Akash Network

About Akash Network

Akash Network (AKT) is a decentralized cloud computing marketplace built on the Cosmos SDK. It connects users who need cloud resources with providers willing to lease their idle computing capacity, including CPUs and GPUs, through an open and permissionless marketplace. Unlike traditional centralized cloud services, Akash Network operates on a proof-of-stake blockchain, enabling faster, cheaper, and more transparent deployments. The native AKT token is used for payments, staking, and governance. The platform has gained particular relevance in AI and machine learning workloads due to its affordable GPU rental marketplace.
