Learn why Rumble Cloud aligns with the principles and operational needs of decentralized blockchain technologies.
Many blockchain projects including Bitcoin advocate for technological decentralization. Decentralization refers to the distribution of control, authority, and data across a network of nodes (computers) rather than relying on a single central entity, such as a bank, government, or company. This concept is crucial as it shifts control away from single authorities, mitigating risks of censorship, manipulation, or system failure. For blockchain projects, decentralization guarantees that no central body can tamper with transactions or data, fostering trust and transparency. People using blockchain gain autonomy over their assets and data, eliminating intermediaries like banks or tech giants, potentially reducing costs and boosting privacy. Decentralized systems also exhibit greater resilience; the absence of a single failure point makes them more difficult to disrupt or hack. For platforms supporting decentralized applications (dApps) or stablecoins, decentralization enables open, permissionless development, promoting free expression, financial inclusion, and innovation.
Decentralized projects aim to operate their infrastructure on globally distributed networks and independent nodes. Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINS) leverage blockchain technology to crowdsource and manage physical and digital resources. Distributed hardware networks, cloud storage, decentralized compute and AI, and even community operated wireless projects are all currently in play to solve for maximum decentralization.
Despite these advances in operational decentralization, most major blockchains, DeFi platforms and exchanges still rely on centralized cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. Despite the risks of cancellation, free-speech restrictions, and single-points of failure when using big tech cloud providers, projects still require scalability, rapid deployment, and cost efficiency, as well as the need to handle network spikes, implement reliable backup and recovery systems, and maintain regional coverage. As such, decentralized projects still depend on centralized cloud infrastructure for development, testing, and even production deployments and other operational requirements.
TRON DAO recently made waves in announcing a strategic partnership with Rumble Cloud to help accelerate, bolster, and expand the decentralized internet. TRON DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization that governs the TRON blockchain, a digital platform focused on hosting decentralized applications (DApps) with high scalability, low fees, and fast transactions. Founded in 2017 by Justin Sun as the TRON Foundation, it transitioned into a DAO in December 2021, emphasizing code-driven community governance. TRON DAO enables developers to build DApps for gaming, finance, and media, using its native token, TRX (Tronix), to power transactions and reward creators. It also supports the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) and launched the USDD stablecoin in 2022, backed by the TRON DAO Reserve. TRON DAO aims to decentralize the internet, empowering users and developers to control their data and content without intermediaries.
TRON DAO partnered with Rumble Cloud to enhance the decentralization and resilience of its blockchain ecosystem by leveraging Rumble Cloud’s censorship-resistant infrastructure and scalable computing power. In the initial phase, Rumble Cloud provides TRON DAO with access to its cloud services, including virtual machines, Kubernetes orchestration, block and object storage, load balancers, and virtual private cloud options. This supports TRON’s mission to create an open, user-controlled internet, aligning with Rumble’s commitment to free expression. With TRON’s massive scale—over 308 million user accounts, 10 billion transactions, and $23 billion in total value locked as of May 2025—the partnership ensures enterprise-grade reliability, reduces single points of failure, and strengthens TRON’s infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps) and stablecoin transactions, particularly for USD Tether (USDT), where TRON leads with over $77.7 billion in circulation.
Rumble is the ideal fit for blockchain projects such as TRON DAO because its cloud infrastructure prioritizes censorship resistance, aligning with the ethos of decentralization. Unlike providers like AWS or Google Cloud, Rumble Cloud offers a platform less susceptible to content or service restrictions, ensuring DApps and blockchain networks operate without interference. Its scalable, open-source-based, enterprise-grade services support the high transaction volumes and reliability needs of blockchain ecosystems such as TRON. Rumble’s commitment to free expression complements decentralized projects’ goals of user sovereignty and data control, reducing reliance on gatekeepers prone to vendor lock-in or policy shifts. This makes Rumble a robust, ideologically aligned partner for projects aiming to build an open, resilient, and decentralized internet.
