It has been confirmed recently in an interview with Markus Jun and Crowdfundinside discusses and emphasizes the fact that the ICX public chain (that means that the ICX cryptocurrency will be used) will be utilized by the South Korean Government. This type of governmental legitimacy is unheard of in the blockchain space and it’s important to reference that South Korea is a blockchain hub!
According to Seoulz "ICONLOOP will work with Seoul to develop a Seoul Citizens Card that will offer digital authentication for the use of public services. In addition, they will work together to create an easier way for temporary employees to sign contracts with their employers." It is important to note that Seoul intends to be a blockchain smart city by next year, further propelling the potential of ICON! You can find out more here with the links below!
