Akash Network (AKT) is a decentralized, open-source cloud computing marketplace. It lets anyone with spare compute capacity lease it to developers and businesses, often at lower cost than traditional cloud providers like AWS or Google Cloud. Users deploy applications through a reverse-auction system, where providers compete to offer the best price. The network is increasingly used for GPU-intensive workloads such as AI and machine learning.
