What is FluxEdge?

What is FluxEdge?

FluxEdge is a decentralized GPU compute marketplace built by InFlux Technologies (Flux). It connects users who need computational power for AI, machine learning, rendering, and other intensive workloads with providers who have underutilized GPU hardware. Think of it as a decentralized alternative to AWS, GCP, or Azure GPU instances — but powered by a global network of independent providers rather than centralized data centers.

Core Value Proposition

• •Up to 90% cheaper than traditional cloud GPU providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• •Zero egress fees — unlimited data transfer included in all pricing, no surprise bandwidth bills
• •No vendor lock-in — standard Docker containers, no proprietary services or APIs to depend on
• •Data sovereignty — full control over where and how your data is stored and processed
• •Dual payment — pay with fiat (Stripe, PayPal) or crypto ($FLUX with deposit bonus)
• •Sustainability — repurposes idle GPU resources via "Proof of Useful Work" (PoUW)

How It Fits in the Flux Ecosystem

FluxEdge is one of three core compute services in the Flux ecosystem. FluxCloud provides decentralized app hosting on shared infrastructure (lightweight containers). FluxEdge provides dedicated machine rentals with GPU support for intensive workloads. FluxCore is the desktop application that providers use to connect their hardware to the FluxEdge marketplace. Together, they form a complete decentralized cloud computing stack.

Network Scale

Getting Started as a Renter

1. 1

   Create an account

   Sign up at console.fluxedge.ai. Set up 2FA and an anti-phishing code for security.

2. 2

   Deposit funds

   Add balance via Stripe (credit/debit card), PayPal, or $FLUX cryptocurrency. FLUX deposits earn a bonus percentage.

3. 3

   Browse machines

   Filter by GPU model, VRAM, CPU cores, region, price, and reliability score.

4. 4

   Rent and deploy

   Select a machine, deploy your workload via Quick Launch templates or custom Docker/YAML configuration.

Getting Started as a Provider

1. 1

   Install FluxCore

   Download and install the FluxCore desktop app on your GPU machine (Windows, Linux, or macOS).

2. 2

   Run benchmarks

   FluxCore benchmarks your hardware (AI Training, AI Inference, Rendering) to determine pricing and marketplace listing.

3. 3

   Join the marketplace

   Subscribe to service categories (AI, Rendering, Cloud Gaming) and join an available Kubernetes cluster in your region.

4. 4

   Earn rewards

   Get paid when users rent your machine. Withdraw as $FLUX or transfer to your own FluxEdge balance.
