Akash Network Partnership With Skynet Labs

Skynet Labs is thrilled announce their partnership with Akash Network in the realization of a new full-stack decentralized internet. Sia Skynet and Akash Network are two projects with the same goal, to make it easy to join the decentralized Internet movement. Both are hosting platforms with strong developer communities releasing new code and projects. Both are well-funded and are openly challenging the cloud giants by reducing the cost for users to host their data and apps.

By combining Skynet’s decentralized storage and data sharing with Akash Network’s decentralized cloud computing, developers can finally build full-stack decentralized apps that match, and in many cases, outperform the services provided by centralized tech giants. Lower costs and higher reliability are just some of the clear advantages, however the real advantage is political stability.

“The terms of service and available APIs of centralized services change every day, but decentralization comes with guarantees. The entrepreneurs of tomorrow will build on decentralized tech, because it gives them so much more control over the future of their business.”—Skynet CEO and Founder, David Vorick

Akash brings the power of cloud servers and computing to allow running databases, APIs and application backends without renting a physical server or relying on traditional cloud providers. Servers and applications need robust storage possibilities, and Skynet is able to fill this gap. Skynet allows for database backups, user data storage, content delivery, and website hosting.

ABOUT SKYNET LABS
Skynet provides decentralized storage, and unlike the traditional web, files uploaded to Skynet are immutable. Immutable data means you can upload files, and they are instantly accessible on any device and are fully verifiable on the Sia blockchain. As long as at least one public portal continues to pin the data, it will remain accessible forever.

ABOUT AKASH NETWORK
Akash is an open-source deployment platform for hosting and managing containers where users can run any cloud-native application. The open-source nature of Akash’s platform allows it to be implemented across multiple cloud providers, breaking the vendor lock-in for selecting a cloud-hosted service.
