Decentralized computes
4 decentralized computes with the facts we checked on each project’s own pages.
This directory lists every decentralized compute we have a profile for. Each card shows the chains, platforms and custody model stated by the project. For our ranked picks with pros, cons and who should skip each one, see Best Decentralized Computing Tools.
All 4 decentralized computes
Showing 4 of 4
- Akash Network
Decentralized cloud marketplace where independent providers bid to run Docker containers and GPU workloads.
- Platforms
- Web, CLI, API

Distributed GPU rendering network that connects artists who need render power with GPU owners, built on OTOY software.
- Chains
- Solana (RENDER SPL token)
- Platforms
- Web, Desktop, API
- Golem Network
Peer-to-peer compute marketplace where requestors rent CPU and GPU time from providers and pay in GLM.

FAQ
Which decentralized compute ranks first on DappAtlas?
Akash Network is #1 in our list “Best Decentralized Computing Tools” (updated Oct 1, 2026). Akash runs any Docker container: you describe resources in a YAML file and providers bid. The trial gives $1 in credits for 30 days with no card, and the node code is Apache 2.0.
How is this directory ordered?
Projects ranked in “Best Decentralized Computing Tools” come first, in the order of that list; the rest follow alphabetically. The directory itself does not score projects.
Which decentralized computes are open source?
Of the 4 listed, 3 state that their code is open source: Akash Network, Golem Network, Flux.
