ALEPH.IM, a pioneer in decentralized infrastructure since 2019, today announces its rebrand to ALEPH Cloud, reflecting its evolution into a full-stack decentralized cloud platform. The new brand unifies its broad suite of services including decentralized compute, storage, virtual machines, and GPU resources, under one brand built to meet the infrastructure demands of modern Web 3 and AI applications.

As centralized cloud failures like the recent AWS outage continue to disrupt Mahor crypto exchanges and DApps, OLEF Cloud offers a timely alternative – permissionless, censorship-resistant infrastructure running on over 700 nodes in 12 countries. Its offering also includes a developer-friendly SaaS platform that simplifies deploying decentralized applications – no DevOps expertise required. To further support builders transitioning off centralized platforms, ALEPH Cloud Today highlights the $1 million startup accelerator, designed to help Web3 startups across Ethereum, Base, Solana, BSC, Avalanche, and other ecosystems scale using decentralized cloud resources. The program provides compute credits, storage, and technical support, giving developers the

infrastructure they need to scale across chains, whether they're building DeFi protocols, AI agents, or multiplayer on-chain games. Decentralization has always been the backbone of blockchain, but most of the infrastructure still runs on centralized cloud, said Jonathan Schiemel, CEO of Aleph Cloud. "'Aleph Cloud and our new accelerator program help teams move off AWS and toward a future that's censorship-resistant, private, and performant, without compromising on ease of use." Industry leaders are already leveraging Aleph Cloud for its resilience and robust performance. "'As we continue exploring innovative gaming experiences in Web3, Ollef Cloud has been

a key partner for Ubisoft," said Didier Genovois, Web3 technical and product director at Ubisoft. Their decentralized storage and computing infrastructure empower our on-chain games, enabling dynamic NFTs and richer player interactions in titles like Captain Laserhawk and Champions Tactics. Ollef Cloud's technology supports our vision for player-owned digital assets, reinforcing our commitment to a transparent and decentralized gaming ecosystem. We host our website on AlephCloud and are currently migrating all our APIs and backend scripts to Aleph's decentralized virtual machines," said Gabriel, co-founder and CTO

of Hyperswap. This ensures our infrastructure runs in a truly decentralized and censorship-resistant way. Instead of relying on traditional cloud providers, we leverage Aleph's decentralized storage and compute to keep our systems reliable, available, and resilient.
