Today, officially, the Genesis Block of the ICON Mainnet 1.0 has been generated! The maintenance check of ICX’s Mainnet has been completed.

Even though the Mainnet launch was scheduled for late 2017, more specifically, the 4th quarter, it’s still great news that it has been completed within early January 2018, thus jumping over the next stepping stone and allowing more development to be made on the remaining objectives.

Even though we haven’t reached the big goal of the official opening of the ICON Mainnet for ICX Wallet, we can rest assured progress is being made and tests are being run, as well as network monitoring to make sure everything is as it should.

The ICON team has announced that even though they cannot show any dApp progress, as of yet, we can be sure the team is hard at work to provide help for dApp developer teams, since these can now be fully developed on top of this network.

Moreover, the team has confirmed the ICX Wallet is close to being done and released on the Chrome Web store, so definitely stay in check for that.

And to finish off, the team has confirmed that more than 5 teams will be presenting their projects at the ICON Annual Summit: The Genesis.

Stay tuned as the 1st ICON Annual Summit, called “The Genesis” will be happening pretty soon, on January 31st.
