The post Fluence Co-Founder On Why Cloudless Computing is the Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Decentralized computing has surged to the forefront as industries demand greater flexibility and autonomy beyond the reach of traditional cloud giants. Fluence, co-founded by Evgeny Ponomarev, is boldly challenging the dominance of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with its concept of “cloudless computing”—aggregating global compute power through an open, decentralized network. BeInCrypto interviewed Ponomarev to explore the rationale behind this groundbreaking approach, discussing hurdles faced, industry reactions, tokenomics, and the future of decentralized infrastructure. Ponomarev shared strategies Fluence employs to deliver cost savings, strengthen community governance, and integrate with Web3 protocols. Defining Cloudless Computing and Market Gaps At Fluence, we work in decentralized computing. We’ve built what we call a “cloudless” platform—a term we use to describe our alternative to traditional cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Essentially, it’s a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that offers developers and companies access to compute resources without relying on centralized cloud services. Think of it as the Uber or Airbnb of the cloud. Instead of relying on a single provider, our platform aggregates compute resources from a wide range of independent sources. It’s an open-source, permissionless protocol that enables developers to tap into these resources. Industries, Use Cases, and Web3 Focus Right now, we primarily target the Web3 market, which is a key focus of this conference. In the Web3 space, a core use case involves running nodes. Whether it’s layer one, layer two, roll-ups, or other blockchain solutions, they all rely on nodes—essentially instances of databases. People run these nodes in the cloud, on bare metal, or even on personal computers at times. What we offer is a reliable alternative to traditional cloud infrastructure for running these workloads. Specifically, node operators are a critical market segment for us within the Web3 ecosystem. But essentially, you can use this platform to…
