The cloud shouldn't live in someone else's warehouse

Vaporkernel turns the world's idle computers into a decentralized cloud. Deploy workloads on real hardware, globally distributed, radically cheaper.

Cloud computing, unchained

No data centers. No vendor lock-in. Just a global mesh of real hardware, orchestrated and secured at the kernel level.

01

Providers share idle compute

Anyone with a machine and an internet connection installs the Vaporkernel agent. It runs silently, leasing only the resources you're not using.

02

We orchestrate the mesh

Our control plane tracks available hardware worldwide, matches your workload to the best nodes, and handles scheduling, failover, and networking.

03

Customers deploy instantly

Pick your specs, choose a Linux image, and deploy. You get an SSH endpoint in seconds. It feels like any cloud—except the infrastructure is everywhere.

Built for hostile environments

We assume every host is compromised. The architecture is designed so that even a malicious provider with root access can't touch your data.

🔒

Memory isolation

Guest workloads are hardware-isolated at the CPU level. No process on the host can read your instance memory.

🗝

Encrypted storage

Every volume is encrypted before it touches the provider's disk. Keys are managed off-host and never persisted locally.

🌐

Zero-knowledge networking

All traffic flows through encrypted tunnels. Providers can see bandwidth usage but never inspect the contents.

Deploy like it's AWS.
Pay like it isn't.

Standard Linux workloads. Familiar tooling. A fraction of the cost because you're running on real-world hardware, not corporate margins.

  • Standard cloud images—Ubuntu, Alpine, Debian, Fedora
  • SSH access in seconds, CLI and web dashboard
  • Geographic node selection for low-latency deployments
  • Scale from a single instance to a distributed fleet

Your computer. Your income.

Lease your idle CPU, RAM, and storage to the network. Set it up once, earn passively. Your machine stays usable—we only take what you're not using.

01

Install

One command. The agent benchmarks your system and registers with the network.

02

Forget

It runs in the background. Dynamic throttling keeps your machine fast for your own use.

03

Earn

Get paid for the compute you're not using. No hardware investment required.

Performance-obsessed from the kernel up

Written in Rust. Hardware-level virtualization. Kernel-space networking. We're not wrapping someone else's cloud—we built the hypervisor.
