This month, our team will be closing out an incredibly productive Q3 with the realization of our Mainnet, launching next week on Friday, September 25th.
In the past month, we continued to focus on Q4 product roadmap planning while preparing to integrate upstream software updates to Cosmos SDK.
We also announced an industry-defining partnership with Cosmos’s Interchain Foundation to accelerate development of Inter-Blockchain protocol, and bring true interoperability and scale to blockchain and crypto. As the first decentralized cloud for DeFi, Akash’s partnership with ICF will further enable us to accelerate growth for DeFi, and decentralized projects and organizations.
We continued to expand our global reach and launched our Russian community, with many more regional expansions in the coming months.
We thank you for being a part of The Unstoppable Cloud, and look forward to sharing more exciting news in the coming weeks.
