• From this article (28-5-2020):

"The Akash Network aims to be the first secure, transparent, decentralized cloud computing marketplace that connects those who need computing resources with those that have the computing capacity to lease. The way it works is that the Akash Network works as a super cloud platform. They provide a unified layer above all providers on the marketplace to present clients with a single cloud platform, no matter the particular provider. The objective that the network is based on is to maintain a low barrier of entry for providers while at the same time, ensuring that clients can trust the resources that the platform offers them.

Moreover, they created a tangible product, the Supermini. This device is a supercomputer that offers people sovereignty and privacy over their data and makes it possible to become participants of the cloud. Owners will be able to run server apps, and machine learning workloads and offer their Supermini’s unused computing power on Akash to earn digital assets."
