Key points
- Computecoin addresses the infrastructure gap where Web3 and metaverse applications currently run on centralized Web2 cloud providers like AWS and Google Cloud.
- The platform aggregates computing resources from data centers, crypto mining operations, and decentralized storage networks across 25+ countries using a unified API.
- Merged mining technology allows Filecoin miners to simultaneously mine Computecoin tokens while continuing their existing mining operations without conflict.
- Computecoin's testnet, launched in November 2021, accumulated computing power exceeding Japan's Fugaku supercomputer within four months with over 200,000 community providers.
- The platform provides developer tools with familiar Web2-style APIs and SDKs to reduce the learning curve for deploying applications on decentralized infrastructure.
In their own words
“It doesn't make sense: with Web3 applications running on Web2 infrastructure, of course you're going to suffer from these limitations.”
“The total computing power on our testnet is already larger than the number one supercomputer in the world, Fugaku in Japan.”
