Fundamental Finale
Fundamentally ICON is nearly the picture of perfection. Creating, producing, and executing month after month. They are doing things differently than their competition. They identify a business’s need, where they then build a blockchain solution for that need. More typically everyone else builds the blockchain and requireds businesses to comply with it’s limitations and structure. As a blockchain 3.0 project it truly brings the scalability, incentives and partnerships to meet and exceed the requirements for mass adoption. They do lean on their successes and word of mouth for much of their marketing and this has worked well for them so far. With the launch of their ICX/ETH DEX possibly just weeks away, it would be expected that some additional international marketing and outreach would also be launched.
Trade Crypto Live watches ICON closely. We see a huge potential in ICON and believe that it is changing the way blockchain is perceived and used. They still support the most basic use cases for blockchain but also pursue growth through solving problems identified by their partners. ICON is an impressive real-world business that is breaking down the issues in the blockchain technologies of today.
