Greetings from the ICON Team!

The third “Blockchain Project Demo Day — New Kids on the Block(chain)”, sponsored by ICON, was held on June 29th in D.Camp Seoul.

Refer to the links below for detailed information about the past New Kids on the Block(chain) events (1st event click here / 2nd event click here)

In this event, JH Kim (CEO of theloop), HS Kim (CIO of #Hashed), HS Oh (Partner of Deblock), and JH Lee(Director of Unblock) attended the event and participated in a panel discussion.

The event started with a presentation and Q&A session led by 4 projects (ASTERA, Yumerium, TEMCO, Toonist) that have passed the screening stage.

Presentation Teams

Project #1 : TEMCO — Logistics

A blockchain-based logistics platform that provides companies with data analysis tools for real-time monitoring of the supply chain. End-users will also feel more comfortable about their purchase knowing they can transparently track its history.

Project #2 : Toonist — Digital Content

A DApp that would create a store where anyone can buy digital content using Ethereum. It transparently manages the distribution of revenue between suppliers and publishers through the use of smart contracts.

Project #3 — ASTERA — Biometric Data

A biometric data marketplace built using blockchain technology. Users can submit their biometric data by using the smart scale to measure health condition to the marketplace and be compensated accordingly by researchers. This could result in cheaper, more affordable healthcare as patients can sell the data gathered for R&D purposes.

Project #4 : Yumerium — Gaming

A platform built for gamers that incentivizes playing, reviewing and sharing the game with friends. It would be offered on PC, mobile and tablet platforms. All data and rewards would be tracked using blockchain technology.

Each presentation was followed by a Q&A session from the panel. The winner of the second blockchain demo day went to ASTERA. ASTERA was rewarded with ICX worth 3mil KRW (app. 3,000 USD)

There was a networking session shortly after the award ceremony, bringing everybody together to celebrate another successful blockchain demo day.

The competition is growing and new projects are applying for the demo day event. “New Kids on the Block(chain)” will be held every month. We’re looking forward to next month’s event, as we hope this demo day continues to grow the ICON ecosystem.

Thank you,
