ICONSENSUS <ICONSENSUS>, the journey toward mass adoption of blockchain that began in the first quarter, is now on track. The P-Rep election, the first milestone of ICONSENSUS, will be held in September, and 40 candidates from all over the world have already submitted their applications. The ICON P-Rep TestNets are currently being operated by P-Rep candidates to diverse test situations, enabling them to thoroughly review both technical and governance aspects before the MainNet launch. The 1st Phase of the ICON P-Rep TestNet was successfully completed in May. Completing the first TestNet as a decentralized network comprised of P-Rep candidates while also achieving stable operation without any stoppages was a significant step for the ICON Network. The 2nd Phase of the P-Rep TestNet has already begun and will be operated until July 31st. ICON has updated the IISS (ICON Incentive Scoring System) and shared details on Pre-Voting, which will begin in August. All ICONists will be able to experience what it is like to vote for a P-Rep candidate by staking ICX and delegating authority through Pre-Voting. In addition, 10 ICONSENSUS Campaign Ambassadors were selected and have been collaborating with ICON to promote the upcoming P-Rep elections with creative content. There were also 'ICONSENSUS P-Rep Candidate Conference Calls' where ICONists had a chance to attend live streams and get to know 13 different P-Rep candidates more closely. We expect your continued interest and participation in 'ICONSENSUS', which marks the full-scale expansion of the ICON ecosystem. ICON TX Challenge The 'ICON TX Challenge', a large scale blockchain development contest with a total prize pool of 1 million ICX and the goal of supporting developers around the world to develop the blockchain ecosystem, is in full progress. It has successfully generated 60M+ transactions in merely 24 days, which was very effective in stress testing ICON's network and proving the performance of the network before the decentralization. The 'ICON TX Challenge' has successfully brought 240+ blockchain-based services on the ICON network as well. In addition, 'ICON's Got Talent (The final award of ICON TX Challenge)' has been recently opened. A total of 6 teams will be selected according to evaluation standards after the contest, and they will be awarded a final prize of 50,000 ICX per team.
