Te Ārahi Katoa ki Akash Network
A clear guide to the decentralized cloud computing marketplace: how the reverse auction works, how to deploy your first workload, how to stake AKT and how to rent GPUs for AI.
He aha te Akash Network?
He mākete korekore, pūtake-wātea, mō ngā rauemi rorohiko kapua, i hangaia hei wero i te rangatiratanga o ngā kaiwhakarato pūmau.
Akash Network is a decentralized cloud computing marketplace. It connects people who need computing resources (tenants) with those who have spare capacity (providers). The chain is built with the Cosmos SDK and secured by Tendermint consensus, so anyone can buy and sell computing power without an intermediary.
Often called the "Airbnb of cloud computing," Akash lets data centers, companies and individuals earn from idle servers. Because providers bid against each other for every workload, prices are often well below the on-demand rates of Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. Akash publishes its own comparisons on akash.network; the live bids in Akash Console are the reference for any current price.
The network is governed by holders of its native AKT token, which makes it one of the first decentralized alternatives to the large centralized cloud market. Its mainnet launched in 2020. Since then, the marketplace has expanded from CPU workloads to GPU workloads, and the network publishes live usage statistics on its website.
Me pēhea te Mahi a te Whatunga Akash
He mākete hokohoko whakahoki kāri e whakataetae ai ngā kaiwhakarato mō tō mahi, ka whakaiti i ngā utu aunoa.
Whakaū Ngā Whāinga
Tenants write a Stack Definition Language (SDL) file that specifies CPU, memory, storage, GPU and networking requirements. It works much like a Docker Compose file.
Hokohoko Huri
Ka pāhotia te raupapa tuku on-chain. Ka tuku tono ngā kaiwhakarato e tutuki ana i ngā whakaritenga, e whakataetae ana i te utu. Ka toa te tono iti rawa i te taunoa.
Raiti & Whakaputa
Ka whakaae te kaiwhakamahi i tētahi tono, ka hanga i tētahi raiti. Ka whakarewa te kaiwhakarato i tētahi pod Kubernetes me te atahanga ipu o te tenant's, ā, ka ora te taumahi i roto i ngā meneti.
Utu Escrow
Ka mau ngā pūtea i tētahi pūkete whakatūpato kei runga i te aho, ā, ka tukuna ki te kaiwhakarato ia poraka. Ka taea e ngā kaipupuri whenua te katia ngā whakarewa i ngā wā katoa, ā, ka whakahokia ngā pūtea toenga.
Ngā Tūranga Matua o te Whatunga
Ngā Kaipupuri Whenua
Ngā kaiwhakamahi e tuku ana i ngā mahi i te whatunga. Ka tautuhi rātou i ngā hiahia rauemi, ka whakakī pūkete whakatūpato, ā, ka whiriwhiri i ngā kaiwhakarato mā te tukanga hokohoko.
Ngā Whakarato
Ngā pokapū raraunga me ngā tāngata takitahi e tuku ana i ngā rauemi rorohiko. Ka whakahaere rātou i te pūmanawa Akash Provider i runga i ngā rōpū Kubernetes, ā, ka tono utu mō ngā tono whakarewa.
Ngā Tūtui
Ngā kaiwhakahaere e whakatakoto ana i te AKT hei tiaki i te pūkete mā te whakaaetanga Tendermint BFT. Ka whakaaetia e rātou ngā whakawhitinga, ka whakaputa paraka, ā, ka whiwhi utu whakatakoto.

Note: this table compares pricing models, not fixed prices. Akash prices come from provider bids and move with marketplace supply and demand; check them live in Akash Console. Centralized cloud prices depend on region and instance type; compare with their on-demand rates, without reserved-instance or committed-use discounts. Akash publishes its own cost comparisons on akash.network.
Ngā Āhuatanga Matua o te Whatunga Akash
He aha te mea e tika ana mō Akash kia āhei ki te whakatupu o te whakatipuranga hou o te rorohiko kapua.
Kore whakaaetanga
Kāore he KYC, kāore he tukanga whakaaetanga, kāore he here kaihoko. Ka taea e te tangata whai AKT, USDC rānei te tuku i ngā mahi, ā, ka taea e te tangata whai pūkenga mokowā te riro hei kaiwhakarato.
Kore Whakapā
Kāore tētahi rōpū kotahi e āhei ki te kati i ngā tuku. He maha ngā kaiwhakarato puta noa i ngā rohe e whakarite ana kia wātea tonu ngā tono ahakoa te pēhanga tōrangapū.
Kubernetes-Native
Ka whakahaere i te Kubernetes ia kaiwhakarato Akash. Ko tēnei tikanga, ka taea e tētahi ipu Docker e whakahaere ana i runga i te K8s te tuku ki Akash me ngā whakatikatika iti ki tōna hanganga o nāianei.
IBC-Whakahohe
I hangaia i runga i te Cosmos SDK me te tautoko mō te Whakapāho-ā-whatunga (IBC). Ka taea e AKT me USDC te rere mā te kore ārai i waenganui i Akash me ētahi atu aho Cosmos pērā i Osmosis.
Utu Mārama
Ko te tauira hokohoko whakahoki e tikanga ana ko ngā kaiwhakarato e whakataetae ana i te utu i te wā tūturu. Ka tuhia katoa ngā tono tuku me ngā kirimana ki te aho, e whakarite ana i te mārama katoa o te utu.
Motu Tuwhera
All Akash software, from the blockchain node to the provider daemon, is open source under the Apache 2.0 license. Anyone can audit it or contribute on GitHub.
