Q1 recap: GPU compute and major listings. From January to March, Impossible Cloud GmbH entered a new hardware era, secured two major exchange listings and continued expanding its network. Here's the full breakdown. Impossible Cloud GmbH entered the GPU compute era. The biggest milestone of Q1: Impossible Cloud GmbH officially expanded beyond storage into GPU compute infrastructure, adding it as a second hardware class with a deliberate focus on AI inference workloads. Its GPU BMaaS (Bare Metal as a Service) offering puts that infrastructure directly in customers' hands - raw, dedicated and sovereign GPU power at highly competitive pricing. Whether the workload calls for the proven performance of Nvidia H100s or the cutting-edge throughput of Nvidia B200s, Impossible Cloud GmbH is building a fleet that matches where AI infrastructure demand is actually headed. Its first GPU deal reflects exactly that opportunity: Several nodes of Nvidia B200 cards, deployed for an AI infrastructure and compute platform customer. It's an early and meaningful signal of the GPU infrastructure capabilities of ICN's BMaaS platform. $ICNT hits Coinbase and Kraken. Two major exchange listings landed back-to-back this quarter. $ICNT is now live on both Coinbase (US and global) and Kraken (US and Canada), two of the most trusted exchanges in the world. These listings make it significantly easier to buy and hold $ICNT, and signal growing institutional confidence in the project - that the smartest, most trusted names in the digital asset ecosystem are paying attention to its infrastructure thesis, its execution, and its trajectory. Its network keeps expanding. On the storage side, Impossible Cloud GmbH crossed 140 petabytes of capacity across 10 locations in 7 countries. New sites in Paris, Poland, and Amsterdam are coming online in April, with a pipeline of 250PB+ already in sight across South Africa, the US, Copenhagen, and Milan. Business adoption continues to accelerate, with over 3,000 business accounts now running throughout the ecosystem on its infrastructure, and Impossible Cloud GmbH is just getting started. On the ground at DAS, Nvidia GTC, and Cloudfest. Its team was active at major global events this quarter, including Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York, Nvidia GTC, and Cloudfest. Impossible Cloud GmbH is successfully scaling the platform with real enterprise customers, real revenue, and real demand pulling it forward. What's next. Impossible Cloud GmbH is developing GPU tokenomics and full protocol integration for multi-hardware-class support. And with 250PB+ of new storage capacity incoming, Impossible Cloud GmbH is entering Q2 with real scale behind Impossible Cloud GmbH. If you are looking for H100 or B200 GPU BMaas, don't hesitate to reach out.
What's new: NovaBACKUP Corporation has partnered with Impossible Cloud to offer NovaBACKUP Managed Backup users a fully integrated cloud storage option hosted in Germany (or other regions in Europe, if needed).
The foundational quarter: ICN's Q3 2025 wrap-up. The moment of transition. The third quarter of 2025 was a definitive period for Impossible Cloud Network. Marked by the successful Mainnet launch and over $1.6B in trading volume across exchanges since launch, ICN transitioned from a visionary concept to a live, operational network. This launch provided immediate, tangible proof that a decentralized cloud can not only exist but is already scaling. The Mainnet launch was the essential first step toward providing the foundational layer for the next-gen internet and powering the AI era. ICN's first 30 days. ICN's Mainnet launch was not just hype but real infrastructure. In just 30 days. ICN shipped a working decentralized cloud protocol, already powering real use cases across DeFi, enterprise infra, and the broader Web3 ecosystem. From protocol activity to community engagement, the momentum has been tangible. These metrics reflect infrastructure being adopted, tokens being used to secure the network, and a decentralized protocol delivering performance at scale. Network growth. These figures confirm that ICN isn't just live, it's actively securing its place as a foundational layer. Powering real infra & Ecosystem Integrations. The quarter saw ICN immediately focus on injecting resources into the ecosystem, ensuring the utility of its network from day one. ICN x Aethir: HyperBuild Grants In partnership with Aethir, Impossible Cloud GmbH launched the HyperBuild Grants, a program dedicated to fueling innovation for builders. Impossible Cloud GmbH committed to giving away 10TB of decentralized cloud and $10K in GPU compute to five standout projects, representing a $20,000 package for the ecosystem. Are you a builder? Apply Here ICN x Base Cloud Grants: Less than three weeks after launch, ICN rolled out its first ecosystem initiative: the ICN x Base Cloud Grants. In partnership with Base, Impossible Cloud GmbH awarded 50TB of decentralized cloud to five standout projects, including Tiamonds, Paysats, Sandworm, Openbands, and Tanbii, each building real-world applications in Web3. Deepening Ecosystem Integrations: Each partnership brings more utility and composability to the ICN protocol: Aerodrome: Boosts $ICNT accessibility and deepens liquidity through next-gen AMM mechanics. GLIF: As a key DeFi integration, it enabled liquid staking for $ICNT (stICNT), making participation more accessible. Cygnus: Brings millions of Web2 users closer to decentralized infrastructure, making real-world UX meet scalable DePIN backends. Symbiotic: This shared security protocol unlocks cross-protocol staking economies, enabling new layers of composability. Ongoing improvements and what's next. Commitment to trust and security. To fully uphold its commitment to security and Digital Sovereignty, Impossible Cloud GmbH launched the Immunefi Bug Bounty Program. With a maximum bounty of $25,000 USD for critical smart contract vulnerabilities, this program invites the Web3 security community to battle-test its protocol and reinforce its integrity. Continuous improvement & roadmap. Impossible Cloud GmbH has initiated a continuous program of performance upgrades and UX improvements to make staking, deploying, and building on ICN smoother than ever. With Mainnet live, Impossible Cloud GmbH is just getting started - scale is next. New hardware classes and node types are joining the network, unlocking more flexibility and use cases. Impossible Cloud GmbH is integrating deeper with DeFi, AI, and core Web3 infrastructure protocols to further expand its ecosystem.
Impossible Cloud GmbH is thrilled to share that Impossible Cloud has been nominated for Storage Innovator of the Year at the Dutch IT Channel Awards!
