## Quote — verbatim

> Akash validators running on Akash means a meta deployment — now that'll be something crazy... I wouldn't encourage the actual full nodes to be running on Akash itself, because when things go wrong the validators are supposed to fix the chain, and they're fixing a chain that they're hosted on — it'll get into all kinds of unknown problems.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Nuanced self-limit on dogfooding; RPC and ancillary infrastructure on Akash is fine. **Speaker:** uncredited Ask Akash answer; likely Greg.
