Akash: Accelerating efficient cloud compute markets with unused compute capacity from everyday machines

Akash Network is a Tendermint based blockchain that’s developing the world's first decentralized open-source cloud, leveraging 85% of underutilized cloud capacity in 8.4 million data centers worldwide. Akash enables anyone with a computer to buy and sell cloud compute in a frictionless manner. In this episode, Greg Osuri, CEO of Akash Network, joins us to talk about how Akash—which means sky in Sanskrit—accelerates scale, efficiency, and price performance for DeFi, DAOs, and industries like machine learning/AI. A key highlight of this interview? Turns out, you can mine Akash with a Tesla’s unused GPU capacity while it’s charging in your garage.
