Introducing Akash Founder Level 2 Second Challenge: Deploy Your Own Private Matrix Server
This week, we present the Second Challenge, which qualifies you to earn 1,000 Akash Tokens (AKT).
Akash is a marketplace for cloud compute that’s encrypted, private, and decentralized, and an important benefit of deployment on Akash is private communications for your community or team.
Last week we introduced a way for you to have an end-to-end encrypted chat server, and this week, we’ll enable you to deploy your own private matrix server with complete sovereignty over your communications. A matrix server is an open network to secure decentralized communication. It is normally very expensive and difficult to manage. But not on Akash Network.
