“Care.Wallet is now yours for life. Akash Network decentralized compute helped achieve our goal to make every Care.Wallet a permanent #Web3 container, that no #AWS admin can shut down.”
Solve.Care
“Solve.Care is migrating Care.Nodes to @akashnet_ to reduce cost, scale faster, and get rid of #AWS.”
Solve.Care
“Pretty insane to see the progress @akashnet_ has been making. Mixtral 8x7B is supposed to be on par with GPT 3.5. Would be interesting to see how crypto could bootstrap and incentivize some of this development. Also open source AI + DePIN is something to keep an eye on.”
Youtube Creator
“You can deploy dapps, games or websites on the Akash network. The token $AKT is needed for deploying dapps, participating in governance voting, and for staking to secure the network.”
Crypto analyst
“Mind blowing experience with Akash so far, waking up every day and can’t stop digging this infrastructure.”
Akash Discord member
“Akash offers developers the ability to build full-stack decentralized applications through key partnerships with other Web3 infrastructure projects, making it the premier Web3-native cloud platform.”
Research @Messaricrypto
“Decentralized cloud infra as a service with a globally available, programmable settlement currency $USDC. @akashnet_ (open source supercloud).”
Co-founder @Circle
“Friendship ended with @Hetzner_Online now @akashnet_ is my best friend.”
Co-founder @Solana Labs
“Want to run your own Bittensor $TAO Node? Follow this simple step-by-step guide to get started on @akashnet_ in just 5 minutes for around $10 per month in $AKT.”
