Ethernity (ETNY) is the native token of the Ethernity CLOUD platform, a decentralised confidential computing solution. The platform replaces traditional centralised cloud systems with a decentralised architecture, where data and applications are encrypted and hosted across a distributed network of nodes governed by smart contracts. This ensures privacy, anonymity, and continuous availability. The system leverages open-source technologies for transparency and user adoption.
The platform is currently in a transition process, with ETNY and ECLD tokens both in use. ECLD is set to replace ETNY as the platform's primary token once the migration process is fully completed.
ETNY plays a vital role in the Ethernity CLOUD ecosystem, enabling:
These functionalities establish ETNY as central to the platform's operations while maintaining decentralised, secure, and highly available cloud services.
Ethernity CLOUD was founded by Iosif Peterfi, a technology visionary with over two decades of experience, including roles at the U.S. Department of Defense and Max Planck Digital Library. The core team also includes:
This experienced team, with a strong background in cloud computing, blockchain, and secure systems, drives the development of the Ethernity CLOUD platform. Ethernity CLOUD Ltd., a Malta-registered entity, oversees the project, with significant milestones like the 2017 whitepaper, the 2020 testnet launch, and ongoing development towards full decentralisation.
