Introduction


"CUDOS strives to seamlessly integrate the ownership economy of Web3 with sustainable cloud infrastructure. By utilizing data centers and idle resources, we can power next-generation experiences in gaming, rendering, AI, metaverses, node infrastructure, and various decentralised applications."


A Decentralised Application, or dApp, usually consists of two main components:

  1. The consensus-driven business logic and representation of value using tokens - this is built with Smart Contracts.
  2. The powerful stuff like web frontends, real-time 3D, rendering, model training - this is built with Cloud Infrastructure.

CUDOS provides a one-stop-shop for both components:

  1. CUDOS Network is a Layer-1, CosmosSDK-based blockchain, with CosmWasm smart contracts written in Rust.
  2. CUDOS Blockchain Compute (CBC) is a permissionless infrastructure for provisioning cloud resources from the Blockchain.

Quickstart
