# NodeShift

> NodeShift is a decentralized cloud platform that aggregates spare compute, GPU and storage capacity from independent data centers and web3 networks, then resells it through one simplified UI and a single API. By tapping underused infrastructure instead of building hyperscale data centers, NodeShift offers developers and enterprises GPUs, virtual machines and storage at prices it claims are up to 70-80% cheaper than traditional cloud providers - positioning itself as a 'sovereign AI cloud' for teams that want affordable, distributed, compliance-friendly compute.
