The cryptocurrency world is abuzz again with the emergence of an ambitious project called ICE Open Network (ION)-a next-generation blockchain that promises extreme scalability

Jakarta, Pintu News – The cryptocurrency world is abuzz again with the emergence of an ambitious project called ICE Open Network (ION) – a next-generation blockchain that promises extreme scalability, high-level privacy features, and mobile-only mining.

The project is billed as a successor and upgrade to the Telegram Open Network (TON), and has attracted over 9 million miners in a short period of time.

Is this the new future of crypto that anyone can access?

What is Ice Open Network (ION)?

Ice Open Network (ION) is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) based blockchain network born from the forking of the TON project. The network is designed to handle millions of transactions per second through a sophisticated multi-threading and sharding architecture.

The goal of the network is to pave the way for anyone to contribute to the world of blockchain—without the need for expensive devices or high technical skills.

ION adds various new features to the TON foundation, including decentralized digital identity, distributed storage, and a blockchain-based social network. All of this is driven by their native token, ICE, which is also used for consensus, incentives, and network governance.

Who Developed Ice Open Network (ION)?

Ice Network is developed by Ice Labs, which is a subsidiary of Leftclick.io. Leftclick is a technology company that aims to redefine the way individuals and businesses interact with technology, by providing a suite of cutting-edge software products tailored to the unique needs of users.

They are also involved in several other projects such as Framey, Shifter, and Shapehost. The team behind the Ice Open Network project includes Robert Preoteasa, CEO and co-founder of Framey – a Leftclick portfolio company.

How Does Ice Open Network (ION) Work?

The ION blockchain is designed to handle a very large number of transactions from millions of users. As a fork of the TON blockchain, ION inherits several components of the TON architecture, including the parallel transaction processing model, TON Virtual Machine (TVM), network sharding, and various blockchain operations.

Thanks to this parallel transaction processing model, ION can run transactions through multiple threads, validate multiple transactions simultaneously, and achieve network consensus after each batch of transactions is executed.

Just like TON, ION consists of a Masterchain, several Workchains, and a number of Shardchains. Shardchains are autonomous parts of the network that are capable of processing transactions; these parts make up the workchain.

By dividing the network workload into multiple shards, ION is able to increase processing capacity and perform horizontal scalability to accommodate the growing network work volume.

Shardchains handle smart contract operations; they process transactions in parallel through the TVM and send the transaction data to the consensus layer. Validators in the network then verify the transactions and log (hash) them into the network.

The masterchain plays a role in synchronizing the various parts of the network and handles operations such as managing the built-in consensus system, overseeing assets staked to the network, as well as coordinating the activities of validators.

According to ION developers, this design creates a dynamic network capable of processing millions of transactions per second.

Tap-to-Mine Feature: Mining at the Touch of a Finger

One of ICE’s most popular innovations is the Tap-to-Mine feature—a mobile app-based mining program that allows users to earn ICE simply by tapping the daily button on the app.

More than 9 million users from around the world have participated in the program since its launch in July 2023.

This program is not only easy, but also inclusive. With a referral system and daily active bonuses, users can increase their earnings without the need for massive GPUs or staking.

Furthermore, ICE also introduced the “Day Off” system, where users who are active for 6 or 30 consecutive days get automatic leave without losing mining rewards.

Super Advanced Technology Behind the ICE

ION features a modern blockchain architecture concept with three main layers: Masterchain, Workchains, and Shardchains. Shardchains process parallel transactions, ensuring maximum speed and scalability.

The data is then compiled and synchronized on Masterchain, which also manages consensus and validator activity.

Not only that, ICE also brings a series of revolutionary features such as:

Tokenomics ICE: Designed for Sustainability and Community

ICE tokens have a total supply of 21.15 billion, and are strategically distributed:

For now, the token is available on various exchanges including PancakeSwap, Kucoin, MEXC, HTX, and Gate.io.
