Timpi is building the world’s first truly decentralized web index and search engine, designed to challenge the dominance of Big Tech by offering a privacy-first, unbiased, and community-powered search experience. Their mission is to disrupt the search and data industries by addressing critical issues of trust, data manipulation, and the centralized control that dominates today’s digital landscape.
Challenge
As Timpi’s decentralized TAP network expands, operating nodes require community members to strike a balance between infrastructure and participation. While technically possible for many, setting up nodes still involves considerations such as hardware and hosting costs, reliable deployment, and ongoing management
These factors created a natural barrier for some potential operators, particularly those with less experience in server configuration or cloud management. Even for seasoned participants, maintaining security, backups, and scaling often meant extra time and resources
For Timpi, this means that while community enthusiasm was strong, there was still room to simplify, make node hosting more cost-effective, and increase accessibility, ensuring that more participants could join and contribute without being distracted from the core mission
Solution
InFlux integrated Timpi with the FluxCloud Marketplace, providing turnkey node hosting with prebuilt images, one-click deployments, managed lifecycle tooling, and autoscaling. The FluxCloud solution also includes network isolation, encrypted communications, and automated backups to ensure node reliability and security.
By cutting operator hosting costs by 40% and reducing onboarding friction, the integration boosted operator participation and reduced support overhead for Timpi.
“The partnership with InFlux and FluxCloud solutions enables the successful hosting of decentralized infrastructure on a decentralized infrastructure network, thereby strengthening the entire Timpi TAP network.”
