Databases on a Decentralized Cloud
How Flux runs PostgreSQL with Patroni high availability and clustered MySQL today, and where the roadmap goes next: managed Postgres and MongoDB in one deployment step, and RPC, archive and indexing services.
From Hostname to Container: How Your App Gets Its Address on Flux
A request for myapp.app.runonflux.io finds a container on an independent machine in seconds. The path, hop by hop: registry, domain manager, health-checked routing, certificates, direct game DNS, the in-app mesh, and private deployments next.
Deploy Your First App on Flux
Four ways to get an application running on the decentralized cloud, from typing a sentence to pushing to Git or asking your AI agent — from $0.99 a month, with the price shown before you commit.
How to Run a FluxNode in 2026
The network has passed 7,000 nodes. What it takes to add yours: the three tiers and their hardware, the four ways to take part — ArcaneOS, legacy, Titan staking from 50 FLUX, or a managed node — and what operators earn.
One Live, One Standing By: How Flux Keeps Your App Online
Two letters at the start of a storage path — g: — turn on Flux’s primary/standby mode, used by 290 public applications. How data stays in sync, how a primary is elected safely, and how your domain follows it.
ArcaneOS: How a Flux Node Proves What It Is
811 of the 1,841 applications on Flux are private enterprise deployments that only ArcaneOS nodes can run. Secure Boot, a TPM-sealed encrypted disk and a verified root filesystem — three layers that let a node prove what it is.
Science on Flux: Protein Folding on a Decentralized Cloud
27 protein-folding and Rosetta deployments run on Flux, using around 9% of the fleet’s committed CPU. Why distributed science fits a decentralized cloud so naturally — and what it says about AI.
What Actually Makes a Machine a Flux Node
Not a contract — a lock. The three tiers, the 88.5 million FLUX behind them, the 1,195 applications they run, and the consequence of weight following collateral that most people miss.
A Program Can Hold a Key. It Cannot Hold a Corporate Account.
The one sentence the whole Flux rebuild hangs off — why paying with a signed transaction instead of a billing relationship makes an AI agent a first-class customer, and which parts of that already ship.
Ten Chains Become Two: Parallel Assets, Explained
Ethereum and BNB Chain survive; eight chains retire in stages through 2027. Which balances need action, how much is actually exposed (2.79%), and what the new mint-and-burn bridge does and does not guarantee.
Progressive Node Rewards: When Usage Starts Paying the Machines
On 1 July 2027, at block 3,787,502, consensus starts taking 20% of every application payment into a pool that pays operators. What changes, why that block, and why every node in a tier draws the same share.
Inside the Flux Cloud MCP Server: How It Actually Works
The fifteen tools, the five steps of a deployment, how private applications are handled, and why the deploy tool plans by default. A detailed look at how an AI agent deploys to the decentralized cloud.
Can a CPU-Native Model Beat Ours? We Measured It on Flux
Two weeks measuring CPU-native ternary language models on real Flux nodes: a model running at three times our previous generation speed, a better model for our docs assistant, and two fixes to contribute upstream.
Synthetic Data in AI
Synthetic data is artificially generated from real-world events, making it easier to train models.
Multimodal AI Explained
Multimodal AI can represent, interpret, generate, and reason across multiple data formats.
