The first permissionless,  composable, truly open cloud.

No More Restrictions.

ICN allows anyone to leverage decentralized services that are composable and permissionless. Free from corporate control and owned by everyone.

Owned by the People

ICN is a decentralized cloud, free from corporate control. Built for AI, gaming, and next-gen applications.

Run It, Build It, Own It

Anyone can run a HyperNode to help ensure ICN’s ecosystem integrity - powering a global cloud network. Open, scalable, and secure.

The Future Is Already Here

ICN is live, growing, and ready for mass adoption. A better cloud starts today.

How it works

Protocol Architecture

ICN’s architecture if based on three layers - User, the protocol with Hypernodes and hardware providers. This decentralized and open architecture ensures the next evolution of the cloud - with better scalability without compromising performance compared to traditional cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Impossible Cloud Network?

Impossible Cloud Network (ICN) is building a permissionless, composable and truly open ecosystem to challenge Big Tech monopolies like Amazon Web Services (AWS).

How does it work?

With resilient, high-performance decentralized cloud services, ICN lays the foundation for a scalable, secure, and community-driven ecosystem supporting enterprise, AI, gaming, and applications. With real-world adoption, proven leadership, and a vision for 200+ decentralized cloud services, ICN offers a true alternative to centralized control

What is a HyperNode?

How can I participate and earn rewards?

The ICN ecosystem consists of several key roles in maintaining an operational network.

HyperNode operators earn rewards for securing the hardware resource layer. By staking your ICN Link NFT to an operational HyperNode, you will earn ICNT in rewards as it performs verifications.

Hardware Node providers earn rewards for providing system capabilities to the network. They form our base layer of resources that our network infrastructure is built from. Nodes earn ICNT rewards that scale with the resources provided and usage of it.

What are the benefits of using the ICN compared to existing services?

ICN offers an open ecosystem, allowing anyone to contribute - with enterprise-grade hardware, cloud services as least performant as traditional ones or by running a Hypernode that ensure the ecosystem’s integrity. This permissionless and composable architecture is the next evolution of cloud - free from control.

Can you explain the role of Hardware Providers (HPs) and Users?

Hardware Providers (HPs) and Service Providers (SPs) are two key layers of the network. Hardware Providers supply the network with enterprise-grade hardware such as GPUs for AI computing or NVMEs for storage. They are contributing their hardware out of professional data centers and are in exchange rewarded.
Users are individuals or entities that develop and sell cloud services. These services can include AI computing or storage - just like the first user of the ecosystem, Impossible Cloud GmbH. We also anticipate next gen offerings such as AI agents.

How is data security addressed in the ICN?

There are a few layers of data security. On the outset, our decentralized setup ensures an ecosystem free from corporate control. Hardware providers undergo a vigorous selection process - ensuring they are providing enterprise-grade hardware out of data centers with relevant certification (e.g., ISO, SOC) . Users may offer product security feature such as identity access management.
