From Hostname to Container: How Your App Gets Its Address on Flux
A request for myapp.app.runonflux.io finds a container on an independent machine in seconds. The path, hop by hop: registry, domain manager, health-checked routing, certificates, direct game DNS, the in-app mesh, and private deployments next.
Deploy Your First App on Flux
Four ways to get an application running on the decentralized cloud, from typing a sentence to pushing to Git or asking your AI agent — from $0.99 a month, with the price shown before you commit.
How to Run a FluxNode in 2026
The network has passed 7,000 nodes. What it takes to add yours: the three tiers and their hardware, the four ways to take part — ArcaneOS, legacy, Titan staking from 50 FLUX, or a managed node — and what operators earn.
One Live, One Standing By: How Flux Keeps Your App Online
Two letters at the start of a storage path — g: — turn on Flux’s primary/standby mode, used by 290 public applications. How data stays in sync, how a primary is elected safely, and how your domain follows it.
ArcaneOS: How a Flux Node Proves What It Is
811 of the 1,841 applications on Flux are private enterprise deployments that only ArcaneOS nodes can run. Secure Boot, a TPM-sealed encrypted disk and a verified root filesystem — three layers that let a node prove what it is.
Science on Flux: Protein Folding on a Decentralized Cloud
27 protein-folding and Rosetta deployments run on Flux, using around 9% of the fleet’s committed CPU. Why distributed science fits a decentralized cloud so naturally — and what it says about AI.
What Actually Makes a Machine a Flux Node
Not a contract — a lock. The three tiers, the 88.5 million FLUX behind them, the 1,195 applications they run, and the consequence of weight following collateral that most people miss.
A Program Can Hold a Key. It Cannot Hold a Corporate Account.
The one sentence the whole Flux rebuild hangs off — why paying with a signed transaction instead of a billing relationship makes an AI agent a first-class customer, and which parts of that already ship.
Ten Chains Become Two: Parallel Assets, Explained
Ethereum and BNB Chain survive; eight chains retire in stages through 2027. Which balances need action, how much is actually exposed (2.79%), and what the new mint-and-burn bridge does and does not guarantee.
Progressive Node Rewards: When Usage Starts Paying the Machines
On 1 July 2027, at block 3,787,502, consensus starts taking 20% of every application payment into a pool that pays operators. What changes, why that block, and why every node in a tier draws the same share.
Inside the Flux Cloud MCP Server: How It Actually Works
The fifteen tools, the five steps of a deployment, how private applications are handled, and why the deploy tool plans by default. A detailed look at how an AI agent deploys to the decentralized cloud.
Can a CPU-Native Model Beat Ours? We Measured It on Flux
Two weeks measuring CPU-native ternary language models on real Flux nodes: a model running at three times our previous generation speed, a better model for our docs assistant, and two fixes to contribute upstream.
Synthetic Data in AI
Synthetic data is artificially generated from real-world events, making it easier to train models.
Multimodal AI Explained
Multimodal AI can represent, interpret, generate, and reason across multiple data formats.
AI Detectors Explained
AI detectors analyze writing samples to see the amount of text generated by a model vs. written by a human.
