Below are a few reasons why we are securing the #ICON network as a P-Rep and building on it

1/9 - #ICON is a #blockchain protocol for Decentralized Applications and #Interoperability. It supports smart-contracts with #Python, #staking and is already interoperable with other #Ethereum and some other chains through @Orbit_Chain.
2/9 - With #ICON 2.0: #Batang, a major upgrade is in the works with a new software architecture based on @golang . #Interoperability will come as a standard to support and power cross-chain #DeFi solutions - with all the necessary smart-contracts and #relayers
3/9 - Talking about #DeFi, there are already a few projects built or building on $ICX: liquid ICX https://licx.finance/ , noloss lottery https://lottery.stakin.com/ , money market https://omm.finance/ , and more. Have a look at https://iconrepublic.org/applications
4/9 - Among the projects worth having a look at, you might want to check https://balanced.network/ - the #DAO to create tokens pegged to real-world assets
5/9 - Although #DeFi deserved some space. #ICON goes beyond #DeFi. There are already many use cases. Universities such as POSTECH are using #broof to issue #blockchain certificates. Jeju island uses #ICONLOOP to track #Covid.
6/9 - #ICON boasts an impressive ecosystem. Some of the world's largest corporations are part of it: Samsung, @LINEjp_official, @miraeasset to name but a few. Have a look at @MyIDAlliance for a comprehensive list of ecosystem partners https://myidalliance.org/en/
7/9 - Everything runs in a #decentralized fashion, from governance to ecosystem funding and communication. P-Reps vote on the future of the network, funding is run through the #CPS https://cps.ibriz.ai/ . Community members are on fire. Have a look below for some to follow

9/9 - Some of our favourite #ICON community members ones include @coreycosta123 @BearSurvivor @Mounia_NL @markusjayvc @SimSulKim @benny_options @GalewskiPatryk @fezbox @nblaze4 @minhokim @NorskKiwi1
8/8 - For a final note, compared to other #interoperability protocols such as @Polkadot and @cosmos - #ICON $ICX might seem undervalued. Time to send it 
?
