Fundamental analysis: Demand for ICX will continue to grow and exist with a strong user base

The ICON Network is the largest public blockchain project in South Korea with a mission to connect online communities with real-world businesses in banking, government, healthcare, and more. ICON achieves interoperability by aggregating all blockchain data into one layer, enabling businesses and communities to share their services transparently.

One of the benefits of this network is that smart contracts can be updated without moving to a new contract address which provides a cleaner coding process. ICON has a developer-friendly infrastructure making it very easy to get started as a developer, while the ICON developer community usually helps those who run into questions or issues when developing on the project.

“ICON boasts blazing-fast 1300+ transactions within 2 second block confirmation times and is constantly evolving. ICON has recently received high praise from KAIST University for its industry-wide consensus algorithm breakthrough, LFT2, which doubles speed without compromising safety,” the team of ICON reported.

There are already many projects on the ICON network, and it is important to say that ICON has experienced tremendous growth in its user activity this year. The ICON Network has its native coin under the symbol ICX that enables smart contract functionality within the ICON ecosystem.

ICX also provides network consensus validation and protocol governance, its circulating supply continues to decrease steadily, and the majority of ICX circulating supply is staked in the network.

According to estimates, demand for ICX will continue to grow and exist with a strong user base, especially from individual people who use applications built on the ICON network. This is one of the reasons why the price could advance again at levels that we saw in May 2021; still, this will probably not happen in August 2021.
