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.
Flux is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain and Web3 infrastructure network that supports scalable application hosting, Proof-of-Work mining, and compute resource marketplaces. It evolved from ZelCash and focuses on decentralized cloud services.
Flux began as ZelCash, launched in 2018 as a community-led fork of Zcash. In 2021, it rebranded to Flux to reflect its broader role as a Web3 platform offering decentralized compute and cloud infrastructure services.

Flux uses ZelHash, a modified version of Equihash 125,4, designed to be ASIC-resistant. The network uses Proof-of-Work mining and produces blocks approximately every two minutes.
FluxOS is a decentralized operating system that allows developers to deploy Docker-based dApps across multiple chains. It supports a full MEVN-stack, cross-chain scaling, and is governed by the Flux community through XDAO proposals.
FluxNodes are decentralized compute nodes split into three tiers (Cumulus, Nimbus, and Stratus) based on hardware specs and FLUX collateral. They receive a portion of block rewards for running apps and securing the network.
Each block emits 75 FLUX, split evenly: 50% goes to miners and 50% to FluxNode operators. Node rewards are further divided by tier: Cumulus (7.5%), Nimbus (12.5%), and Stratus (22.5%).
No. FLUX has a capped supply of 440 million tokens. All tokens have already been minted, and block rewards are halved approximately every 2.5 years to manage long-term emission.
FluxEdge is a Proof-of-Useful-Work service that connects GPU owners with users needing compute power for AI, machine learning, and rendering tasks. It leverages Kubernetes for orchestration and supports on-demand deployments.
ZelCore is the official wallet, offering non-custodial support and hardware wallet integration. FLUX is also supported by MetaMask (via Flux RPC), Trust Wallet, Atomic, Guarda, Exodus, Ledger, and Trezor.
Developers can launch Docker-based applications using FluxOS, participate in decentralized governance via XDAO, and access FluxEdge compute for off-chain workloads. The network supports cross-chain dApps and custom infrastructure builds.
FLUX is listed on major exchanges including Binance, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate.io, and Crypto.com. Trading pairs include FLUX/USDT and FLUX/BTC, and it is supported across over 50 trading markets.
Flux is community-governed. Around 94.7% of the token supply is held by users, with the remaining allocated to the Flux Foundation (2.9%), exchanges (1.7%), and the team (0.7%). On-chain governance is conducted through XDAO.
