💱 The Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP) is coming to @helloiconworld ($ICX) and we are all excited. Imagine being able to send all your favorite tokens to all your favorite (DeFi & NFT) platforms!
No barriers? No bridges? 🤔
I'm trying to understand and made this thread 👇
@helloiconworld 💱 1/7:
Will I just be able to randomly send $ETH to a @binance Smart Chain address, and how does $ICX fit in here?
Let's start at the beginning 💭 First of all: BTP compatible transactions must include sender, recipient, service name, serial number, and service data.
@helloiconworld@binance 💱 2/7:
Next, participating blockchains must implement three components through Smart Contracts:
👂 BSH (service handler)
🔑 BMV (message verifier)
💳 BMC (message center)
I believe these three BTP components are relatively easy to implement! They communicate as follows:
@helloiconworld@binance 💱 3/7:
Let's say Dave sends some tokens cross-chain... His wallet manager Hana from @ReliantNode will include sender, recipient, service name, serial number, and service data (?) 😁. As the transaction is posted, the 👂BSH picks up the required BTP data from his blockchain 1.
@helloiconworld@binance@ReliantNode 💱 4/7:
The 👂BSH passes the data to the 💳BMC, which then reads the BTP data, verifies it and passes it to $ICX Relay (Relay = application operating independent of blockchains). This $ICX relay seems to float in between the blockchains that are communicating with eachother.
@helloiconworld@binance@ReliantNode 💱 5/7:
$ICX Relay now has the essential and verified data from blockchain 1, and passes it on to the 💳BMC on blockchain 2. The data then flows through the 🔑BMV, which decodes the information, and on to the 👂BSH, which communicates the BTP transaction data to blockchain 2.
@helloiconworld@binance@ReliantNode 💱 6/7: Again
Blockchain 1: Dave makes transaction ➡️ 👂BSH ➡️ 💳BMC ➡️ $ICX Relay application
Blockchain 2: $ICX Relay application ➡️ 💳BMC ➡️ 🔑BMV ➡️ 👂BSH ➡️ transaction completed.
😬 NOTE: Blockchains that do not support smart contracts will only be able to SEND through BTP.
@helloiconworld@binance@ReliantNode 💱 7/7: Correct me if I'm wrong!
For BTP to function, participating blockchains MUST implement BTP components.
Wallet managers + Exchanges MUST send along all the right information with transactions...

So about a week ago, @helloiconworld announced a 'Strategic Investment in Bit2Me'. Sounds good of course, but what does this achieve?
Who is @bit2me and why are they launching their B2M Token within 10 days? This one is exciting.. This one is for the "wen marketing" crowd!

@helloiconworld@bit2me 🇪🇸 1/6: Bit2Me Origin
Bit2Me is a Spain based company which focusses on encouraging cryptocurrency adoption around the world. This sounds sooo vague, yet Bit2Me has been a profitable company since its inception in 2014! More impressive Bit2Me facts down below:
@helloiconworld@bit2me 📈 2/6: Bit2Me Growth
Revenues have grown by 100% from 2017 to 2019, and by 150% in 2020.
Bit2Me's transaction volume has grown exponentially, achieving a year-on-year growth of 1,200% in 2020 and a total transaction volume that has exceeded €1 billion.
$ICE blockchain.. 1:1 airdrop for $ICX holders.. EVM & eWASM compatibility..
What does all of this mean? 🤷♂️
I found a lot of information on the @helloiconworld Medium page: tinyurl.com/4k8nv2ra and I enjoy putting it into my own words for followers to read!
Thread'o'clock 🕰️👇
@helloiconworld 🧊 1/5: ICE Blockchain
As $ICX and the ICON Blockchain inch closer to achieving the dream of interoperability, it seems like the ICON Foundation at @helloiconworld is looking further than that. "A new blockchain will bring about a new application hub for the ICON ecosystem."
@helloiconworld 🧊 2/5: Harmony
As $ICE Blockchain will be focussed on becoming the main application layer, the current ICON network continues to optimize for BTP and subsequently bright interoperability future. ICON Foundation: "Use BTP ... it is the most secure and decentralized on the market"
