Akash Network is a decentralized cloud marketplace for compute - including GPUs - built on a Cosmos-SDK chain settled in AKT. Tenants post deployment manifests (SDL) and providers bid to host them. Developer surface includes the Akash Console REST API with managed wallets and credit-card billing, the Network Data API for indexed chain and provider data, the underlying Cosmos-SDK chain accessible over gRPC / REST / RPC, the Provider API on each provider, an official Akash Blockchain SDK in Go and JavaScript/TypeScript, the Provider Console, and the akash CLI.
