Aleph Cloud is a decentralized cloud computing platform designed to meet the needs of Web3 developers, AI projects, and modern digital infrastructure. Unlike traditional cloud services, Aleph Cloud offers a fully decentralized alternative that combines computing power, storage, and serverless functions with confidentiality and cross-chain accessibility.
At the core of Aleph Cloud is a peer-to-peer network powered by two node types: Core Channel Nodes (CCNs), which route messages and handle consensus, and Compute Resource Nodes (CRNs), which deliver virtual machines, GPU processing, and decentralized storage. This architecture enables trustless computing and global scalability without relying on centralized providers.
Aleph Cloud supports confidential computing using technologies like AMD SEV, allowing developers to run encrypted virtual machines where both memory and disk remain protected. It also offers on-demand, stateless serverless functions, making it easy to deploy microservices and decentralized applications without managing infrastructure.
The platform provides scalable GPU instances, decentralized VPS hosting, and storage volumes ranging from 1 MB to 20 TB. Hosting solutions support modern frontend frameworks like React, Vue, and Next.js, enabling fast deployment of dApps and websites on Web3-native infrastructure.
Aleph Cloud’s ecosystem is powered by the ALEPH token. This utility token is used to pay for services, stake to secure the network, and reward node operators. Users can earn ALEPH by running nodes or contributing computing resources, while developers can integrate services using SDKs, APIs, and CLI tools.
