ICON Decentralized Applications (Part 2)
Today we are continuing our journey through Decentralized Applications (DApps) built on the ICON network. In our previous article, we presented overviews of some DApps built on ICON. We covered Blue Whale, weBloc, SOMESING, VELIC, and ZenSports. In this article, we continue with 3 more DApps.
6. MECA Coin / MECA Casino
MECA Casino is a decentralized and trusted online casino platform who will solve the main problem of online casino space: the absence of transparency. Most current online gambling platforms are centralized, resulting in a lack of trust of the players in online gambling casinos. With MECA Casino, users will be able to verify completeness, game odds, distribution of player winnings, and accuracy through the MECA Chain.
In April 2019, MECA Casino acquired an online gambling license after a thorough due diligence process, investigating the fairness of the MECA Casino platform.
MECA Casino will launch integrated MECA Casino services, including MECA City in the 4th quarter of 2019.

The platform has two components: ‘Cosmochain Community’ for customers and ‘Cosmochain Solutions’ for companies.
5 main characteristics of the Cosmochain platform are:
- Social media as a community. Users can freely upload or view content. Other users can vote, write comments, or repost in their personal page. Content creators and customers who consume content receive rewards for their effort.
- Participating in company sponsored projects. Companies can initiate sponsored projects to collect data, hold surveys, or present tests. After successful execution of a project, participating individuals will receive rewards.
- Commerce features for shopping (Marketplace). The Cosmochain platform offers Marketplace, where participating companies can sell their products. When a transaction is made, payment is made by Cosmo Power, and companies can either convert this into Cosmo Coin (Token) and then into cash (fiat money) or use Cosmo Power freely within the Cosmochain platform. Customers can use cash and/or Cosmo Power to buy and companies receive cash and Cosmo Power combined.
