iExec

What is iExec?

iExec is a decentralised cloud computing platform. Instead of relying on big data centres owned by one company, iExec connects people who have spare computer power with developers who need it. The result is an open marketplace where anyone can buy or sell computing resources. The network runs on the Ethereum blockchain, and its native token is RLC.

The project started in 2016 and grew out of research from leading scientific institutes in France and China. iExec focuses on three things: computing power, applications, and data. Developers can publish apps, data owners can sell access to datasets, and computing providers can earn RLC by running tasks on their machines.

Why the Coinbase listing matters

RLC is available on Coinbase, one of the largest and most trusted crypto exchanges in the world. A Coinbase listing makes it much easier for new users in the United States and many other countries to buy RLC with regular money. Listings on major exchanges usually bring more attention, more trading volume, and more people learning about the project.

For the iExec team, being on Coinbase is a sign that the project meets high standards for security and compliance. It also means the token is easy to store in the Coinbase wallet and simple to trade at any time of day.

What is RLC used for?

RLC is the fuel of the iExec marketplace. Buyers spend RLC when they rent computing power, run applications, or access datasets. Sellers earn RLC when they provide these services. The token can also be staked, which helps keep the network safe and decentralised.

One of the most interesting parts of iExec is its work on confidential computing. This technology lets people run programs on private data without ever seeing the data itself. Hospitals, banks, and AI companies can use it to work with sensitive information in a safe way.

How to join the iExec community

If you want to get involved with iExec, start by visiting the official website and reading the documentation. You can buy RLC on Coinbase, explore the marketplace, or even become a computing provider if you have hardware to share. Follow official announcements on the project’s X (Twitter) and Discord channels so you never miss an update.

Be careful of scams. No real team member will ever ask for your private keys or seed phrase. Never send crypto to an address that promises to double it. Airdrops and rewards are only announced through official channels, so always double-check the source.

iExec is building useful infrastructure for the future of cloud computing. With its Coinbase listing and a growing ecosystem, it is a DePIN project worth watching closely.
