Here’s Why ICON Rebranded to SODAX and Abandoned its Layer-1

ICON’s blockchain identity crisis culminates in a full rebrand to SODAX—along with a quiet exit from the Layer-1 race. Was it regulatory pressure, dwindling developer interest, or just another crypto project chasing the hype cycle?

The move raises eyebrows: abandoning a functioning network to hitch onto existing infrastructure smells suspiciously like a VC exit strategy. But hey, at least the marketing team gets a fresh logo.

One thing’s certain—in crypto, pivots beat persistence when the funding dries up. TradFi bankers are taking notes… and laughing into their spreadsheets.
