When the shift happens, enterprises could slash infrastructure costs by 20-40% compared to traditional cloud services. No middleman fees, no centralized gatekeepers. What you get instead: swarms of AI agents running on decentralized rails, creating impact at the scale of $4.5 billion—think IBM-level transformation.
But here's the bigger picture. The agent economy isn't just a buzzword anymore. It's becoming the backbone of a new internet architecture where autonomous systems coordinate, transact, and scale without permission layers.
ICP and IC? They're positioning themselves for the top tier. Some are already calling it "Icy" in casual conversation—a rebrand that sticks when fiat folks need something simple to remember.
Internet Cloud infrastructure might just be the quiet revolution that reshapes how corporations and developers think about compute power.

Speaking of this 20-40% cost reduction, it sounds quite tempting, but how many companies can truly implement it?
Decentralization is indeed exciting, but I'm worried that if problems arise, no one will take responsibility...
The name "Icy" is really catchy, much easier to remember than ICP haha
Only when the agent economy truly takes off can we see the real results. For now, everyone is still in the pie-in-the-sky stage, right?
The permissionless world sounds wonderful, but in practice, it all depends on each company's technical capabilities.

Ngl, this time ICP's move really has some substance. Who can withstand a 20-40% cost cut...
---
Has the agent economy truly taken off? It still seems to depend on implementation; don't just hype the concept again.
---
I like the icy meme haha, finally a name that an ordinary person can remember.
---
Wait, so decentralized cloud really wants to take down AWS and the others... It's a bit far-fetched, but I believe you for now.
---
Swarms of AI agents sound impressive, but who will pay for the computing power costs?
---
IBM-level transformation? Wake up, brother. First, get the application running before bragging.

Wow, cutting costs by 20-40%? If that's true, how many people would be unemployed, haha.
But "Icy" is indeed a catchy name... much easier to remember than ICP, fiat people definitely need this kind of thing.
Agent economy is everywhere now, but the key is who can really implement it?
Wait, a scale of 4.5B is equivalent to IBM level? Playing with these numbers is quite fun.
Eliminating permission layers... sounds good, but does it really make hackers happy?

ngl, this way of calling it "Icy" is a bit more elegant, much smoother than ICP... If they can truly cut costs by 20-40%, then I'll just sit back and watch the show.

Wow, cutting costs by 20-40%? If this really happens, traditional cloud services will be panic-stricken.
ICP has good timing with this move; now it's just a matter of whether it can withstand the subsequent tests.
The name "Icy"... alright, at least it's easier to remember than IntersomethingChain.

Reducing costs by 20-40% sounds great... but I'm just worried it might be like a mirage in a mirror or a moon reflected on the water.
However, the agent economy is definitely moving forward. The decentralized approach truly outperforms traditional cloud by several lengths.
As for ICP... let's wait and see who can really break through.

A 20-40% cost reduction sounds great, but can it really shake off the middlemen... By the way, I've never heard of the "Icy" meme.

A 20-40% cost reduction sounds great, but who will ensure these AI agents don't cause trouble? Decentralization sounds appealing, but when it really gets running...

ngl, if this thing really gets implemented, can the cost be reduced by 40%? That's a bit doubtful, but the AI agent logic is indeed excellent.
