ICON Newsletter #40 - Respect the Pump $ICX

Greetings community!

It’s only been two weeks into the new year, and we’ve already seen how quickly this space can move - not only in the price of crypto assets but the pace of development, shifting narratives, funny memes (see title), and all the new participants joining.

It’s a great time to be developing in the blockchain space and an even more exciting time for the ICON project with many new releases in the pipeline. As you know, our ecosystem is fast-evolving, but one thing remains constant, and that is our focus on interoperability and connecting communities. That’s why we’re so excited about the coming months ahead and our launch of ICON 2.0, which adds to our capabilities already released through Orbit Bridge.

Many are in discussions regarding which communities to add via our BTP solution first, and we hope to share more details soon!

Until next time~ Stay Calm And Stake ICON.

Best,

ICON Team

The much anticipated launch of ICONFi is expected by the end of the month. ICONFi is a new crypto staking and earn service for the ICON community. ICONFi provides an easy solution for ICX staking. In addition, it allows users to earn yields on other crypto assets such as BTC, ETH, and USDT.
