The Best ICON Hardware Wallet- How to keep your ICX Coins Safe

The CoolWallet S offers native support for the ICON (ICX) cryptocurrency in our hardware wallet.

What is ICON (ICX)?

ICON is a global decentralized network of blockchain communities that can connect to each other.

It is essentially a massive blockchain ecosystem, called the ICON Republic, which intersects with multiple blockchain communities ("Communities" ) through portals known as C-Nodes which are governed by community representatives ("C-Reps") that are connected to Nexus, ICON's loopchain blockchain technology.

Still stuck? Let's look at the following simple graph:

C-reps are appointed by their own communities and responsible for governing it. They receive rewards in the form of ICX, ICON's native currency, not unlike that of a Proof-of-Stake (POS) network.

How Does ICON work?- A simple analogy

Founded by the billion-dollar Korean company Dayli Financial, owners of Coinone exchange, ICON is an incredibly complex and ambitious project (see their whitepaper here). Let's try to dumb it down even more.

ICON can be compared to a country ("republic" ) where different blockchains operate as states ("communities) , each with their own constitution and infrastructure ("C-Nodes") and elected officials ("C-reps) that govern these communities and receive ICX coins as a reward.

What is an ICON (ICX) community?

An ICON "Community" is an independent single blockchain that governs itself by its own rules and consensus algorithm. They are built on Community Nodes (C-Nodes), which manage and maintain the community's blockchain. These communities can operate independently outside the ICON Republic. C-Nodes are portals for individuals to create transactions and use DApps.

What is the purpose of ICX?

ICON wants to "Hyperconnect the World". Within this so-called ICON Republic, previously isolated communities can now share different services and interact via their networks.

By using blockchain IDs and smart contracts, communities connect via a "loopchain" protocol in order to exchange different virtual currencies from DEX wallets for a wide range of services such as insurance, education, finance and healthcare.

What is an ICX hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet is a physical security storage device for your ICX coins that is not connected to the Internet and therefore keeps your ICX private key and data on it offline and in "cold storage". It is without a doubt the safest method to store cryptocurrencies.

How to Back up an Icon (ICX) Wallet

CoolWallet's ICX Wallet private key is protected by the hardware wallet's secure element, and impossible to extract by anyone, not even us.

When you set up your CoolWallet the first time, you'll be asked to write down 12 to 24 5-digit numbers on a Seed Recovery Phrase paper wallet (booklet).

This means that your ICX wallet is already backup on the CoolWallet. If you ever lose your CoolWallet, you can restore your ICX coins and other crypto funds on a new CoolWallet or compatible wallet by entering your Seed Recovery Phrase. It's really simple!
