The USP: world's first open cloud, 90% cheaper, distribution Amazon can't give
Ask Akash: Why not focus on Web 2 adoption for Akash? (Akash Network)
“You have heavy distribution from a provider base and you have amazing user experience from a user base, along with product market fit, along with cost being 90 [percent] lower. Now that’s the unique selling proposition that Amazon can’t give — and all this in an open source [way]. Our USP is world’s first open cloud… our USP is better, cheaper, faster. How is it faster? Low latency delivery using 500,000 nodes across the world.” — 00:04:17
Context: Answering how Akash could eventually attract large Web2 companies; the 500,000-node figure is aspirational scale, not then-current (Akash had ~30 providers at the time).
