At present, the popularity of Depin's track remains high, and I am also looking for projects that can cross bull and bear races. What exactly does the building that everyone talks about the most need to be built on the Depin track? In fact, there is no doubt about infrastructure construction, and I have also seen many projects. I am more interested in decentralized cloud infrastructure platforms.
As is well known, the core requirements for web3 are decentralized computing, storage, and networking. And Decloud is the underlying infrastructure. Simply put, Decloud refers to "water, electricity, and gas" in the real world. The synchronization of blockchain nodes relies on storage and bandwidth, and currently popular AI project deployments also require GPU services. The most commonly used dapps also require servers to support them, all of which can be achieved through a full stack decentralized cloud.
The most important thing for a full stack decentralized cloud is a decentralized architecture that can cover all components such as computing, storage, networking, data, identity, and security without relying on centralized cloud vendors. And each individual requirement has its own representative project, which has also been summarized for everyone.
The project that can simultaneously meet all the above requirements and run independently, currently the best quality project is ICN @ ICN_Protocol, after all, on May 22nd, NGP Capital, the financial backer of Xiaomi, strategically invested in ICN with a valuation of $470 million. When it comes to NGP, its historical investment targets cannot be ignored, including well-known projects such as Lime, Helium, Xiaomi, etc. The main investment rounds are mostly in the A-C rounds, mainly covering areas such as network security, edge cloud, industrial technology, enterprise software, etc. The principle that professional people do professional things is not at all false. As for Helium, it is a high-quality and feasible project in the Depin field, with a current market value of 540M. If Helium is the starting point for NGP's investment in the Depin field, then ICN must be the turning point for its investment transformation. This time, they chose to bet on the "decentralized cloud computing" track.
The strength of ICN not only comes from powerful investment institutions, but also from its own hematopoietic function. According to public information disclosure, there are already over 1000 paying enterprise users with annual revenue exceeding $5 million in 2024. This achievement can be considered a startup unicorn enterprise in web2, not the PPT project that everyone is thinking about. After all, there were many PPT projects with strong background investments in the previous round, and there are still many that have not been implemented yet. But the ability to support centralized storage, settlement, and networking through infrastructure construction is something that people can truly see. The investment logic is just like this, the saying goes that seeing is believing and hearing is believing. The most important thing is to make it visible to people.
After careful research, it is not an exaggeration to expect ICN to be AWS for web3. Currently, ICN is one of the closest DeCloud projects to a full stack, with a three-tier structure that is both decentralized and enables efficient collaboration.
one ️⃣ The resource provider layer Scaler Node can provide nodes that offer basic services such as physical computing resources (CPU/GPU), storage (NVMe), bandwidth, etc., providing a true operating environment for Web3 applications and AI models.
two ️⃣ The protocol security layer HyperNode can control the quality of the resource provider layer, but it does not provide computing resources and can only monitor, verify, and penalize independent nodes. Maximize the transparency and stability of resource scheduling during the operation of ICN.
three ️⃣ The developer deployment layer Builder SDK can quickly deploy decentralized services on ICN, providing guarantees for later ecological diversity and compatibility.
The ability of ICN to connect the paths of physical resources, network services, and applicable combinations is the core of building a "decentralized AWS" for Web3.
Recently, their token ICNT is also approaching TGE. Those who haven't done Galaxy missions or test networks before can participate in the recent "mouth slapping".
