What is iExec?
iExec is a decentralized cloud computing platform that is open source and operates on the Ethereum blockchain. The platform enables decentralized apps to use its cloud’s “on-demand” cloud computing resources and technology. The network enables dApps to access low-cost, high-performance resources including servers, databases, SaaS applications, web hosting, and computer farms.
To help dApps which aim to use the platform, iExec offloads processing-intensive calculations so that the blockchain’s on-chain functionalities can continue to execute smoothly. The platform does this through the usage of their open-source Desktop Grid Software, XtremeWeb-HEP. Desktop Grid computing, also known as volunteer computing, collects spare computer resources and makes them available to the corresponding renter for a range of purposes, such as a dApp.
