[Fluence](https://fluence.network/?ref=blog.fluence.network) is the first decentralized cloudless computing platform that provides an alternative to the internet oligopolists by removing the risks of centralized control. We designed and built Fluence from first principles, ensuring trustlessness via crypto-economic incentives and using cryptographic proofs to provide verifiability for all computations without sacrificing performance. This has resulted in one of the most innovative protocol designs on the market. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through the Fluence architecture and the novel concepts that constitute it and make the cloudless experience possible. We’ll also break down the steps we’ve taken to put this architecture into place.
