Is Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure the Killer dApp for Web3?

The transition from web2 to web3 seems like a monumental shift for many organizations and although Amazon seemed to replace Radio Shack very quickly, many companies are still struggling to build the infrastructure needed to enter the world of decentralization. 

Well that is where our next guest comes in Daniel Keller, who is the co-founder of Flux, a decentralized cloud infrastructure, sat down with Ian Andrews (Chief Marketing Officer, Chainalysis) and explained how Flux may be the Amazon AWS of the blockchain. 

Daniel explains the difference between centralized and decentralized cloud infrastructure and how companies are using his technology for a wide range of tasks, from setting up a word press site to facilitating crypto and NFT transactions. Daniel emphasizes the need to keep cloud infrastructure affordable and explains why Flux moved away from their privacy centric origins.
