Stratos and Impossible Cloud Network (ICN) are excited to announce our partnership to redefine the future of decentralized cloud infrastructure. By joining forces, Stratos and ICN will leverage their unique strengths to build a more robust, scalable, and decentralized cloud ecosystem that empowers Web 3.0 builders, decentralized applications (dApps), and AI-driven services.

Combining Decentralized Strengths for Cloud Innovation

ICN, a multi-service cloud platform that connects cloud service providers with top-tier infrastructure, is dedicated to decentralizing the cloud while maintaining the highest performance and service quality. Through this partnership, ICN will integrate its open and programmable cloud infrastructure into Stratos’ decentralized storage, computing, and blockchain networks. This collaboration will allow ICN users seamless access to hardware from trusted providers, with the flexibility to choose decentralized services to optimize performance and decentralization.

Stratos, known for its decentralized infrastructure designed for AI, DePIN, and Web 3.0 services, offers a next-generation decentralized data mesh that offers scalable, reliable, and self-balancing storage, database, and computation networks. With its cutting-edge Proof-of-Traffic consensus, Stratos incentivizes network node providers based on real-time file usage and traffic, surpassing centralized cloud solutions like Google Drive in both performance and decentralization.

Empowering a Decentralized Future

This partnership allows ICN to tap into Stratos’ extensive decentralized storage network, which boasts over 800 storage resource nodes worldwide, with a storage capacity approaching 14 petabytes (PB). By utilizing Stratos’ decentralized storage, ICN customers can reduce their reliance on centralized cloud providers while benefiting from a highly efficient, scalable, and secure storage solution.

Additionally, Stratos’ video streaming API service will enable ICN platforms to stream live events and content smoothly and privately, ensuring high-quality performance and enhanced privacy for end users. This will empower projects across the ICN network to deliver superior content distribution without compromising on decentralization or security.

By integrating ICN’s flexible, multi-service cloud platform with Stratos’ high-performance decentralized infrastructure, this partnership aims to build a future where cloud services are not only decentralized but also efficient.

Together, Stratos and ICN are building the decentralized cloud of tomorrow.
