# The ICNT

**Introduction to ICNT**

The Impossible Cloud Network Token (ICNT) is the native digital asset of the Impossible Cloud Network (ICN). Serving as the fundamental unit of value, ICNT is crucial for enabling various interactions across the ecosystem, including accessing services and rewarding contributors.

ICNT holders can use the token to:

* Access decentralised cloud resources provided by Hardware Providers (HPs).
* Earn rewards by contributing collateral to the network from the staked HPs or HyperNode successfully performing their tasks.
