The future of AI and Web3 depends on one thing, Compute.And today, four projects are shaping that decentralized future.
Fluence $FLT
Fluence is redefining compute as a public good, not a corporate service
It’s a fully decentralized network where anyone can deploy workloads on nodes across the world, no middlemen, no gatekeepers.
Built for developers who want open, verifiable, and censorship resistant compute.
Targets both AI and Web3 apps with modular execution and WASM-based containers.
Professional providers + transparent pricing = true scalability.
Fluence is what AWS would’ve been if it were community-owned.
Akash Network $AKT
Akash acts as the “Airbnb of compute.”
It lets anyone rent unused GPU or CPU power at market-driven prices ,perfect for AI inference and DePIN workloads.
Open marketplace for compute resources
Focused on GPU demand surge
Great for cost-effective deployments
Cysic $CYS
Cysic powers ComputeFi ,where computation itself becomes a tradeable asset.
It’s bridging hardware and zero-knowledge computation with GPU-accelerated proving.
Hardware-anchored economy for ZK and AI workloads
Decentralized GPU layer for proof verification
Fueling the next generation of privacy-focused compute
Golem $GLM
The pioneer of decentralized compute.
Golem lets anyone share their idle power for rendering, AI, or data processing tasks.
One of the earliest distributed compute networks
Great example of grassroots infrastructure
Focused on individual participation
Why Fluence Stands Apart:
While others focus on renting compute, Fluence focuses on running it.
Its architecture enables real execution, coordination, and verifiable performance ,the missing link between decentralized storage, data, and AI
The result?
An open, efficient, censorship resistant alternative to the cloud ,owned by its users, powered by open protocols.
