Powering the First Decentralized Marketplace for Computing Resources
iExec will announce the release of its Version 2 on May 29, 2018: it’s the first ever decentralized marketplace for computing power. Users are able to trade computing power just like any other commodity. Blockchain allows for a completely free and open marketplace, decentralized with zero fees and without any middleman influencing trade. When a deal is sealed on the marketplace, the computations are executed off-chain before iExec’s consensus protocol, ‘Proof-Of-Contribution’ (PoCo), validates them back on the blockchain. TFCloud will be one of the first ‘workers’ on the network after the release of the marketplace in V2. Soon, any machine will be able to become a worker and earn RLC for their contributions.
Today, TFCloud joins the initial group of private workers powering computations executed on the iExec network.
