You will own your cloud, and you will be happy

With Akash, you have the power to own your cloud. You can deploy your own cloud infrastructure, and you can sell your unused cloud resources to others. You can also buy cloud resources from others, and you can use them to run your applications.

Supercloud at your fingertips, at a price you choose

Akash is an open Supercloud network that makes it easy to rapidly scale and access services around the world. It uses a "reverse auction" system, where customers submit their desired price and providers compete for the business. This often results in prices up to 85% lower than other cloud systems.

Built for battle, commanded by the community

Akash is owned and managed by its community. It is a free public service, and the source code that powers it is available to everyone. It is built on dependable technologies like Kubernetes and Cosmos, and the community oversees all aspects of Akash — including decisions about what new features should be implemented.

Infrastructure and Resource Management

Security and Privacy

Blockchain and Interoperability

Infrastructure as a Code

Akash's orchestration layer is powered by SDL. This simple-to-use YAML-based language lets you create complex deployments that span multiple areas and providers while choosing the resources you want to use and deciding on your price.

Kubernetes Powered

Akash runs on Kubernetes, the industry-leading container orchestration system. With this in place, you can rest assured that your applications will be hosted on a secure and reliable platform that has been tested and proven to work.

Persistent Storage

Akash offers a limitless storage system that saves your data even after restarting. This is ideal for databases and programs that store large datasets.

Dedicated IP Leasing

Akash gives you the ability to rent a dedicated IP address for your application. This allows you to assign any port of your choice to your deployment and then direct traffic towards it. This is especially useful for services such as DNS, web servers, and more.

Censorship Resistant and Unstoppable

Deploying applications on Akash is open to everyone and is secure and censorship-proof. Nobody can stop you from using Akash to build apps that can't be censored.

Peer-to-peer and Private

You and the provider you're using to deploy your application communicate directly, without any external parties. This makes sure your data stays secure and private, and no one can claim a portion of your payments or keep track of what's happening. Furthermore, Akash's lack of central control makes it dependable and unaffected by single point of failure.

Pseudonymous and Non-attributable

The Akash protocol is designed to protect your identity, providing a high level of privacy and security. You can use it to deploy applications anonymously, without anyone knowing who you are.

Layer One Protocol

Akash is a layer one protocol built using Cosmos SDK that uses Proof-of-Stake consensus to secure its network of decentralized validators. The network can be validated without permission and is secured by AKT, its native token.

Interoperable with IBC

Akash is the first blockchain to successfully carry out an Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) transaction with Cosmos Hub. This makes Akash able to communicate natively with other blockchains that are also IBC compatible.
