Let's talk about ICN @ICN_Protocol today
💦 Many people do not realize - the business carrier of Pi Network is a DePin project
It sells a phone that can 'mine'
But when mentioning Pi today, everyone's first reaction is not 'this hardware is really strong'
but rather: 'This is a project with a strong narrative and community.'
💦 A strong community + a strong narrative is the real Alpha in the Web3 world
Technology is never lacking; what is lacking is a story that can make people believe, want to participate, and maintain consensus.
💦 The key to the project's second curve is - narrative upgrade + community launch
ICN is a typical representative among such projects.
It is not a new project; it focuses on decentralized cloud computing, which is the 'computing power + storage' track we are familiar with. The foundation is solid:
- Top-tier team: Co-founder Dr. Kai Wawrzinek founded Goodgame Studios and successfully led the company to go public on NASDAQ
- Actual revenue: Annual revenue exceeding $5 million (ARR), node asset sales exceeding $13 million
- Actual application: Real-time deployed storage capacity exceeding 50PB, reserve orders reaching 250PB
- Top venture capital: $31 million in financing
- Strong community: 250,000+ community members, 220,000+ testnet users
💦 What truly caught my attention about ICN is that it has started building a community around the narrative: WebFi
Under the narrative of WebFi, ICN aims to build a network driven and owned by global users together;
not 'centralized service providers + users,' but 'human node community.'
💦 Around human nodes, they are launching a community Campaign: #ICNTWorldDomination

- ICN reshapes the relationship between people and networks from the tool perspective. 'We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.'
- 'Whether it's toB or toC doesn't matter; what matters is: Is there a story that can make users 'participate'?
- Visualized social media viral marketing
💦 The mainnet is expected to launch in Q2 2025
- With WebFi's grand ambition, ICN's goal is to surpass the transformation of Web3: a new species of the fusion of Web2 + Web3, creating an autonomous network composed of human nodes
- The ICNT Token has been confirmed to land on several mainstream CEXs; the reward mechanism is high at first and low later, with 18.4% released in the first month to effectively incentivize early participants.
