Over the past few days, there’s been a lot of discussion centered around the concentration of votes within the top-10 ranking P-Reps. Several solutions have been proposed and new light has been given in a recent interview with Dr. ICON and Bong An Ha of the ICON Foundation.
In this post, we will examine Aspencoin’s transition to the Tezos blockchain from Ethereum and get into some interesting developments going on with Tokensoft.
Recently, I decided to interview Shane Burgett of Pocket/Figment, one of the top P-Rep candidates for the ICON protocol. We discussed Pocket/Figment’s past contributions to other projects like Tezos and an upcoming new development initiative for ICON, “ICON-DI” scheduled to take place in 2020 followed by an airdrop of POKT to provide rewards for ICONists running citizen nodes.
Recently, I decided to interview Radiofriendly of ICONation, one of the top P-Rep candidates for the ICON protocol. We discussed ICONation’s motivation for running for P-Rep, reward sharing, the state of ICONSENSUS, roadblocks, and more.
Creating blockchain governance models is no easy feat and many of the brightest minds with Ph.D.’s research the models extensively before formulating something that can work. In this post, we will contrast Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with Proof-of-Work (PoW), seek to understand why ICON’s Delegated Proof-of-Contribution (DPoC) model is an effective, incentive-based system, recap staking, and lastly discuss inflation.
Tezos has had an unbelievable year and it didn’t come quick to get to the point where the protocol is today. From early problems with the foundation, disgruntled factions, and many more issues in the early days – we can essentially compare Tezos’ story to that of a “Phoneix rising from the ashes“.
Recently, I had the chance to speak with and interview Edouard Lavidalle of POS Bakerz, a fellow ICON P-Rep candidate. We discussed events going on in Tezos, Cosmos, and of course, ICON!
