Case Study: icm.onl
What It Is
icm.onl is a purpose-built platform for launching functioning markets around real internet-native entities — tools, creators, apps, and communities. These are not meme tokens. They're markets around real work.
icm.onl was created as tokenization went mainstream — but without infrastructure for credible actors. The goal: let functioning builders and public figures tokenize themselves without needing to sell shares or raise capital.
"If all money is made up, there should be a way to price relevance, failure, and momentum in the ecosystem we use every day."
