Greetings ICONists,
I don’t know about you, but it feels like we’re starting to enter a new phase for the ICON project. First, ICONLOOP’s digital identity product ‘Zzeung’ is starting to hit its stride with approximately 50,000 KYC-ed accounts with Shinhan Bank partnership alone in less than a month. And, of course, the Jeju Island project is progressing smoothly towards its official launch this month.
Most importantly, as mentioned many times before, ICON is no longer solely driven by ICON Foundation or ICONLOOP. The future of ICON depends on the work of P-Reps and other contributors to the network and we’re excited to see this happening today. We’re anticipating new DeFi projects including
BalancedDAO and
OMM. And, we’re excited to see other projects such as Nebula, STIN, and others launching on the ICON network.
Thank you for your continued support for the ICON project. We’re pleased to have you on this incredible journey with us.
Best,
Min Kim, ICON Foundation Council Member
