📂Transparency Info | Revenue, Funding, Investors, etc

ℹ️ At Spark IBC (docs), the team behind ICI, we've chosen to reject all investment proposals, upholding our commitment to impartiality. We believe in being accountable only to our community and the projects that choose to collaborate with us. We're entirely funded through grants, community pool funds, and public revenue channels, ensuring our dedication remains towards the community.

ICI Public funding to date

ICI has only raised funds through public sources, which are listed here. All additional expenditures have come out of the founders personal pockets, and thus, are not listed publicly.

Traditional revenue streams

ICI's longterm sustainability will come from time-tested traditional revenue streams, not risky tokenomics and/or DeFi. This includes things like verification for projects, which benefits the end-users as well, in addition to standard web2 things like add placements and search priority. Read more details here.
