What Flux does

Flux is a Web3 infrastructure company that operates a decentralized cloud computing platform built on a globally distributed network of user-operated nodes. As of May 2026, the network comprises 6,927 FluxNodes running FluxOS and ArcaneOS across 67 countries and five continents, providing 55K CPU cores, 187TB RAM, and 3PB SSD of aggregate capacity. The platform is positioned as a censorship-resistant alternative to centralized hyperscalers, offering zero single points of failure, automatic failover, complete data sovereignty, and competitive usage-based pricing.

The product suite centers on FluxCloud (core decentralized cloud for Docker application deployment), complemented by FluxAI (private, contextually-aware AI), FluxEdge (distributed GPU compute for AI/ML at the edge), FluxDrive (decentralized storage), Flux Marketplace (on-chain dApp store), ArcaneOS (OS-level encrypted volumes for enterprise security), and Flux Wallets (Zelcore, SSP Wallet). Developers interact through a self-serve FluxCloud dashboard, a comprehensive RESTful API (v6.6.1) supporting multiple wallet-based and Firebase authentication methods, and Flux Deployment Academy for onboarding.

Flux monetizes via usage-based compute resource sales (CPU, RAM, storage) starting at $0.99/month, with tiered discounts (20% for small apps, 10% for medium) and an additional 5% discount when paying with FLUX tokens. ArcaneOS enterprise deployments add premium pricing for encrypted volumes, private Docker images, and encrypted secrets. The go-to-market is community-led and API-first, with Discord, GitHub, Flux Docs, and Flux Deployment Academy as primary developer engagement channels. InFlux Technologies provides 24/7 managed services for enterprise scaling. Customer segments span Web3 developers (primary), WordPress site owners, gaming communities, and a smaller enterprise tier. The company was founded in 2018, is headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom, has 51-100 employees, and operates as InFlux Technologies legally.

Revenue model

1. Compute Resource Sales: Customers pay for CPU, RAM, and storage resources consumed on the decentralized network. Pricing is usage-based with pay-as-you-go model starting at $0.99/month. Costs are calculated based on resource allocation (CPU cores, memory in MB, storage in GB) with tier discounts for smaller applications and additional 5% discount when paying with FLUX tokens.
2. Enterprise Node Services: Enterprise mode deployment to ArcaneOS nodes with enhanced security features (encrypted volumes, private Docker images, encrypted secrets) increases deployment cost based on application resources.

Core offering

Flux operates a decentralized Web3 cloud computing platform built on a global network of thousands of user-operated FluxNodes running FluxOS and ArcaneOS. Customers deploy Docker containers, game servers, WordPress sites, blockchain nodes, and AI/ML workloads via the FluxCloud dashboard, paying usage-based fees for CPU, RAM, and storage resources starting at $0.99/month. Enterprise customers can deploy to ArcaneOS nodes with OS-level encrypted volumes for enhanced data sovereignty and security.

Product overview

Flux operates as a platform-plus-modules architecture offering decentralized Web3 cloud infrastructure. The core platform is FluxCloud, powered by globally distributed FluxNodes operating across 67 countries. Key modules include FluxAI for private AI/ML intelligence, FluxEdge for edge GPU computing, FluxDrive for decentralized storage, and Flux Marketplace for on-chain dApp discovery. Additional services include Managed Services (24/7 support), ArcaneOS (secure container OS with encrypted volumes), WordPress hosting, and Flux Wallets. Developers can programmatically interact with the network via the Flux API, while Flux Docs and Flux Deployment Academy provide documentation and learning resources.

Others

• Google Cloud Platform:

Direct peers

• Akash Network: Decentralized cloud computing marketplace using Cosmos-based blockchain where users lease compute from providers. Direct competitor in the same decentralized compute/category with overlapping target customers (Web3 developers seeking AWS alternatives).
• Filecoin: Decentralized storage network using IPFS, competing with FluxDrive. Comparable decentralized storage/compute infrastructure targeting Web3 developers, with a similar model of token rewards incentivizing independent storage providers.
• Render Network: Decentralized GPU rendering and AI/compute network built on Solana. Competes directly with FluxEdge for distributed GPU compute workloads (AI inference, rendering) and shares the same DePIN token-incentivized model.
• Ankr: Web3 infrastructure provider offering decentralized node hosting, RPC services, and GPU compute. Targets a similar developer base with overlapping DePIN-style compute and node-as-a-service offerings competing with FluxCloud and FluxEdge.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Web Services (AWS): Dominant centralized cloud provider and primary incumbent Flux positions itself against. Flux's value proposition explicitly contrasts with AWS, and they overlap in serving application deployment, container hosting, and compute workloads.

Emerging players

• io.net: Decentralized GPU network purpose-built for AI/ML workloads. Competes directly with FluxEdge for distributed GPU inference and training, targeting AI engineers and machine learning practitioners needing elastic GPU supply.
• Storj: Decentralized cloud object storage provider competing with FluxDrive. Offers S3-compatible API and enterprise-grade SLAs, representing a more compliance-oriented counterpart to Flux's decentralized storage offerings.
• iExec RLC: Decentralized marketplace for cloud computing resources leveraging blockchain for trusted computing. Competes in decentralized compute with similar enterprise/censorship-resistance positioning targeting Web3 and traditional workloads.
