Confidential VMs, decentralized GPU power, and serverless functions — engineered for compliance-driven teams in finance, gaming, AI, and Web3. Up to 69% cheaper than AWS & Google Cloud.
Aleph Cloud is a censorship-resistant, GDPR-compliant alternative to traditional cloud — combining confidential computing, decentralized GPU power, and serverless functions on a globally distributed network of nodes. Choose where your data lives, prove how it's processed, and pay only for what you use.
Trusted Execution Environments (AMD SEV) keep memory and disk encrypted by the CPU — even from us. Hardware attestation included.
Decentralized GPU marketplace and a unified credit system eliminate hyperscaler markup. Credits are priced per Compute Unit / hour — pay only for what you consume.
Choose data location to comply with regional laws. Credits purchased via on-chain smart contract — transparent, auditable billing. No vendor lock-in.
One platform spans 11 blockchains. SDK, CLI, Docker & Kubernetes native. Deploy in seconds, integrate with legacy infra.
Decentralized virtual private servers, deploy in seconds.
High-performance GPUs for AI, ML, and rendering workloads.
TEE-secured VMs with AMD SEV — encrypted memory and disk.
Permanent, reliable storage with IPFS integration.
Decentralized hosting with multi-chain wallet auth.
On-demand functions and persistent VMs in a decentralized runtime.

| Operator decentralization | Independent CRN / CCN nodes | Single vendor | Single vendor | Single vendor |
| Data sovereignty | ✓ pick exact node | region-only | region-only | region-only |
Pick the exact node where your data lives. On-chain billing replaces opaque invoices. Audit-ready logs out of the box.
End-to-end encryption, hardware attestation, and zero-trust architecture across every layer of the stack.
90+ globally distributed CCNs. If multiple nodes go down, your data and workloads remain accessible elsewhere.
From AAA gaming to DeFi rails to decentralized AI — teams trust Aleph Cloud for workloads where privacy, sovereignty, and resilience are non-negotiable.
