ICON is a blockchain technology and a network framework designed to allow independent blockchains to interact with each other and is denoted by ICX. The company’s’ interconnected blockchain allows participants to converge at a central point in a decentralized system. Blockchain technology can be used for exchanging information and for transactions- like securities, currencies, business contracts, loans, intellectual property, and personal identification. These blockchains are managed by a particular network. ICON has been making an effort in connecting different blockchains and allowing individual communities to retain control of their own policies to minimize the possibility of any conflict. A decentralized exchange connects the communities to the ICON network, which allows the maintenance of a verified ledger shared within the community, where the community is comprised of a network of Nodes. The communications between the communities are done by the ICON Republic and Citizen Nodes.
The C-Nodes are responsible for governing and maintaining the community’s blockchain because each community operates on its own rules and consensus algorithm. The citizen nodes are gateways for the individual to connect to ICON’s network.
