In this blog series we would like to keep you regularly updated about our latest contributions to the ICON ecosystem. So let’s have a look what happened between September 7th and 19th.

Voting dApp

In the last couple of weeks our dev team put great effort in publishing the first version of an on-chain voting dApp. We gonna use it as a governance tool for collecting the sentiment of European ICONists. At ICON Europe this will help us to act more community-driven. Find out more about the dApp in a blog post written by Paul Plessing.

Please remember: this is just the first version. We’re happy to get feedback and improve the dApp continuously.

ICON Europe AMA

On September 11th we conducted our first ICON Europe Ask Me Anything session. We gave the community the chance to ask every ICON Europe member questions regarding any topic. The AMA officially ended already, but can still read all posts following this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/helloicon/comments/d00y6j/announcing_icon_europe_community_ama_wednesday/

P-Rep voting

There’re only a few days left until the Pre-voting ends on September, 24th. The top 22 applicants reached the obligatory 1.6m votes — decentralization would be possible!

On the other hand, there is still a lot of unused voting power. Only about 15% of all ICX (total supply) are even staked. Furthermore, over 1.6m ICX are staked but not used for the voting. Enough voting power to elect another P-rep in the top 22.

Regarding block42’s application we’re glad to see more than 400k additional votes we received in the last couple of days, which results in total votes of over 2.1m. That’s awesome and encourages us to continue our way of contributing to ICON!

ICON P-Rep Network Setup

We’re taking actively part in ICON’s TestNet simulating the process of switching to real decentralization provided by the P-Reps. You can find more about our network setup in our Github repo: https://github.com/block42-blockchain-company/icon-prep-network-setup
