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 best way to buy ICON (ICX) with Norwegian Krone (NOK)?
To purchase ICON (ICX) with NOK, the most common method is using a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that serves as a fiat on-ramp. You'll need to find a platform that supports NOK deposits, often via Norwegian bank transfers or services like Vipps. After completing the required KYC/AML compliance, you can deposit NOK, navigate to the ICX/NOK trading pair, and place a buy order. Once purchased, it's a security best practice to withdraw your ICX to a personal digital wallet compatible with the ICON network. -
What is the technical significance of the ICON network and its ICX token?
ICON is a layer-1 blockchain focused on creating a decentralized network that connects disparate blockchains. Its core technology is the Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP), a trustless and chain-agnostic interoperability solution. The native token, ICX, is crucial for the ecosystem. It's used for transaction fees, deploying SCORE (Smart Contract on Reliable Environment), and for network governance through its Delegated Proof of Contribution (DPoC) consensus mechanism, where ICX holders stake their tokens and delegate votes to Public Representatives (P-Reps). -
What are the common fees associated with NOK to ICX transactions?
When conducting a NOK to ICX digital asset purchase, you'll typically encounter three types of fees. First, a deposit fee for funding your exchange account with NOK, which can be minimal for local bank transfers. Second, a trading fee, charged by the exchange for executing your buy order on their order book, usually a small percentage of the transaction value. Finally, a withdrawal fee when you move your ICX off the exchange to your own wallet; this covers the ICON network's blockchain transaction fee and a small service charge from the exchange. -
Is it possible to stake ICX tokens after acquiring them with NOK?
Yes, staking is a core feature of the ICON network's Delegated Proof of Contribution (DPoC) consensus. After purchasing ICX on an exchange, you should withdraw it to a supported ICON wallet (like Hana or ICONex). From your wallet, you can stake your ICX and delegate it to one or more Public Representatives (P-Reps) who run nodes and govern the network. In return for contributing to network security and governance, you earn staking rewards in ICX. -
How does ICON's Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP) add value to the ICX token?
The Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP) is ICON's key interoperability solution, enabling secure, trustless communication and asset transfers between different blockchains. This technology directly increases the utility and demand for ICX. Transactions that utilize BTP to bridge assets or data across chains require fees paid in ICX. As more blockchains integrate with BTP, the volume of cross-chain transactions grows, leading to increased demand for ICX to facilitate this network-wide interoperability.
