Greetings fellow Iconists. In preparation for ICX's migration to SODA on Sonic, we have retired our validator node.
Iconists that were staking towards our node should revote to another active validator to continue receiving staking rewards.
Whilst our node is now gone, our members are still here, and we're looking forward to migrating to SODAX with you!
We've loved being a part of this journey with you all, thank you for your support.

Reflecting on our time together we achieved so much. Multisig wallets, oracles infrastructure, decentralised exchange, software development kits, smart contract audits, dapp testing, educational courses, developer onboarding, community management, decentralised governance n more.
Someone just used our intent system to swap 0.5 ETH on Arbitrum for bnUSD on ICON.
📉 Market price said: $1321
📈 They got: $1375
How?
Our solver picked up the intent, spotted an arbitrage between ICON and @BuildOnStellar via @SoroswapFinance and @BalancedDeFi, and routed the swap:
🔁 Arbitrum → Stellar → ICON
⚡ In 10 seconds. +4.09% instant profit.
This is what solver infra is made for:
🧠 Better prices, cross-chain, without the mess.
Been quiet these past few weeks—partly due to work travel, mostly because we've been deep into building mode.
I prefer staying away from hype and only sharing when things are ready. The past 3 months have felt quieter publicly, with fewer new chains and feature releases. But behind the scenes, we've been laser-focused on a major infrastructure overhaul:
🔹Revamping our relays for enhanced stability and security.
🔹Upgrading our solver to handle larger trades, secure better prices for users, and boost protocol profitability.
🔹Updating key contracts to support faster and smoother operations.
Once completed, these improvements will allow us to expand to new chains quicker than ever.
Big things are in motion—stay tuned.

BNUSD is an over-collateralized stablecoin minted via https://t.co/OktGwDmmbt Unlike USDC, which is dollar-backed, BNUSD is backed by BTC, ETH, SOL, INJ, AVAX, ICX, SUI & stable coins as collateral, giving users the ability to put their capital to work.
"Disagree and Commit!" is a phrase and principle used by some of the top leaders like @JeffBezos and I often use it with my team. The people have chosen our leaders and it's time to fully support them. If you can't support, pls respectfully get out of the way. Or else, we'll just be wasting the next 4 yrs.
When we forged a new path for $ICX with enshrinement earlier this year, I asked for complete buy-in from my team and partners. I'd like to ask our community to do the same and provide full support. Either "Disagree and Commit" or pls respectfully get out of the way. We won't tolerate toxicity. Positive momentum begins with a positive community and we need every ounce of positivity.

Big news for Icon $ICX ledger users. Ledger live integration is here!
Fun fact: This was a community driven initiative funded via Icon's decentralised funding grants, aka the CPS (Contribution Proposal System).
.@helloiconworld is all about helping developers build cross-chain apps - and now their native coin $ICX is available to send and receive through Ledger Live!
That means you can manage your $ICX directly through Ledger Live, easily and securely.
The most underrated aspect of $ICX Ledger Live support that it was 100% community built + funded via CPS, ICON's decentralized grant program. The future is bright! 🚀
@DefiIgnas Took a few more years than intended, but @helloiconworld is shipping interoperability tech.
Do yourself a solid & check out @BalancedDAO It's a DEX & the front end for swaps. $BALN has low inflation/MC & is outperforming the market lately.
$ICX inflation supports Balanced. 😉
