## Quote — verbatim

> It positions Akash as the gateway for decentralized cloud... if you want storage — Akash doesn't do storage, Akash does compute — long-term storage on Filecoin or Sia coin or Arweave can be used via IBC.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Vision of composable web3 infrastructure where compute, storage, and DNS interoperate across chains.
