# Platforms

Platforms are cloud services that provide access to hardware and development tools. In the Web2 space, we see various providers such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google GCP, etc., that allow users to leverage their platform to access compute power and run their applications. In the Web3 space, a more decentralised approach is fast emerging as the more accessible and cost-effective alternative.

Tokenised platforms represent a stake in decentralised computing protocols, such as those offered by Cudos and NuNet. Thus, creators can easily rent out servers and create on-demand virtual machines to run their models and applications.
