ICN builds the first composable, permissionless and truly open cloud ecosystem - all of this without compromising performance. Put simply, the cloud of the future.

Composable

Our architecture allows the different layers to interact in a fully composable way.

Permissionless

The ICN protocol transparently enables interaction between all participants - without central control.

Truly open

ICN allows anyone to contribute to the ecosystem - enabling the cloud of the future run by everyone.

Without compromise

With our product-centric heritage, our ecosystem is at least as performant as traditional cloud.

Protocol Overview

ICN builds the first composable, permissionless and truly open cloud ecosystem - all of this without compromising performance. Put simply, the cloud of the future.

ICN Protocol is a global network of interconnected nodes, enabling a secure and robust cloud ecosystem. HyperNodes guard our Hardware Nodes through decentralized capability checks ensuring a safe, permissionless infrastructure for the future internet.

HyperNodes

Secure our hardware network by operating a HyperNode.

Hardware Constellations

Networks of hardware nodes build the foundation of the cloud

User Access

Anyone can securely access hosted services and applications.

Running a HyperNode

Become part of the network by operating a HyperNode. Contribute your computing resources to protect the decentralized cloud layer.

Get the node

Download and set up your ICN node in minutes.

Connect to the network

Start running your node, setup your resource limits. Start earning rewards buy participating.

COMING SOON

Guard the network

Your HyperNode now secures a Web3-centric cloud! Hardware nodes will be checked and verified by you to keep ICN protocol safe.

Providing Hardware

Extend ICN network capabilities by committing your resources to the open cloud and becoming a hardware provider in any one of our constellations.

Obtain Hardware and setup

Acquire and setup your hardware. Install ICN OS to begin.

Add your Hardware to ICN

Register your Hardware Node to a constellation on-chain, and explore the ICN ecosystem.
