Hello World from the InterCooperative Network (ICN)!
Published on August 6, 2024 by Matt Faherty

We’re excited to introduce the InterCooperative Network (ICN), a new blockchain platform designed to support cooperatives and communities with decentralized governance and fair economic systems. Unlike traditional blockchains, ICN focuses on practical solutions for collaboration, transparency, and community-driven decision-making.

What is ICN? 
ICN is a platform built to help cooperatives and communities manage their operations in a more efficient and transparent way. Our goal is to provide tools that make it easier for groups to work together, share resources, and build strong, democratic networks.

Our Progress So Far
We’ve made solid progress on the core infrastructure of ICN. The foundational elements of our blockchain are in place, and we’re actively working on integrating key features like decentralized identity management, smart contracts, and reputation systems. While we still have a way to go, we’re proud of the groundwork we’ve laid so far.

Why are we here?
We recognize that traditional systems don’t always meet the needs of cooperatives and local communities. ICN aims to fill that gap by providing a platform that prioritizes collaboration and fairness, giving communities the tools they need to thrive.

How can you help?
As we continue building, we need your support to bring ICN to life. Your contributions will help us complete the development of the platform and bring our vision closer to reality. Whether you’re donating or spreading the word, your help is crucial.

Join Us on This Journey
This is just the beginning, and we’re glad to have you with us. If you believe in the power of community and cooperative work, we invite you to join us. Together, we can build something that benefits everyone.

Thank you for your support, and we’ll keep you updated as we move forward with ICN!
