What is IExec?
iExec is a decentralized cloud computing platform that enables individuals and enterprises to monetize their computing resources. It creates a marketplace where those with unused CPU cycles, applications, and datasets can lease them directly to parties looking to rent extra computing power.
On the iExec network, resource providers are able to connect directly with resource seekers looking to run distributed applications or utilize unused processing capacity. This eliminates the middlemen typical of centralized cloud services and allows providers to be compensated fairly for their contributions.
Some key features and benefits of iExec include:
- Decentralized infrastructure based on Ethereum blockchain and off-chain computing for scalability and privacy.
- Support for container-native, serverless applications as well as legacy applications.
- Marketplace connects resource providers and seekers directly for more efficient transactions.
- Providers can monetize CPUs, GPUs, storage, applications, and data sets.
- Seekers can access on-demand, affordable compute resources as needed.
By decentralizing the cloud, iExec aims to enable a fairer and more open market for computing power, one where anyone can contribute resources and get paid based on usage.
