I saw some KOL partners talking about this ICN (impossibly cloud network) these two days. It just happened that I had researched it before, and also talked about it.
It all started with my investment in @ AethirCloud. At that time, they innovatively developed a node sales method and raised a huge amount of funds, shocking the entire circle - "So can we sell goods in advance like this
Then there are many project follow-up, especially Depin projects. In my impression, @ ICN_Protocol also quietly sold nodes worth 12M through the Impossible Finance platform, and quietly made a fortune (there are few in the Chinese section).
From the recent publicity density, it seems that TGE is finally coming. To be honest, the background should be at least of the same quality as some projects that have recently been launched on Wallet IDO. I just checked the project progress and gave a brief overview of what they do and a few highlights.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summary in one sentence:
ICN aims to build a cloud network driven by communities, composed of global nodes, and resistant to censorship. Attempting to challenge Web2 giants such as AWS and Google Cloud, with real customers and proven revenue.
It is no secret that over 80% of the global network infrastructure is controlled by a few tech giants. If decentralization runs on centralized Infra, it is actually a joke. We can see this risk happening in reality from time to time.
Project Highlights:
1. The founder is an experienced driver who has worked for a listed company
The founder once founded Goodgame Studios, which has gone public through IPO
CTO holds over 20 storage related patents
👉 It's not a student entrepreneurship, it's Web2 veterans leading a team to do Web3 real things
2. Really raised 30 million
Although this financing information cannot be found on the public internet, I asked my VC friends around and Xiaozhuge @ YeruiZhang said it should be true, and the well-known VC 1kx is very optimistic and supports them.
👉 It's not a fake project to brag about
3. Someone is really using it, really making money
ICN has over 1000 corporate clients
Revenue exceeding $5 million in 2024
👉 It's not a PPT project, it's a commercial product running in real life
4. It is not only decentralized, but also truly resistant to censorship
AWS/Google Cloud will be blocked, ICN community driven, nodes distributed globally
Not afraid of national level network disconnection, not afraid of platform restrictions
👉 Infrastructure that is truly suitable for "free Internet"
ICN still has many advantages compared to some of its current competitors, which have surpassed the concept of Filecoin, which only provides storage services

Although there are some concerns about Depin's narrative in the current market, there is also great goodwill and expectation for projects with real cash flow and profitability.
So for projects that have over 1000 paying enterprise customers by 2024, annual revenue exceeding $5 million, reserve orders exceeding 250PB, global distribution, daily processing of 20-50 million files, and have already been implemented in multiple data centers in Europe, would you look at them differently?
At present, it seems that they have opened a grooming window for retail investors http://world.icn.global
Binding Twitter and wallet posts can earn ICNT, but a pure new address is probably not enough, as there is a Gitcoin Passport score requirement.
I saw that @ wenxue600 in the Chinese section also has tasks, but galxe doesn't have any major issues and everyone understands.
