The Flux Ecosystem is a suite of decentralized computing services and blockchain-as-a-service solutions together to offer an interoperable, decentralized AWS-like development environment. Flux utilizes a native POW coin to power this ecosystem, providing incentive for hardware hosters, governance on-chain, and bad actor mitigation via staking requirements for running hardware. The Flux operating system runs on top of Linux to provide the network with verified, enterprise-grade compute power and utilizes the blockchain to ensure transparency in governance operations. Flux node operators can choose from 3 tiers of hardware requirements to stand up after providing the necessary Flux capital soft-locked in their wallet. This allows almost anyone to be rewarded for providing hardware to the network, from anywhere in the world.
The network currently boasts over 200TB of SSD storage, 3500 vCores of CPU power, and 10TB of RAM. Flux utilizes this computing power to run our version of decentralized applications (Dapps) via Docker images. Node operators can choose which Dapps they wish to run, and Flux load-balances certain Dapps across the network that provide additional incentives to node ops via coin distributions on top of the Flux rewards. The rewards to operators increase as the network usage increases, effectively diversifying operator profits.
