# Akash Network
# Akash Network
## Overview
Akash Network is a decentralized cloud computing platform that allows users to deploy and manage applications in a decentralized manner. It leverages blockchain technology to create a more secure and efficient cloud computing environment.
## Overview
## Key Features
- **Currency:** AKT (Akash Token)
- **Buying Currency:** Available on exchanges like KuCoin and Gate.io.
- **Utility:**
- Used for network transactions and incentivizing cloud computing.
- Staking rewards for network validators.
- **Automation:**
- Smart contracts automate application deployment and resource allocation.
- **Utility in the Project:**
- Users can earn AKT by providing cloud computing resources.
- Validators can stake AKT to secure the network and earn rewards.
- **API:** Yes, Akash Network provides an API for developers to integrate with their applications.
- **User Perspective:**
- Users can easily deploy applications and earn AKT tokens by providing cloud computing resources.
Akash Network is a decentralized cloud computing marketplace built on the Cosmos SDK, designed to provide a cost-effective, secure, and scalable alternative to traditional cloud services like AWS and Google Cloud. By leveraging blockchain technology, Akash enables users to buy and sell computing resources in a permissionless and decentralized manner. The platform aims to democratize access to cloud infrastructure, making it more affordable and accessible for developers, businesses, and individuals.
## How It Works
1. **Step 1:** Users deploy their applications on the Akash Network.
2. **Step 2:** The network allocates resources to the applications.
3. **Step 3:** Users earn AKT tokens based on the amount of resources provided.
## Key Features
- **Currency:** $AKT (native token).
- **Buying Currency:** $AKT is available on major exchanges like Coinbase, Gate.io, and KuCoin.
- **Utility:**
- **Payments:** $AKT is used to pay for cloud computing resources, including CPU, GPU, and storage.
- **Staking:** Stake $AKT to secure the network, earn rewards, and participate in governance.
- **Governance:** $AKT holders can vote on protocol upgrades and ecosystem decisions.
- **Automation:**
- Smart contracts automate resource allocation, payments, and reward distribution.
- Dynamic pricing ensures cost efficiency by allowing providers to compete for workloads.
- **API:** Yes. Akash integrates with Docker and Kubernetes for seamless deployment of applications.
- **User Perspective:**
- **Developers:** Deploy applications on a decentralized cloud, benefiting from lower costs and greater flexibility.
- **Providers:** Monetize idle computing resources by renting them out on the Akash marketplace.
## Staking
- **Staking Requirements:** Minimum of 10,000 AKT tokens to become a validator.
- **Rewards:** Validators earn a percentage of transaction fees and block rewards.
## How It Works
1. **Resource Aggregation:**
- Providers register their computing resources (e.g., GPUs, CPUs) on the Akash Network, which are pooled into a global marketplace.
2. **Task Allocation:**
- Users submit compute jobs, and the platform matches them with the most cost-effective and suitable resources.
3. **Execution & Payment:**
- Jobs run on distributed nodes, with results validated via blockchain. Payments in $AKT are automated through smart contracts.

- GPU/CPU providers register devices on io.net, which are verified and pooled into a global network.
2. **Task Allocation:**
- Users submit compute jobs (e.g., AI training), and the platform dynamically assigns tasks to optimal hardware using smart scheduling algorithms.
3. **Execution & Payment:**
- Jobs run on distributed nodes, with results validated via test cases. Payments in $IO/$IOSD are automated via blockchain.
## Staking
- **Staking Requirements:**
- Minimum stake per GPU: 200 $IO. High-end GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA H100) require 10x multiplier (16,000 $IO for 8 H100s).
- 14-day cooldown period for unstaking.
- **Rewards:**
- **Block Rewards:** Distributed hourly—80% to GPU providers, 20% to CPU providers.
- **Slashing:** Malicious actors lose staked $IO; slashed tokens are burned after a 1-month appeal window.

# Arweave
## Overview
Arweave is a decentralized storage network that allows users to store data permanently. It leverages blockchain technology to create a more reliable and permanent data storage solution.
Arweave is a decentralized storage network that provides permanent and immutable data storage. It aims to create a "permaweb," a new version of the web where data is stored forever, ensuring that information remains accessible and uncensored. Arweave uses a unique data structure called "blockweave," which allows nodes to join the network immediately and store data efficiently. The network is powered by its native token, AR, which is used for transactions and incentivizing miners to maintain the data storage.
## Key Features

- **Utility:**
- **Payments:** $AR is used to pay for permanent data storage on the Arweave network. Users pay a one-time fee to store data forever.
- **Staking:** Arweave does not support staking as it is not a proof-of-stake network.
- **Governance:** $AR holders do not have governance rights over the network.
- **Automation:**
- Smart contracts automate data storage and retrieval processes.
- **Utility in the Project:**
- Users can earn AR by storing data permanently.
- Validators can stake AR to secure the network and earn rewards.
- **API:** Yes, Arweave provides an API for developers to integrate with their applications.
- The network uses a proof-of-access (PoA) consensus mechanism to ensure data integrity and availability.
- **API:** Yes. Arweave provides APIs for developers to build decentralized applications on the permaweb.
- **User Perspective:**
- Users can easily store data permanently and earn AR tokens.
- **Developers:** Developers can build decentralized web applications on Arweave, leveraging permanent storage and smart contracts.
- **Users:** Users can store data permanently with a one-time fee, ensuring their information is always accessible.
## How It Works
1. **Step 1:** Users upload their data to the Arweave Network.
2. **Step 2:** The network stores the data permanently and makes it available for retrieval.
3. **Step 3:** Users earn AR tokens based on the amount of data stored.
1. **Data Storage:**
