ICB Network is a cutting-edge blockchain that is both fast and safe, built on top of one of the most cutting-edge security features currently available.
It is provided for cooperation with other networks. These cooperations include financial and functional exchanges in the fields of smart contracts and development tools for developers. Within its ecosystem, there is a particular focus on the fields of gaming and the Metaverse:
Virtual Goods: The greatest value that ACB brings to the gaming community, from Dololoop information to NFTs and tradable assets, is the creation and management of virtual goods. Developers on any operating system can easily create a unique currency for their community, supported by the idea of blockchain cooperation as the main currency. This endows the coins with all the benefits of blockchain technology. Since each asset is registered in a registry smart contract, all ICBX smart wallets recognize them, allowing users to exchange virtual goods with ICBX at any time.
Payment Gateway: Additionally, the ICB SDK includes a decentralized payment gateway. This portal allows the creation of invoices, refunds, and more. It also provides a widget (liquidity) for accepting ICBX payments or custom coins on your website for current amounts. The payment gateway charges only a small fee for each transaction and does not impose any additional fees. Leveraging the capabilities of EVM smart wallets, users can make automatic payments to games and websites listed as trusted platforms. This feature enables the setting of coins with fiat money support, ensuring faster and more reliable payments for regular subscription services.
Smart Wallet: The smart wallet integrated into the ICB network is a crucial component that connects all elements. The wallet supports virtual goods across any of your trusted operating systems and synchronizes with your Ethereum address.
A Pioneering Force in Blockchain Technology
As a fundamental and innovative project, the ICB network is at the forefront of blockchain developments. The network utilizes the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism as its central core, which establishes EVM standards and introduces new standards in platform management for efficiency, security, and scalability across various industries.
The ICB network has transitioned from current proof-of-work (PoW) systems and standard-compliant PoS to a new generation within the PoS family. In this new system, token holders can choose representatives to verify transactions, which are then approved through the proof of validity method and the Byzantine Fault Tolerance algorithm. This approach brings several advantages:
Increased Transaction Bandwidth: Using PoS, transaction verification is faster, and data flow is increased, making it ideal for high-volume applications.
Ease of Transactions: This algorithm allows transactions to occur without multiple confirmations. If nodes agree on a block of transactions, the network transaction is confirmed immediately. This algorithm guarantees the finality of transactions without the need for confirmations such as proof of work or additional shares.
Low Energy Consumption: Unlike consensus algorithms based on work and some older proof-of-stake systems, the ICBX algorithm does not require high computing power or energy consumption, making it environmentally friendly.
Balanced Rewards: Decision-making in this algorithm is collective. Each node in ICB reduces and balances the rewards of validators according to their motivations.
Enhancing network security: The agent-based model ensures that network operations are overseen by agents elected by token holders, which helps to enhance intelligent decision-making and increase overall network security.
A Future-Ready Blockchain Solution
The ICB Network is not just a technological advancement; it's a vision for the future of blockchain. By prioritizing speed, energy efficiency, and robust security measures, the network is uniquely positioned to transform multiple sectors. It’s an embodiment of our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what blockchain can achieve, making it more accessible, sustainable, and secure for everyone.
With POS consensus, a specialized Layer-1 design, and a focus on scalability, security, and speed, the ICB Network is ready to change how we communicate, do business, and handle data. The ICB Network will shape the future of Layer-1 blockchains as it continues to grow and change, promoting growth and innovation in many fields.
The ICB network, with its continued growth and evolution, has shaped the future of layer-1 blockchains and promotes innovation and development in many areas. The five main layers that this network uses are:
Hardware Layer: This foundational layer stores blockchain information in personal nodes or servers. The client-server structure is used to access information needed for web browsing or using blockchain applications. This layer employs peer-to-peer networks to share information, and data is stored in decentralized databases, creating a wide network of diverse devices.
Data Layer: The second layer contains the data and information available in the network. The blockchain data structure consists of a set of interconnected blocks, each containing time-ordered transactions. This structure uses pointers and a linked list to form a chain of blocks. Additionally, a Merkle tree is an important structure used for data security and integrity.
Network Layer: Also known as the P2P layer or publishing layer, this layer establishes communication between the various components of the blockchain. It manages the release of blocks, transactions, and communication. A peer-to-peer (P2P) network consists of distributed nodes that connect and share the network workload to achieve a common goal. This layer ensures that nodes can communicate, share, and synchronize information to maintain integrity across the blockchain network. Nodes are responsible for processing transactions in the blockchain.
Consensus Layer: This core layer is where the consensus algorithm is implemented and agreement between nodes is achieved. Consensus is reached in a decentralized manner, eliminating the need for centralization. This layer embodies the core of decentralization in a blockchain, with transactions processed by numerous nodes, all of which must agree on their validity. No single node can control transaction information, and if this layer fails, the entire blockchain system will collapse.
Application Layer: As the highest-level layer, this layer provides applications designed using blockchain. It functions similarly to the user interface and front-end part of an application. Developers can design their applications in this layer to be run by the blockchain. This layer includes scripts, APIs, frameworks, smart contracts, and decentralized applications.
