ICON

<p>In December, the ICON team continued making progress on BTP, ICON Bridge and ICON 2.0. In this article, we share tasks completed and development milestones for January.</p><p>Later this week, a strategy update will be published in which we further elaborate on the 2023 strategy for the ICON Network as a cross-chain hub.</p><h2 id="header-0">BTP Architecture/Product</h2><p>There have been significant improvements in documentation and end-to-end testing demos over the last month. E2e testing demos have proven useful for community developers and we look forward to seeing how it’s used. Additionally, initial implementations of the BMV for BSC and ETH2 have begun. This will be an iterative process as we test the verification process for both ETH2 blocks and BSC blocks.</p><p>In the current state of BTP implementation, we have confidence in the non-ICON BMVs that will verify ICON’s BTP blocks. This has been written in Solidity and is now part of the e2e testing demo. This could create a trustless ICON → other chain connection, while sending a message to ICON from another chain would still be ICON Bridge-style verification. Making the other chain → ICON trustless is the stage of the process we are at.</p><p>As mentioned in the previous update, testing the verification process is of the utmost importance. Any bug in this process could put all apps using BTP at risk, therefore this will be the most important aspect of BTP implementation.</p><h3 id="last-month">Last Month</h3><ul><li>Finished <a href="https://github.com/icon-project/IIPs/pull/55" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IIP52</a> to specify the xCall protocol (still in PR, but work is completed)</li><li>Finished <a href="https://github.com/icon-project/IIPs/pull/58" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IIP25</a> to specify BTP 2.0 (still in PR, but work is completed)</li><li>Wrote more <a href="https://github.com/icon-project/IIPs/pull/58" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">documentation</a> on how to manage BTP networks on the ICON Network</li><li>Added more scenarios to the <a href="https://github.com/icon-project/btp/tree/896eea19e683118361a6cd00baf20725f5d05393/e2edemo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">e2e testing demo</a> for BTP 2.0</li><li>Completed initial research and began initial implementations of the BMV for BSC and ETH2</li><li>Completed <a href="https://github.com/icon-project/goloop/blob/master/doc/btp2_extension.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">documentation</a> on BTP blocks</li><li>Began refactoring the Relay components to be more modular</li></ul><h3 id="next-month">Next Month</h3><ul><li>Review initial implementations of the BSC and ETH2 BMVs, provide feedback to engineers, then continue implementations and testing</li><li>Finalize the refactored Relay components and apply them to BSC and ETH2 implementations</li><li>Put together an itemized list of milestones for greater transparency into progress of BTP</li></ul><h2 id="header-1">Interoperability Integrations</h2><p>The team has made the ICON Bridge integration GitHub public, with integration teams moving to a monthly release schedule for releases (published <a href="https://github.com/icon-project/icon-bridge/releases/tag/v0.0.10" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>) and progress reports (published <a href="https://github.com/icon-project/grants-program/tree/main/progress-reports/icon-bridge" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>).</p><p>As integration updates are submitted to GitHub, we release a separate report summarizing what has been accomplished and what is scheduled to happen next.
