Quick Fact
Flux operates a vast decentralized network comprising over 15,000 nodes worldwide, delivering more than 108,000 CPU cores, 288 terabytes of RAM, and 6.7 petabytes of storage. This extensive infrastructure supports a range of services, including decentralized application hosting, storage solutions, and computational tasks, all secured by the innovative Proof-of-Useful-Work (PoUW) consensus mechanism.
Flux is a next-generation decentralized cloud infrastructure platform designed to power the Web3 ecosystem. It enables developers to deploy and scale applications on a secure, censorship-resistant, and community-operated network—eliminating the need for centralized cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
As a flagship example of the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) model, Flux turns distributed hardware into a reliable backbone for decentralized compute, storage, and application hosting.
Flux provides an alternative to traditional cloud infrastructure through a decentralized network of over 15,000+ FluxNodes operated by individuals and organizations around the globe. These nodes collectively deliver:
100,000+ CPU cores
6.7+ petabytes of decentralized storage
288+ TB of RAM
This robust foundation powers everything from dApps and oracles to AI workloads, marketplaces, data analytics tools, and blockchain nodes.
FluxOS: A decentralized operating system that orchestrates the deployment and lifecycle of applications across FluxNode infrastructure.
FluxNodes: The compute engine of the network—anyone can contribute hardware, run nodes, and earn FLUX tokens.
FluxDrive: A decentralized file storage layer built on IPFS, enabling secure, immutable file storage.
FluxEdge: A new layer offering decentralized access to GPU compute—ideal for AI, machine learning, and rendering workloads.
Zelcore Wallet: A non-custodial, multi-chain wallet integrated into the Flux ecosystem for managing assets and accessing tools.
Flux DAO: Community governance ensures that updates and proposals are voted on transparently by FLUX token holders.
Unlike traditional Proof of Work models that rely on energy-intensive mining, Flux is pioneering a Proof of Useful Work consensus mechanism. This ensures that real computational resources—used for hosting websites, apps, and running workloads—are rewarded, making the network both efficient and eco-conscious.
As demand for decentralized compute and data sovereignty grows, Flux provides the critical infrastructure to support this shift. Whether you're building a DeFi protocol, launching a DAO, running an AI model, or deploying a decentralized marketplace—Flux offers the compute, storage, and reliability to scale.
It’s not just cloud computing. It’s cloud reimagined—permissionless, distributed, and governed by the community.
