Web3 Innovators #115 - Chainlens Spaces: Unifying global cloud infrastructure with Impossible Cloud Network
In this episode of Chainlens Spaces, Conor Svensson sits down with Kai Wawrzinek, CEO and Founder of Impossible Cloud Network (ICN), to discuss their mission to decentralize cloud infrastructure. Kai explains how ICN leverages Web3 and decentralized technologies to address traditional cloud provider limitations, such as vendor lock-in, high costs, and single points of failure. The conversation covers ICN's decentralized approach to enterprise-grade storage, the role of token incentives in scaling the network, and how ICN enables a decentralized alternative to services offered by hyperscalers like AWS and Google.
Key Moments:
- Background and Vision for ICN: Kai shares his background in gaming and how his experience with AWS led to the founding of Impossible Cloud Network.
- ICN's Two-Tier Structure: Kai explains ICN’s structure, with the German entity focusing on services and the Swiss foundation managing protocol and network governance.
- Decentralizing Storage and Computing: ICN enables efficient use of underutilized data center capacity, lowering costs for users and reducing dependency on centralized hyperscalers.
- Incentive and Governance Model: Kai outlines how ICN’s token model aligns interests across hardware providers, customers, and participants in the network.
- Future of Decentralized Cloud Services: Kai shares ICN’s roadmap, including upcoming token and node sales, and expansion of storage and computing capabilities.
