed a MoU with Saramin, Korea’s leading job placement platform, to collaborate in building a blockchain-based digital ID and authentication ecosystem. The purpose of the MoU is to increase Saramin’s customer experience and value through ICONLOOP’s blockchain certificate issuance and management service ‘broof’ and its digital identity platform ‘MyID’.

Moreover, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) issued diplomas, created by ICONLOOP’s blockchain-based certification service “broof”, to over 8 hundred students. POSTECH’s decision marks the first time a South Korean university has issued a blockchain-based diploma to an entire graduating class!
