Sonm — Decentralized Fog Computing Platform

Decentralized Cloud Services

You rent other people's computing power all around planet from global resource pool at net cost without enterprise margin charges.

Rent Power
Fog Computing Backend

Become part of the fog with Sonm! We invite hardware suppliers to join the platform, and benefit from helping customers run even more calculation-intensive tasks.

Give Power
Smart Contracts-based Marketplace

Sonm is a self-supporting marketplace where you can trade computing power using an internal currency: the SNM token.

Fog Computing

The main idea of fog computing is the use of a decentralized network formed from disparate individual computing devices, as opposed to a single data center structure.

What distinguishes fog computing from cloud services is that in this case the computing resources are decentralized: instead of being provided by some centralized data center or supercomputer or server, the accumulated resource is delivered from individual computing devices.

This makes it possible to build extremely scalable and distributed systems, that can achieve performance and efficiency, not available with traditional cloud-based architecture. The aim of Sonm is to attract private users and data centers with free computing resources, and to form an open market based on these resources. A market where buyers, on a competitive basis, can find the resources to run their applications.

Technologies and features

The emergence of public cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin and Ethereum clearly showed the sustainability of decentralised systems.

This kind of systems have benefits and advantages, not achievable by traditional centralised systems: transparency and community trust, overall reliability, censorship-free, geographical distribution, global availability with the use of public cryptocurrencies, involvement of people as opposed to companies, etc.

So in order to run the solutions with Sonm we use the following technologies:

Blockchain and smart contracts
Profiles and a rating system
Decentralized marketplace
Peer-to-peer networking
Docker containers

Buy SNM tokens

Buying Sonm tokens is simple

The SNM token is an internal currency on the Sonm computing power marketplace. With SNM you can get access to the unlimited resources provided by Sonm.
