XCloud is a decentralized microservice cloud network powered by the XRouter Protocol and is part of Blocknet's Protocol suite. It allows interaction with microservices, blockchains, APIs, and cloud technology that is hosted by service nodes. XCloud can be considered as a "decentralized AWS/Azure".
Developers and crypto enthusiasts alike can incorporate blockchain and non-blockchain microservices on the XCloud, allowing applications to run entirely decentralized. With XCloud, there is a capability to create custom microservices in Docker containers that act as plugins for XRouter, the foundation for the Blocknet XCloud. Existing containers on Docker Hub including a large number of enterprise applications can be monetized and served through Blocknet's XRouter interoperability protocol for seamless integrations. Moreover, XCloud can be used to monetize any service with crypto payments without the need to re-establish or change the existing applications. For instance, CoinMarketCap can be connected and allow users to access their API with a subsequent fee paid in BLOCK tokens without the need to secure any signups or agreements.
Same as the XRouter, fees for XCloud are determined by a free market. Service nodes can specify the fee that they desire to charge for a call and the client specifies the max fee that they can pay. Service nodes earn one hundred percent (100%) of fees from XBridge, XRouter, and XCloud services.
XCloud's services are closely tied with the operations of the XRouter. It basically hosts applications of developers, consolidates and stores necessary data. As a decentralized cloud, it is possible for XCloud to lodge and manage other decentralized applications similar to that of XRouter's use cases involving crypto supply chains, storage and hosting of information, media and content publishing, business and industry enterprise, and even certifications and licensing records.
To host a service with XCloud, the following steps shall be followed by the developers as provided by the Blocknet community:
1. Find a service you would like to provide or create a custom service of your choice.
2. Create the configuration file – each service requires its own configuration file. It is required to create the configuration file for the service's settings.
3. Determine its service type – the following are the supported types of services:
A. rpc– for blockchain call on a wallet that's not in a container
B. docker – used when a developer is running your service within a Docker container, whether it is a wallet or any other type of microservice
4. Deploy service
5. Additional information
It is wise to assume that the Blocknet Protocol, together with its three (3) suite products; XBridge, XRouter, and XCloud working altogether, can surpass other decentralized exchange platforms in bringing unconventional and top-of-line trading services to its current and future investors.
