Iagon is a decentralized cloud storage and computing platform built on the Cardano blockchain, designed to create a shared economy where users and enterprises can securely store data or run computational tasks (e.g., AI/ML workloads) on a global network of nodes. Files are encrypted, sharded, and distributed across nodes to eliminate single points of failure, while providers earn rewards by contributing unused storage or processing power.
It bridges decentralization with enterprise-grade compliance (e.g., GDPR/MiCA), offering data sovereignty, privacy, and lower costs compared to centralized providers like AWS or Google Cloud. Powered by AI for dynamic pricing and resource allocation, Iagon positions itself as a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) leader on Cardano.
Iagon's core advantages stem from solving real pain points in centralized cloud services: high costs, data breaches, surveillance, and lack of control. Here's what makes it powerful:
Superior Security & Privacy: Data is client-side encrypted, sharded, and distributed—no single entity can access full files. This creates "many protected frozen lakes" instead of one vulnerable centralized "lake" (per CEO analogy).
Compliance for Enterprises: Features like geo-fencing (grouping nodes by region) ensure GDPR compliance and operational sovereignty—critical for regulated industries.
Cost Efficiency & Scalability: Utilizes idle global resources for cheaper storage/compute. Built on Cardano for low fees, sustainability, and scalability (vs. Ethereum's past issues).
AI Integration: Reinforcement learning optimizes pricing, node selection, and reliability—giving it an edge over competitors like Filecoin.
Dual Focus on Storage + Compute: Not just storage; it harnesses unused CPU/GPU for a "global supercomputer," ideal for AI tasks.
Real-World Traction: Partnerships with enterprises like Würth Group (potential $50–100M revenue in first years via royalties), Hamburg Volksbank, CloudCourt, and advisory from Ford Motor Company for legal data pilots.
Token Utility ($IAG): Used for payments, staking, rewards, and governance—driving network growth.
