In the last three parts of our “5 Days of Cloud” series, we’ve made a clear case: the centralized cloud, while revolutionary in its time, has reached a point of ‘diminishing returns’, and in the third article, we directly compared this era of cloud with the emerging decentralized option. High costs, single points of failure, increasing vendor lock-in, and global outages have shown their limitations. DeCloud, or decentralized cloud infrastructure, is not just a futuristic alternative but an urgently needed solution.

Centralized cloud pioneers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud helped drive massive adoption of Cloud technology. But in 2025, the cracks are showing; it seems they could use some help to meet the increasing demand.

Traditional cloud infrastructure is struggling to meet modern demands like AI, gaming, and massive data. GAIMIN introduces “DeCloud” — a decentralized cloud model powered by idle PCs and blockchain technology. Unlike centralized systems, DeCloud is cheaper, more secure, and scalable, offering a resilient, user-powered network. GAIMIN Cloud enables real people to contribute, earn, and power the infrastructure of the future.

Before the cloud, if you wanted to run an app or host a website, you had to buy physical servers, maintain them yourself, and scale manually; we called this “On-prem solutions”. This was expensive, complex, and inflexible, especially for startups or small developers.
