Twentysix Cloud, a decentralized cloud marketplace powered by aleph.im, has launched today, offering a full range of blockchain-based storage, compute engine, indexing, and AI solutions for businesses and applications. The launch marks a significant step in bridging decentralized cloud solutions with the growing demand for computing resources.

What is Twentysix Cloud?

Twentysix Cloud is an all-in-one platform that provides users with access to a variety of decentralized cloud services, such as:

• Storage: Users can store and retrieve files securely and efficiently on the aleph.im network, which utilizes tens of independent nodes worldwide.
• Compute Engine: Users can run code and execute tasks on the aleph.im network, which leverages the power of distributed computing.
• Indexing: Users can index and query data on the aleph.im network, which supports both on-chain and off-chain data sources.
• AI: Users can access and deploy AI models on the aleph.im network, which offers a confidential and scalable environment for machine learning.

Twentysix Cloud aims to provide a versatile and robust architecture for a wide range of applications, such as:

• Web3: Users can build and host decentralized web applications on the aleph.im network, which ensures a secure, resilient, and transparent user experience.
• DeFi: Users can integrate and interact with decentralized finance protocols on the aleph.im network, which enables fast and low-cost transactions.
• NFT: Users can create and manage non-fungible tokens on the aleph.im network, which supports various standards and formats.
• Gaming: Users can develop and play immersive games on the aleph.im network, which offers high-performance and interactive features.

How does Twentysix Cloud work?

Twentysix Cloud operates on a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model, offering users the flexibility to pay only for the resources they use. This approach leads to lower costs due to the distributed nature of resources. Payments can be made in ALEPH, the native token of the network, or in stablecoins. This system, which charges by the millisecond, leverages Avalanche C-chain and Superfluid for optimal payment solutions.

Twentysix Cloud is enhancing its integration with EVM blockchains like Avalanche to facilitate global streaming payments. This enhancement enables a seamless Pay-As-You-Go payment system that operates effortlessly across node operators, who contribute to maintaining and securing the network independently.

Why is Twentysix Cloud important?

Twentysix Cloud is a pioneering product that sets a new standard for modern cloud infrastructures. It offers several advantages over traditional cloud services, such as:

• Decentralization: Twentysix Cloud eliminates centralized points of failure and intermediaries, ensuring data sovereignty and censorship resistance.
• Security: Twentysix Cloud encrypts and distributes data across multiple nodes, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.
• Scalability: Twentysix Cloud adapts to the changing demand and supply of resources, ensuring high availability and performance.
• Innovation: Twentysix Cloud enables new ways to build, deploy, and scale more effective models for AI, providing decentralized AI’s virtual agents and conversational AI products to all who wish to use it, in a confidential way.

Jonathan Schemoul, co-founder and CEO of aleph.im, shared, “Twentysix Cloud offers a wide range of products for companies who wish to use an alternative solution to traditional cloud services. Until today, our users needed to hold or stake tokens to use our solutions. With the introduction of our Pay-As-You-Go model, we’re excited to onboard more businesses and developers, providing easy access to a full Web3 cloud platform. Our product will incorporate DeFi components to facilitate stablecoin transactions and include fiat gateways to enhance ease of use.”

Jonathan added, “Our mission is to contribute to the open-cloud industry as a whole and drive innovation across the space, providing new ways to build, deploy, and scale more effective models for AI. By opening this technology, we are offering decentralized AI’s virtual agents and conversational AI products to all who wish to use it, in a confidential way.”

Twentysix Cloud is now live and ready to use. Users can visit the website and sign up for an account to start using the decentralized cloud services. For more information, users can also join the aleph.im community on Telegram, Twitter, and Discord.
