What is Centrix?

Centrix is a decentralized computing protocol that creates a global marketplace for computational resources. Think of it as the “Airbnb of computing power” – connecting those with idle hardware to those who need computational capacity. The Vision: A world where computational resources are universally accessible, fairly priced, and efficiently utilized. Where a researcher in Kenya has the same access to supercomputer performance as a corporation in Silicon Valley. Where hardware owners can monetize idle capacity without intermediaries or gatekeepers.

​
Why Centrix Matters

The centralization of cloud computing has created systemic inefficiencies: For Consumers:
  • Pay premium prices to oligopolistic providers
  • Face vendor lock-in through proprietary ecosystems
  • Experience geographic limitations and latency
  • Lack pricing transparency and flexibility
For Society:
  • 85% of global computing capacity sits idle
  • Innovation constrained by infrastructure access
  • Economic value captured by few large corporations
  • Environmental waste from underutilized hardware
Centrix solves these problems by creating an open, decentralized alternative where market forces determine pricing, anyone can participate, and resources are maximized.
