Introduction to Akash Network
Akash Network revolutionizes cloud computing by leveraging blockchain technology to create a decentralized cloud infrastructure. This approach allows companies with excess server capacity to offer it for cloud deployments, similar to how Airbnb uses spare rooms for short-term rentals. The decentralized nature of Akash enhances transparency and trust as all transactions and operational histories are recorded on the blockchain. This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Akash Network, its core concepts, technical infrastructure, ecosystem, and future prospects.
