IAGON The Blockchain SuperComputer Network

Blockchain and cryptocurrency has been the tech buzzword of the past 2 years now and is showing no sign of slowing down. What started as a digital currency and asset has slowly begun to seep into almost every kind of internet application out there from previous buzz fields like Cloud computing, big data, Articifical Intellegence, Machine Learning, IOT and more.

All these break out technologies are still in their infancy and we're gradually starting to reap the benefits of its value generation properties. Yet in these experimental times some companies are looking to take even bigger risks combining concpets from various new fields and creating something new. One of these projects is IAGON!

A brief introduction to IAGON

Accessablity for all

As mentioned before projects that involve big data, IOT, AI and machine learning will be huge value generators for various industries but for every company to want to set up their own environment requires plenty of resources. Resources that are now being duplicated and going to waste in an essense as everyone tries to reinvent the wheel instead of leveraging off exisitng resources.

Having a global supercomputer that is accessable to all is not only a resource the world needs but a effectively a more optimized way to leverage resources. As we all have storage, bandwith and processing power left unused literally every second of everyday allowing us to lend it to the world in order to help solve problems is an admirable concept. This will allow users to pay for just the right amount of resources they need to run their projects without having to invest big on tech. This allows smaller dev houses, start ups and independent developers the opportunity to create tech that can be scaled easily and effectively lead to more break throughs in data and technology more often. Pushing various industries forward in the way they compete processes and analyse data.

How IAGON will work

IAGON uses blockchain and the utility token concept in order to 1 raise capital and then 2 create a functional ecosystem for users to gain access to a decentralized, open-sourced cloud computing and storage services platform. IAGON will essentially be a marketplace for computing resources by collating those who offer their unused computing power as well as storage space to create a "super-computer network that is accessable to all at a reasonable price for leasing and rewarding those who lease their resources to the network. It is essentailly a marketplace for computing resources but with a few extra bells and whistles.

My conclusion on IAGON

I think its a fairly ambitious project that may be ahead of its time in leveraging plenty of speculative technologies at this point. The project has its merits and I could definitely see the benefits of having such a powerful decentralised computing network with unrestricted access for all. However I have to be realistic when we look at the market and the competition this project is up against firstly by other niche blockchain projects like SIA, Storaj, Golem & Substratum while IA, IOT and Cloud computing projects are a dime a dousin as well as the big centralised players like Google, Amazon and Microsoft. There will be stiff competition and it won't be an easy ride for a project of IAGON to reach the scale it hopes to achieve.
