Aleph Cloud is an open‑source peer‑to‑peer decentralized cloud infrastructure—transitioning from Aleph.im with a rebrand in April 2025—to deliver developer-first computing, storage, and inde…xing services without reliance on centralized providers. Built on a network of Core Channel Nodes (CCNs) and Compute Resource Nodes (CRNs), it offers features like encrypted file storage with IPFS integration, serverless and persistent virtual machines, GPU instances, and blockchain data indexing across multiple chains including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Polkadot, Base and BNB Chain. Developers integrate via SDKs in Python or TypeScript, CLI tools, or a Web Console that simplifies deployment. Data messages propagate through CCNs, which assign workloads to CRNs; payments are made using ALEPH tokens for compute, storage, and synchronization, while node operators are incentivized via staking. Aleph supports confidential computing via AMD SEV-enabled VMs, with pay-as-you-go billing in ALEPH or stablecoins on platforms like Avalanche, offering fees charged by the millisecond. In January 2024, it launched Twentysix Cloud—a marketplace aggregating storage, compute, AI, and indexing services with PAYG and DeFi style payments. By April 2025 the rebrand to Aleph Cloud reflected its expansion into full-stack cloud services and the launch of a $1 million accelerator program providing credits, GPUs and technical support to Web3 and AI startups via Soulbound access tokens. The network now powers over 700 global nodes across 12 countries and supports indexing, compute, and file hosting with enterprise-grade performance. Partnerships include Ubisoft for dynamic NFT metadata storage and gaming logic, HyperSwap for backend resilience, LibertAI for decentralized AI workloads, and Eclipse (a modular SVM‑based L2) for cross‑chain messaging and storage integration. Aleph’s design emphasizes censorship resistance, uptime resilience during AWS outages, multi‑chain compatibility, and developer-friendly tools so applications no longer rely on a single cloud provider. Since its origin as Aleph.im in 2020, it has supported major use cases in DeFi, AI, gaming and Web3 infrastructure. Its token‑based economics let users earn ALEPH by running nodes or staking, and pay for resources, while offering a decentralized entity for storage, compute and indexing services. Regular mission‑critical upgrades—including expanded GPU offerings, integrations with Eclipse, and GDPR compliance—have increased adoption. As of mid‑2025, Aleph Cloud serves as a scalable “supercloud” alternative to AWS or Firebase in Web3, enabling encrypted compute, decentralized databases, AI inference, indexing, and hosting for dApps and enterprises that require high performance without centralized lock‑in or censorship risk.
