Hello ICONists!

It is an exciting time for the ICON network as pre-voting is finally underway and we at Gilga Capital are excited to announce that we are participating! We encourage you to look for and add us to your voting list.

Why Vote for Gilga?

With many great teams available, you may be wondering why you should vote for Gilga. The reason is clear- we will work hard to provide growth for the ICON network

We are very active in the Toronto blockchain ecosystem — one of the largest hubs for blockchain technology in the world. We have been bringing ICON to this new geography by increasing its exposure among developers, projects, and the most prominent communities in the space including AION, those involved with the Ethereum project, and many others. As a P-rep we can not only provide all that other candidates promise as far as block verification and production (governance) is concerned, but even more. Our main activities have been and will continue to be:

Directing investment and deal flow , diverting projects towards ICON by connecting with developers and financiers through the launch of a Toronto ICX_Station

, diverting projects towards ICON by connecting with developers and financiers through the launch of a Toronto ICX_Station Marketing through meetup events and university hackathons, leveraging our network

through meetup events and university hackathons, leveraging our network Advising and supporting projects looking to launch on ICON. This is done by making business model recommendations, discussing next steps, editing investor pitch decks, making referrals, and much more.

What are P-reps?

P-Reps are organizations, individuals, companies, and/or entities that, once voted in by the those who stake their ICX and vote, are to represent the best interests of everyone in the ICON network. Most P-Reps are incentivized by the representative award and the rewards gained from block production and verification, but others like Gilga, have had a long-standing relationship with ICON and truly believe in the mandate of hyper connecting the world and establishing a working decentralized ecosystem.

How do I vote?

To vote you must first stake ICX in the ICONex wallet. Click on whichever wallet account you wish to use then click on “Stake”. Here you will select the amount of ICX you wish to stake. Once this is completed you can delegate your ICX. Click on vote and you will be taken to a menu where you can select up to 10 candidates to vote for. By clicking on the “plus” sign to the left of their name you can add them to your voting roster. Once they are in this selection you can delegate as much or as little ICX to them as you wish. This is how you earn rewards and contribute to the network!

What’s next?

After the pre-voting period, the on-chain election will be held in September. After that, the P-reps will be elected and will attend the genesis summit in the fourth quarter of 2019. We hope you enjoyed this brief breakdown and we greatly appreciate your support!
