69 Active Providers and Counting

Akash Network is making significant strides in its global expansion efforts. With the onboarding of three new compute providers—two in Buenos Aires and one in Bogotá—the Akash Supercloud now boasts 69 active providers worldwide.

Why Latin America Matters

Latin America is emerging as a critical region for decentralized technologies. High cloud costs in the region have often acted as a barrier to innovation, particularly for startups and developers. By offering compute power at a fraction of the cost of traditional providers, Akash provides a much-needed solution. This reduction in costs enables more projects to thrive, ultimately fueling the growth of blockchain ecosystems across LATAM.

Decentralized Cloud, Local Benefits

Akash’s decentralized model allows local providers to contribute compute resources to a global network. This approach brings resources closer to end-users, reducing latency and improving performance for applications running on the network. For developers and businesses in Latin America, this means access to high-quality compute power without the prohibitive costs associated with centralized cloud providers.

Strengthening a Global Network

The benefits of Akash’s expansion extend far beyond Latin America. By diversifying its geographic footprint, Akash reduces the network's dependency on centralized regions, strengthening its overall resilience.

Next Stop - Middle East and Africa

Akash’s growth trajectory doesn’t stop with Latin America. Greg Osuri, co-founder of Akash, recently announced plans to expand into the Middle East and Africa. Like LATAM, these regions are primed for decentralized cloud adoption. With growing digital economies and increasing demand for scalable infrastructure, Akash’s entry into these markets could have transformative effects.

As Akash Network grows, it is setting the stage for a more decentralized, efficient, and accessible cloud infrastructure. This expansion not only benefits local developers and startups but also strengthens the network as a whole, driving global adoption of decentralized cloud technologies. The future of cloud computing is decentralized, and Akash is truly leading the charge.
