Get a 100k Flux grant for deploying your app on the Flux network

Flux has opened up applications for developers to get a 100,000 Flux (~$10,000 at time of writing) grant for creating and deploying something awesome on the Flux network.

UPDATE 15 AUG 2021: 100,000 Flux now worth ~$14,000
UPDATE 22 AUG 2021: 100,000 Flux now worth ~$19,000

If you've got the ideas, skills and motivation to build something truly unique, then Flux's decentrealized cloud network is the place to build it.

What is Flux?

Flux is a powerful global decentralized computing network currently made up of over 1650 community-run, decentralized nodes powered by the revolutionary second layer operating system: FluxOS.

Each node is capable of hosting dockerized applications with FluxOS ensuring that a set number of containers are run across the network. This ensures true decentralization and that your app is always available.

The Flux Network currently has close to 10,000 vCores, 30TB RAM and 1,000TB of SSD storage available for apps to consume.

Powering the ecosystem is the Flux blockchain, a Proof of Work chain that is used for rewarding miners and node operators, payment for compute resources and much more.

Apps already on the Flux Network

The Flux network already hosts dozens of apps and aspects of blockchain infrastructure for other projects. Flux can run any hardened dockerized image, so the possibilities of what you can build are endless.

They recently completed a 20 dapps in 20 days challenge which 20 new apps added to the network, including numerous games. In fact, Flux is perfect for hosting online games and even has some Minecraft servers currently running on the network.

As mentioned above, Flux also hosts aspects of other Crypto projects infrastructure, the best example of which is Kadena. There are hundreds of Kadena nodes currently being run on the Flux Network.

100k Flux grants

To keep the ball rolling after the 20 dapps in 20 days challenge, Flux is looking for the next killer decentralized application and is inviting developers to submit their ideas to be in with a chance of getting one of those 100k $FLUX grants.

It can be a single app, a platform/system consisting of a combination of apps or something else entirely as long as it harnesses the strengths of a decentralized cloud and helps to grow the network.

Grants are give for the development proposals that are greenlighted by the community DAO and are paid in phases at key project milestones with the final amount paid on the final production deployment.
