If you have written a piece about ICONOMI, send it to press@iconomi.com and let us know; if it meets our criteria, we’ll mention it in our next Monthly Update.

New Features & Releases

We introduced fees payable in ICN for DAA creation, rebalancing, and tokenization. To read more about these fees and about our new buyback system, read our full blog post.

We will introduce DAA creation and rebalancing fees in May, together with a new back-end features related to these aspects of the platform. DAA tokenization fees will be introduced in April, and the adjusted buyback system will take effect on July 1.

With the most recent Android app update, Android users can now verify for Tier 1 directly on their phones. Download the updated app in the Play Store.

Android App Update

Verifying through the ICONOMI mobile apps is a much easier and more efficient process for our users, and we recommend it over verifying through browser access.

For the smoothest experience, please follow our recommendations and pointers for successfully verifying for Tier 1 verification.

New Supported Countries

Fourteen new countries are now supported for Tier 2 verification on the ICONOMI platform (Angola, Australia, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Namibia, Pakistan, Philippines, Senegal, Taiwan, and Thailand), bringing the total supported countries for Tier 2 to 63. Read more in our blog post.

Two-Factor Authentication for Withdrawals

Withdrawal 2FA allows users to divide authentication across two separate devices: one device can be used for login 2FA, and another device can be used for withdrawal 2FA, ensuring no single point of failure. It is especially applicable for company accounts, allowing these two roles to be split between two different people.

Withdrawal 2FA adds a second layer of protection for assets stored on the ICONOMI platform. We always stress the importance of keeping your assets safe, and features like this really make a difference.