Te Tohu AKT
AKT powers the Akash Network, from securing the chain to settling marketplace transactions.
Whakapūmautanga & Haumaru
Ka whakapūmaia te AKT e ngā kaiwhakamana me ngā kaiwhānaunga hei tiaki i te pūtirotiro pūtohu-ā-tau. Ka whiwhi ngā kaiwhakapūmauta i ngā utu poraka pikinga utu me tētahi wāhanga o ngā utu hokohoko.
- Delegate to any validator in the active set
- Wā whakakāhore 21-rā
- Third-party tools such as REStake can auto-compound rewards
Whakahaere
Ka pōti ngā kaipupuri AKT mō ngā whakahōunga kaupapa, ngā panonitanga tawhito, me te whakapau moni i te puna hapori. Ka hiahiatia he tāke me tētahi rōpū o ngā tohu whakapūmaua kia whakaaetia ngā tono kāwanatanga.
- Pānuitanga i te aho me te pūnaha pōti
- Te whakawhanaketanga o te pūnaha taiao mō ngā pūtea o te pūrewa hapori
- 1 AKT kua whakatakotoria = 1 pōti
Reiti Tangohia & Whakapūtanga
A percentage of every lease payment (the take rate) goes to the community pool and to stakers. Deployments can be paid in AKT or in USDC; governance sets a lower take rate for AKT than for USDC. The current values are listed in the Akash documentation.
- AKT payments: lower take rate, set by governance
- USDC payments: higher take rate, set by governance
- This gap favors paying in AKT over stablecoins
Me pēhea te whakatū i te Akash Network
He hāereere ā‑tahi‑tahi mā te Akash Console, te ara māmā rawa ki te tīmata i te kore ki te whakatūwhera.
Whiwhi AKT, USDC rānei
Buy AKT on a centralized exchange that lists it, or swap for it on a Cosmos DEX (decentralized exchange) such as Osmosis. You can also bring USDC over IBC. Send the tokens to a Cosmos wallet such as Keplr or Leap.
Whakatuwhera te Akash Console
Go to console.akash.network and connect your wallet. Akash Console is a web interface, so you do not need the command line.
Waihangahia tō kōnae SDL
Whakaahuahia tō tuku i te SDL (Reo Whakaaturanga Rārangi). Tautuhia te atahanga Docker, CPU, mahara, rokiroki, ngā tauranga ka whakaaetia, me ngā hiahia GPU kōwhiringa. Kei te pūrere he tauira mō ngā mahi auau pērā i ngā tūmau tukutuku, ngā pātengi raraunga, me ngā tauira AI.
Urua te Pūkete & Tukua
Deposit AKT or USDC into the deployment escrow. This creates your deployment order on-chain. Governance sets a minimum deposit, which Console shows before you confirm; a larger deposit keeps a workload running longer.
Tīpakohia tētahi Kaihoko
I roto i ngā hēkona, ka tono ngā kaiwhakarato ki tō mahi. Arotakehia ngā tono i runga i te utu, te hītori o te wā e wātea ana, me te wāhi. Whakaae ki te tono pai rawa hei hanga kirimana, ā, ka tīmata tō tuku i roto i ngā meneti.
Whakahaere & Aroturuki
Uru ki ngā rangitaki, whakatūwhera ki tō ipu, whakahou i ngā tuku, me te aroturuki i te whakamahinga rauemi tika i te papamahi Console. Katia ngā tuku i ngā wā katoa hei whakahoki i ngā moni escrow e toe ana.
Ngā Tauira Whakamahi o te Akash Network
Mai i te manaaki paetukutuku ki te whakangungu tauira AI, ka tautokohia e Akash he whānui o ngā taumahi kapua.
Whakangungu AI/ML
Rēna i ngā GPU NVIDIA mō te whakangungu tauira ako mīhini, te whakatikatika i ngā LLM, me te whakahaere i ngā pūnaha tirotiro i te wāhanga o ngā utu kapua.
Manaaki Paetukutuku
Whakaputa paetukutuku, API, me ngā tono ipurangi mā te whakamahi i ngā ipu Docker paerewa. He tino pai mō te manaaki kāore e whakatūpato ana i ngā dApp me ngā atanga.
Whakahaere Nodhi
Whakahaere i ngā pūtirotiro blockchain me ngā nodhi RPC mō Ethereum, Cosmos, Solana, me ētahi atu whatunga i runga i te hanganga Akash e wātea ana, ka mau tonu.
Mahi Raraunga
Mahi tukatuka rōpū, ngā pīpēra ETL, tātaitanga raraunga, me ngā mahi whakaahua. Whakanui mō ngā mahi pātata me te kore o ngā herenga roa.
Te Hokomaha GPU a Akash
Uru ki ngā GPU NVIDIA taumata pakihi mō AI, ako mīhini, me te whakaahua i ngā utu mārketi tuwhera.
Akash added GPU support to its marketplace in 2023, during the GPU shortage driven by AI demand. While large cloud providers had waitlists and premium prices for NVIDIA H100 and A100 cards, Akash opened a marketplace where GPU owners list their hardware and AI developers rent it at bid-based rates.
The GPU marketplace lists a range of NVIDIA hardware, from consumer RTX 4090 cards to data-center A100 and H100 cards. Providers set their own prices. Competition between them tends to keep costs below centralized on-demand rates, but the gap changes with supply and demand.
Common GPU workloads on Akash include fine-tuning open-source large language models (such as Llama and Mistral), running Stable Diffusion image generation, training computer vision models and serving AI inference endpoints.
Highest tier: suited to LLM training
Versatile: training and inference
Consumer card: inference and fine-tuning
