What is Cudos?
CUDOS provides Turing complete compute and external data to blockchains. It is a multi-chain Layer 2 solution and can seamlessly integrate with Cudo. The integration allows the use of specialized hardware on demand. Blockchains are relatively limited in their capabilities, thanks to their immutable nature. Blockchain’s immutability restricts their use considerably. Cudos acts as a bridge between blockchains and other services, enabling blockchains to consume data and compute to fulfill specific goals.
The CUDOS network and the Cudo network have been in development since 2017. The network has more than 150,000 users and is present in 145 countries, with over 20,000 nodes running different workloads. CUDOS has partnered with several data and compute providers and has an experienced team with a proven track record in place. The team at CUDOS can now provide compute to blockchains through the CUDOS network.
