Flux is a Decentralized Web 3.0 network. It works as a decentralized computing system, providing scalable cloud infrastructure designed to be simple to build on, administer, and use for creating applications.  The Flux ecosystem brings together a set of computing offerings and blockchain-as-a-service tools built for practical, real-world scenarios. Within it you’ll find decentralized cloud computing, decentralized website hosting, decentralized nodes supporting dApps, and file storage. FluxOS, its mainnet, was launched in January 2018. Overall, Flux aims to make blockchain adoption easier and more efficient. To support that, the platform enables custom blockchains for Flux’s strategic partners, while independent developers can also start projects with minimal friction using the platform’s services.

The FLUX Proof-of-Work coin powers the full ecosystem and also acts as a governance token. It serves as the primary reward for participants involved in the Proof-of-Work consensus process implemented by Flux. The FLUX total supply is 440,000,000.

What are FLUX’s key features and how does it work?

FluxOS is a decentralized, scalable infrastructure where dApp creators, blockchain developers, and other teams can deploy their products. It operates as a second-layer operating system and a fully decentralized computational network. The FluxOS network is powered by FluxNodes, which drive the ecosystem. These nodes are distributed worldwide and are managed by Flux holders. They communicate with one another and help secure the network. With horizontal scaling, applications can keep running on the network even if a node goes offline unexpectedly. This happens because apps deployed on FluxOS are replicated automatically and become available without manual effort.

FluxOS also includes an API backend. That means applications can be managed and deployed through API and UI. FluxOS is compatible with, and fully interoperable with, any blockchain-so apps built for any chain can run on FluxOS.

What can Flux be used for?

FluxOS is fully open-source and built with Mongo, Express, Vut, and Node (MEVN Stack). As a result, it’s available to a wide range of developers across different backgrounds. 

The Flux network supports a variety of real use cases, such as:

Some applications already operating on the network include Rustpad, a collaborative code/text editor, Bibliogram, an Instagram data viewing utility, and others.
