Please note that this plan can change depending on future revenues and market trends. Nonetheless, you can consider it as the path we’d like to follow with some of the ideas that we have in mind.

Of course, we will work daily to improve ICON visibility in media and among our different partners.

In December, we will have several announcements and some giveaways where you will be able to earn ICX, so stay tuned on our Twitter. 🚀

ICON EUROPE 🇪🇺

The first thing we will focus on for the next few months will be to finish the creation of ICON Europe and to kickstart the various planned initiatives with the other European P-Reps.

ICON Europe is a collaboration between European P-Reps that will strengthen the ICON community as a whole and especially in the European region. Most notably, it will act as a unified organization to fund community projects in the ecosystem (ICON events, Dapp, Blockexplorer…).

Right now, we are finalizing the decentralized treasury, and we are working on the project’s funding application form, as well as on a framework for due diligence.

The 1st Application period should open at the beginning of January 2020.

GUIDE TRANSLATIONS 📚

Then, we plan to work on building additional guides & resources for the ICON community, as well as making the existing ones more accessible to all.

As a first step, we will be launching a bounty program incentivizing translations of our existing guides and articles into other languages. Through this bounty program, the ICON community members will be able to contribute to the building of the ecosystem, and also earn additional ICX for their work and involvement.

This bounty program should open very soon, and we hope we will have finished the translations of our content and step by step guides in significant languages (Chinese, Arabic, Korean, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese…) by the beginning of April 2020. Then, we may also launch other bounty programs for videos or other content.

This should improve the visibility of ICON and help future and/or current ICON holders to find documentation in their languages.

ICON DASHBOARD 💻

In Q3 2020, we hope that we will be able to finalize the implementation of ICON (ICX) into our multi-asset dashboard.

Through this multi-asset dashboard, our voters will be able to track their rewards, see the I-Score they have claimed so far, and how much I-Score they might be able to earn in the future. In the long term, we also want people to be able to participate in protocol governance and enjoy tax reports directly in the dashboard.

One of the other goals we have is to make it mobile-friendly, so you’ll be able to check your rewards when & how you want!

ICON MOOC 👨‍🏫

In Q3 2021, we plan to release our first ICON MOOC, which will take the form of text and video courses. We believe that the success of ICON depends on its capacity to onboard and train a large community of developers. While Hackathons are a good thing (and we will organize some), we think that creating online classes explaining how to code simple Dapps or run nodes on ICON will be very helpful in reaching a maximum of potential new Iconists.

We welcome any ideas in regards to the stuff you would like to learn about ICON, and we would love to involve some community members in building these content. If you want to get involved, please reach out to us.

ICON DAPP 🎰

We also have the plan to build the first staking lottery Dapp on ICON. The ICON token holders who want to take their chance at potentially winning extra ICX will be able to delegate their voting power to a smart-contract. They will acquire proportional lottery tickets to earn all the staking rewards from the pool potentially. More details to be announced in a separate article next week 😄, stay tuned 🚀.

We plan to launch this Dapp in 2021, leaving us enough time for development, testing, and marketing. Similar products have been developed on other networks, and we found them impressive as it helps to democratize the staking process through gamification.

ICON GLOBAL AMBASSADORS 🌐

In Q3–2022, we plan to launch an extensive ambassador program across the globe, where current and new Iconists will be incentivized to spread the word about ICON, create local events, meetups, courses, and build the local ecosystem.
