ICON has been running main-net based on its built-in nodes, and this year external nodes will turn into public blockchain. According to the Foundation, the nodes that operate ICON Networks are divided into P-Rep and C-Rep. A P-Rep is a node representing ICON network as a whole, and a C-Rep is a node representing a community. P-Reps and C-Reps consist of 22 representatives for each and will be elected by elections.
