Akash Network operates a decentralized cloud compute marketplace that allows users to deploy docker containers in a cost-effective manner. The platform caters to developers, businesses, and blockchain enthusiasts by providing a marketplace filled with pre-made solutions, such as blogs and blockchain nodes. Users can specify their desired price for resources, and providers compete to meet these requests, which helps to lower costs and increase options. The platform is community-driven and open-source, utilizing a Layer 1 blockchain and the AKT utility token for its operations. Revenue is generated through transaction fees and the use of the AKT token. Akash Network's focus on decentralization aims to give users self-sovereign control over their cloud computing resources.
