Flux FLUX
Cloud computing and network participation.
Flux provides distributed computing services. FLUX is its native coin, used for network activity and parts of its computing economy.
What is Flux?
Flux connects application deployments with computing resources supplied by node operators. FLUX supports payments for computing services and network participation, including node collateral. The ecosystem also has parallel assets on other blockchains, which are distinct network versions.
Operating a node requires resources and ongoing work; rewards do not guarantee profit. Parallel assets add network and conversion risks. Holding FLUX alone is not ownership of a cloud business.
