What is Akash Network?
Akash Network (AKT) is a decentralised cloud computing marketplace that links people who need computing power with providers who have spare capacity. It was founded in 2015 by Greg Osuri and launched its mainnet in 2021, setting out to offer an open, permissionless alternative to the large centralised cloud providers.
Akash is built on the Cosmos ecosystem and uses the Tendermint consensus mechanism, with Inter-Blockchain Communication for cross-chain compatibility. Developers can deploy applications across a distributed network of machines, and the platform typically works out cheaper than traditional cloud services while avoiding lock-in to a single vendor.
The AKT token holds the network together: it is used to secure the chain through staking, to pay for computing resources, and to vote on governance decisions that shape the platform. On Digital Surge you can buy and hold Akash Network in AUD, keep it in your account, or withdraw it to a compatible wallet.
