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 are the common methods to buy ICON (ICX) with Swedish Krona (SEK)?
To buy ICON (ICX) with SEK, you typically use a cryptocurrency exchange that serves as a fiat on-ramp. The most common methods include using a SEPA transfer from your Swedish bank account, which is often cost-effective, or purchasing directly with a debit/credit card for faster processing. Once the SEK is deposited, you can use the exchange's order book to execute a trade for ICX. Always ensure the platform has sufficient liquidity for the SEK/ICX pair and requires KYC/AML compliance for secure trading. -
Why is the SEK to ICX pair important for participating in ICON's DPoS consensus?
The SEK to ICX pair serves as a direct fiat gateway into the ICON ecosystem. Acquiring ICX is the first step to engaging with its Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. Once you own ICX, you can stake it and delegate your votes to Public Representatives (P-Reps), who validate transactions and govern the network. This participation not only helps secure the ICON blockchain but also allows you to earn staking rewards, making it a crucial function for any long-term holder. -
What fees are involved in an SEK to ICX digital asset purchase?
When converting SEK to ICX, you'll encounter several potential fees. First, there's a deposit fee for your SEK, which varies by method (SEPA transfers are often cheaper than credit cards). Second, the cryptocurrency exchange will charge a trading fee, typically a small percentage of the transaction value, which can differ for market 'makers' and 'takers'. Finally, when you move your ICX to a secure digital wallet, you'll pay a network withdrawal fee, which is determined by the ICON blockchain's transaction load. -
How does ICON's Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP) add value to ICX purchased with SEK?
Purchasing ICX with SEK grants you access to ICON's core feature: interoperability, powered by its Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP). BTP is a decentralized and trustless protocol that connects disparate blockchains, allowing for cross-chain communication and value transfer. This means your ICX isn't confined to the ICON ecosystem; it can be used to interact with dApps and assets on other BTP-connected networks. This significantly enhances the utility and potential of the digital asset you acquired. -
Are there specific KYC/AML regulations to consider when using SEK for an ICX purchase?
Yes, any reputable cryptocurrency exchange facilitating SEK to ICX transactions will adhere to strict Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. For Swedish residents, this typically involves verifying your identity using a government-issued ID (like a passport or national ID card) and possibly proof of address. These KYC/AML compliance measures are mandatory for fiat on-ramps in Sweden and the EU to prevent illicit activities and ensure a secure trading environment.
