In my opinion, ICX is a very good project and we can invest on its. However, as it is still developing and has notable competition, only time will only tell how well it will really perform.
Pros
- It is scalable and built to accommodate mass adoption.
- It works seamlessly with other third-party blockchain networks.
- It has strong institutional support.
- It has a large expert team.
- It has its own Mainnet and working products.
- Its core technology is called Loopchain, which is a blockchain built to communicate with other blockchains and provide real-time transactions between enterprises through the use of smart contracts built on reliable environments (SCORE) and blockchain signature infrastructure (BSI).
- The Loop Fault Tolerance consensus algorithm is used by the Loopchain to create consensus on the network faster than other common consensus algorithms.
- Nexus is the central platform that each participating blockchain is connected too. It acts as an indirect-democracy where representatives of each blockchain cast votes and propose policies for the parent-network. It is similar to the internet, as a ‘network of networks’ it grants independent governance to different blockchains and provides mutual connections when needed.
- A proof of stake algorithm allows ICX token holders to stake their tokens to earn a passive income as well as vote for representatives that will in turn vote for network decisions on their behalf.
- ChainID is the world’s first blockchain-based joint authentication service based on ICON’s Loopchain to build a better digital identification system.
Cons
- It has a lot of competitors in interoperability networks including Aion, Interledger, and Ark.
- It is restricted by Korean regulations.
- For all of its achievements, it is still young and in development.
