About
ICON (ICX)
ICON (ICX) is a decentralized network and layer-one blockchain designed to solve the critical issue of blockchain interoperability. Its core mission is to facilitate seamless cross-chain communication, allowing independent blockchains with different governance structures to interact without intermediaries. This vision of creating a "digital nation" is powered by its proprietary Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP), a chain-agnostic solution that enables the transfer of both value and data across connected networks. This makes ICON a fundamental piece of Web3 infrastructure, connecting disparate digital assets and dApps into a cohesive ecosystem.
The network is built on a high-performance blockchain engine called Loopchain and secured by a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. In this system, ICX holders stake their tokens to vote for Public Representatives (P-Reps), who are responsible for validating transactions and governing the protocol. The native utility token, ICX, is central to the ecosystem's tokenomics. It is used for paying transaction fees, executing smart contracts written in Java, participating in on-chain governance, and earning staking rewards. Through its advanced technology stack, ICON provides a robust framework for building scalable, cross-chain DeFi applications and services.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the IDR/ICX trading pair and what is its significance?
The IDR/ICX pair allows you to directly purchase ICON's native cryptocurrency, ICX, using the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Its significance lies in providing a direct fiat on-ramp for Indonesian users into the ICON ecosystem. This enables seamless access to its interoperability features via the Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP), its network of decentralized applications (dApps), and participation in ICON's governance by staking ICX, all without needing to convert IDR to another major cryptocurrency first. -
What are the typical payment methods on Indonesian crypto exchanges to buy ICX with IDR?
To purchase ICX on a regulated Indonesian crypto exchange, the most common payment methods are direct bank transfers via Virtual Accounts (VA) from major local banks. Additionally, many platforms support deposits from popular Indonesian e-wallets such as GoPay and OVO. These local payment methods are designed for fast and compliant transactions, adhering to BAPPEBTI regulations for digital asset purchases in Indonesia. -
How does ICON's Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP) enhance the utility of ICX acquired with IDR?
Acquiring ICX with IDR grants you access to ICON's core interoperability technology, the Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP). BTP is a decentralized protocol that enables cross-chain communication between disparate blockchain networks. This means your ICX can be used to interact with dApps and assets on other BTP-connected chains, significantly expanding its utility beyond the native ICON network and positioning it as a key asset for a truly interconnected blockchain ecosystem. -
After buying ICX with IDR, what security steps should I take when moving it to a digital wallet?
Security is paramount. First, use a dedicated ICON wallet like Hana or a hardware wallet for maximum security. When transferring from the exchange, always double-check the recipient wallet address for accuracy, as blockchain transactions are irreversible. Consider sending a small test amount first. Once in your wallet, securely back up your private key or seed phrase offline and never share it. For added participation, you can then stake your ICX and delegate it to a Public Representative (P-Rep) to help secure the ICON network. -
What is a Public Representative (P-Rep) and how can I participate after an IDR to ICX transaction?
Public Representatives (P-Reps) are entities elected by ICX holders to govern and secure the ICON network. They validate transactions and propose/vote on network changes. After converting your IDR to ICX and securing it in a wallet, you can participate by 'staking' your ICX and 'delegating' it to a P-Rep of your choice. This action supports the network's decentralization, helps secure blockchain transactions via ICON's LFT 2.0 consensus algorithm, and typically earns you staking rewards.
