Flux (FLUX) is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain and Web3 cloud infrastructure network designed to host scalable dApps, virtual machines, and compute-intensive workloads. Originally launched as ZelCash in 2018, Flux rebranded in 2021 to reflect its expanded focus on decentralized compute, governance, and infrastructure services. It uses a modified Equihash Proof-of-Work algorithm (ZelHash) combined with a three-tier node system (Cumulus, Nimbus, Stratus) to deliver both network security and high-availability application hosting. Flux’s core platform, FluxOS, enables developers to deploy cross-chain applications using Docker, while FluxEdge offers Proof-of-Useful-Work compute resources for AI, rendering, and enterprise workloads. With over 94% of its token supply held by the community and an emission-halving mechanism, Flux emphasizes fair distribution, decentralized governance, and practical utility across the blockchain stack.
