ICON's consensus algorithm "Delegated Proof of Contribution" is an innovative governance model which provides the fair and stable rewards for the contributors regardless of market fluctuation thanks to its bottom-up pricing, and creates various business opportunities for its P-REPs (Block Producers and Validators). It also seeks a hybrid governance model in which on-chain and off-chain governance works harmoniously.

1 Representative Reward
• P-Reps will gain Block Production and Verification Reward as well as Representative Rewards.
• The reward amount is decided based on the I_rep variable, sum of the operation cost and profit, and the P (ICX Price) variable, which reflects the
external environments.
• The value of the variables is decided as the stake-weighted average of submission by the 22 Main P-Reps through the On-Chain Governance
System.

• Reward for each block production and

• The top 22 Main P-Reps acquire by

• Reward provided proportional to the

• The top 100 Main & Sub P-Reps acquire
the reward as a proportion of one’s

• ICON Network has high potential value driven by various IISS-based on-chain systems such as EEP, DBP, and Interchain
• EEP : Community activities to propose and implement projects on various topics such as network development, education, investment, community expansion, token
economy development, and earn rewards in return for carrying them out.
• DBP : DApp services will become more accessible to the users through DApp store. By incentivizing DApps with delegation rewards by their ranking, the ICON
Network will be more widely used.
• Interchain : Heterogeneous blockchains of different industries such as finance, insurance, education, and healthcare, will be connected and create synergic effect in
business expansion.
• As the fundamental component of the ICON Network, P-Reps lead the initial growth stage of the network and create various business opportunities
as the network matures

2 First-Mover Advantages
• As the ICON Network is in the initial stage, the genesis P-Reps can take the first-mover advantages.
• The genesis P-Reps can acquire ICX at a relatively low cost.

1.Whatis'P-RepPre-registration’?
- The registration period is divided into two stages: 'P-Rep Pre-registration' and 'P-Rep On-Chain Registration'. During 'P-Rep Pre-registration', candidates can register in off-chain environment via
ICON.Community and receive various benefits. This stage will last until September 2019.
2.Whatis'P-RepOn-ChainRegistration’?
- 'P-Rep On-Chain Registration' will begin in 4Q. At that time, P-Rep candidates will need to submit basic information (P-Rep name, team introduction, e-mail, URL) and node information (Node IP,
Node Port) on the ICON Network to be registered.
3.WhatarethetermsofbecomingaP-Rep?
- There is no minimum requirement to register as a P-Rep. However, in order to become a Main P-Rep who can create and verify blocks, one must be delegated with at least 0.2%of the total ICX
circulation volume.
- The ranking will be updated every 24 hours to guarantee sufficient time for P-Reps to propose governance policy.
4.Whendoestheelectionend?
- The election will effectively conclude as the 22ndP-Rep gets elected. ICON network will move into its first phase of decentralization,operated by the Genesis P-Reps.
5.DoIhavetostakeICXtorunasaP-Repcandidate?
- A minimal amount of P-Rep registration fee is needed but extra ICX staking is not required.
