In our article last week we announced the development of our community governance tool on ICON. We wanted a tool to conduct polls regarding topics of ICON Europe. A week later, today, we want to inform you that our first version is online now on TestNet! Go take a look at it, and tell us what you think!

So how do you use the dApp? Well, for actually voting you need an ICONex wallet with some TestNet ICX in it (they’re free) to pay the transaction fee, but you don’t need anything to just look at the polls. To switch your ICONex wallet app from MainNet to TestNet, take a look at the official guide and follow the steps.

If you don’t have any TestNet coins yet, you need to request them. Unfortunately, there isn’t an official TestNet faucet, and the only way right now to get coins is by messaging the official ICON or ICON developer telegram chat. Another way is to request TestNet ICX via one of their other public relations channels. Just write them a message that you’d like to receive TestNet coins (on YEOUIDO TestNet) and your wallet address. Typically people will send you some coins within a day, often within 5 minutes.

You received the TestNet coins? Yay! Finally you’re able to explore the wide world of ICON TestNet dApps, which our polling dApp is also part of at the moment.

Usage

You can open the listed polls by clicking on them. This way, an overlay view opens, in which you can see all possible answers or candidates for this specific poll.
