In a few hours, the snapshot for the $ICY and $ICZ airdrops will occur.
🪂 These airdrops have undoubtedly introduced many opportunists to ICON, which is great!
But, if you're thinking of leaving after the snapshot.. I'd like to convince you to stick around.

We'll be kicking off 2022 with a BANG 💥 Lots of announcements in the pipeline in January alone!
👉 2022 is the year we're going ALL-IN to bring adoption for Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP), the most decentralized interoperability solution the world has to offer.
3/
👀 Let's take a sneak peak at one of the many announcements:
💸 ICON is launching a massive BTP Incentive Program 💸
More details to come...
4/
While many chains compete for users and TVL, ICON is designed to connect and coexist with other chains 🤝
🌐 BTP partners directly benefit with genuine transactions on their own network creating a WIN-WIN scenario. This is one reason BTP can and will scale!
I believe they will have real value on their own, similar to other substrate chains. Their success will also continue to give $ICX more value.
👆 On top of that, the WIN-WIN scenario with BTP unlocks even more value for both chains!

NFTs are HOT, but (believe it or not) just getting started.
🖼️🌐 NFT interoperability has barely begun!
ICON’s BTP will power NFT interoperability. Believe me, Korea is the mecca of the gaming industry and we're just getting warmed up there..

ICON is one of very few 2017 "ICO coins" that's still kicking and thriving 🦾
This is because we're building an infrastructure that will last for generations. ICON is fully self-sustainable with CPS 💰 Not many crypto projects can say this.
Congrats to ICONLOOP w the launch of ‘Shinhan KYC Authentication’ on Zzeung app. Many of you don’t know much about banking + ID system in Korea so I’ll explain in here. Then you’ll know why this news has caught the entire country’s attention.
2/ @markusjayvc is not wrong here, but only partially right. Many of you see this launch impacting 1 bank + customers using SOL app. This is MUCH MUCH MORE than that. This directly impacts the way EVERY KOREAN CITIZEN interacts w the digital world.
3/ In simplest terms, ICONLOOP + Shinhan just launched a DIGITAL ID card. Shinhan verifies if the user is a real person (performs KYC) and issues this ID. This ID is stored in the user’s mobile phone inside Zzeung app. There’s just 1 real copy like your passport or DL.
1/ First, I’d like to congratulate @extendjh and ICONLOOP team for this exciting MyID launch. MILLIONS of ppl will interact with the ICON public network thru this partnership w Jeju Gov't alone. Here’s the official Korean announcement directly from Jeju.
2/ This is real-world use and the level of mass adoption we’ve been aiming for. 15M ppl visit Jeju annually. CJU(Jeju)-GMP(Seoul) is the busiest domestic route in the ENTIRE world. FYI 15M is 30% of Korea's pop and larger than the ENTIRE Seoul pop.
3/ It’s important to note that ALL public chains today have tech limitations for enterprise use. It’s rare for enterprises to go all-in on a new tech. ICON public chain is partially used for this Jeju project which is an enormous progress. THIS IS GLASS HALF FULL FOR NOW, FOLKS.
First of all, there is no excuse for mistakes. Period. We take full responsibility for this and cover any damage.
2/ It’s more important to learn from this incident. Bugs are part of dev process. We’ve recently seen that even big co’s like Twitter w more engineers + resources make mistakes. The truth is mistakes are going be made. It’s inevitable. The Q is how do you prep to minimize risks.
3/ At ICON, we try to balance speed (shipping codes) based on our risk assessment. In other words, we prefer to move fast and break things if we can afford it. Sometimes, learning by breaking is cheaper than spending hours on testing.
