### What is Cudos?

Cudos is a decentralized blockchain-based network designed to provide access to distributed cloud computing resources. It merges blockchain technology with cloud computing to cater to Web3 applications, AI, the Metaverse, and High-Performance Computing (HPC). Cudos aims to bridge blockchain developers and cloud service consumers with providers of computing resources.

### How does Cudos work?

Cudos operates as a layer-1 blockchain utilizing a delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, allowing for decentralized, secure, and permissionless access to high-performance computing. It supports smart contract deployment using Rust compiled to CosmWasm. The network also facilitates cross-chain interoperability through its support for Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocols. Users can monetize via staking, governance, and compute capacity trading using the CUDOS token.

### What are the potential use cases for Cudos?

Cudos can be used in various fields such as:
1. **AI and Machine Learning**: Providing scalable computing resources for efficient data processing and model training.
2. **Web3 Applications**: Supporting virtual machines and smart contracts for scalable and secure dApp development.
3. **Decentralized Confidential Computing**: Collaborating with Secret Network to offer infrastructure for secure data processing.
4. **Metaverse and HPC**: Catering to the computing needs of emerging Metaverse and HPC applications.

### What is the history of Cudos?

Cudos was founded in 2017 with CEO Matt Hawkins at the helm. It launched its beta platform in 2019 and partnered with AMD to develop distributed computing solutions. In 2020, it released a Mining Farm Management platform, and in 2021, it introduced compute validation and a testnet. Following the launch of its layer-1 mainnet in 2022, Cudos evolved into a decentralized cloud computing platform capable of connecting blockchain developers with computing resource providers.
