  1. ICN Participation

Become a Hardware Provider

ICN is fueled by real-world demand from the cloud industry. Our incentive program for hardware providers is designed with clarity and simplicity at its core, directly linked to our cloud expansion.

Participating as a Hardware Provider on the Impossible Cloud Network

The Impossible Cloud Network (ICN) relies on professional hardware providers to contribute to the decentralization of the cloud. This of course while earning corresponding rewards. By joining the ICN, hardware providers become an essential part of the cloud infrastructure of the future, benefiting from real-world demand and network growth.

  • Consistent Compensation: Hardware providers are rewarded proportional to their contributions to the network, ensuring corresponding rewards through the ICN's native token.

  • Dynamic Rewards: As the network expands, hardware providers receive additional rewards, aligned with the growth and demand of the decentralized cloud platform.

  • Demand-Driven Growth: ICN is powered by real-world demand from the cloud industry. Providers can explore new revenue opportunities, including joint demand generation with ICN to accelerate their business growth.

How to Get Started

  • Join the Network: ICN has strict hardware performance thresholds to be met. To ensure that the right systems are being added, please contact us to be onboarded as a Hardware Provider.

  • Add ScalerNode: Begin by docking your hardware resources to the ICN Protocol. Use the Console to register your ScalerNode, defining its characteristics and capabilities and await verification. During this step you must collateralize ICNT as security for your ScalerNode to be activated as a resource.

  • Generate value: Once activated, your ScalerNodes will start earning corresponding rewards in the ICN native token, based on the scale and quality of your hardware. As a provider of capabilities your ScalerNodes will earn ICNT as a function of the amount of resources you have contributed.

  • Collect fees: While activated as part of the ICN resource network, your ScalerNode may be allocated for usage. This allows you to earn additional rewards as allocation fees for real utilization of your resources, in addition to rewards generated for supplying capacity.

  • Explore Growth Opportunities: As the network grows, you'll have access to additional opportunities to contribute tied to the expansion of ICN's cloud infrastructure.

The Role of Hardware Providers

Hardware providers are crucial in maintaining the network’s foundation and scalability. By participating in a transparent platform, they are incentivized to deliver high-quality infrastructure services. Providers are reliably compensated and contribute to the broader goal of decentralizing the cloud infrastructure, helping to build a secure and efficient ecosystem.
