Embracing Privacy and Anonymity With CUDOS Intercloud
In the dynamic landscape of cloud computing and blockchain technology, CUDOS stands out by prioritising privacy and anonymity. Our commitment to a no-KYC (Know Your Customer) approach ensures users can engage with our platform without revealing personal information. This blog delves into our values, the benefits of our no-KYC policy, payment options, private networks, and more, illustrating our dedication to our users’ privacy and security.
Our Core Values and Commitment
At CUDOS, we are driven by the core values of efficiency, sustainability, and decentralisation. Our mission is to revolutionise cloud computing and blockchain technology by harnessing the power of a global network of validators, developers, and cloud users, leveraging cutting-edge technology to power AI and other use cases. Our no-KYC policy is a testament to our commitment to these values, ensuring users can operate in an environment where privacy is paramount.
Decentralisation and Privacy: The Trustless System
Privacy is not just a feature at CUDOS; it’s built into our ethos. This approach empowers users to engage with our platform anonymously, offering numerous benefits:
- True Anonymity: Users can transact and interact without sharing personal details.
- Decentralisation: Reduces single points of failure, enhancing security and trust.
- Accessibility: Removes KYC barriers, making our platform accessible to users worldwide.
Our decentralised approach creates a trustless system where verification replaces the need for trust. Users can independently verify transactions without relying on a central authority, ensuring true privacy.
No-KYC Policy: Anonymity at Its Best
Our no-KYC policy ensures that users can interact with our platform without disclosing their identity, fostering a truly anonymous and secure environment. We don’t ask for an email or collect names; your wallet address is the only information associated with your account.
Embracing Web3 and Blockchain Ethos
The ethos of Web3 and blockchain is to enable anyone to operate in a permissionless and decentralised way. This is why CUDOS supports cryptocurrency payments and Web3 wallets for login. By embracing these technologies, we provide users with tools to interact with our platform seamlessly and securely without traditional financial and identification constraints.
Cryptocurrency Payment Options
CUDOS supports payments with various cryptocurrencies to complement our no-KYC policy, providing users with flexibility and security. The supported networks and tokens include:
- Osmosis: $CUDOS, $OSMO, $USDC.AXL
- CUDOS: $CUDOS
- Archway: $ARCH
- Cosmos Hub: $ATOM
- Ethereum: $USDT, $USDC
- Polygon: $USDT, $USDC
- Secret Network: $SCRT
This range of options allows users to choose their preferred cryptocurrency and avoid multiple transactions or conversions.
Private Networks: Enhanced Security and Efficiency
In our ongoing commitment to privacy and security, we introduced private networks to CUDOS Intercloud. This feature allows users to create secure, non-public networks for their virtual machines (VMs), enhancing security and offering cost-saving benefits.
Creating a Private Network: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Access the Networks Tab: Navigate to the Networks tab within the Intercloud platform.
- Create a Network: Click on “Create A Network” or “Create A Private Network.”
- Configuration: Choose a location, pick a name, and select a subnet for the range of IP addresses.
- Launch: Click Create, and your private network is ready to use. When setting up a new VM, simply select the newly created private network under networking options before launching.
This feature simplifies the management of multiple VMs, offering significant operational and cost efficiencies. You can read more about the recent updates to CUDOS Intercloud, like adding private networks, here.
The Value of Privacy
Why do we value privacy so highly? In today’s digital age, data breaches and privacy concerns are rampant. At CUDOS, we believe that privacy is a fundamental right. By providing a platform that values and protects user anonymity, we empower individuals and businesses to operate with confidence and security.
Most importantly, our biggest competitors like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle do not offer no-KYC, permissionless VMs, or the ability to create private networks. They do not respect the core values of blockchain, Web3, and decentralisation. Many projects previously had to use these centralised providers, limiting their ability to decentralise. We offer a way to become more truly decentralised, sustainably, and at a fraction of the cost.
Conclusion
CUDOS is more than just a cloud provider; we are pioneers in creating a secure, private, and inclusive digital ecosystem. Our no-KYC policy, diverse cryptocurrency payment options, and innovative private networks showcase our unwavering commitment to user privacy and security. But we aren’t done yet! Privacy and decentralisation are a spectrum, and our job is never finished. Our next step is to work towards becoming open source, continuing to build on our progress to decentralise and democratise cloud computing in Web3 and beyond.
