Adoption will come through verticalization on top of the protocol
Dcentral 2022 - DeCloud - Decentralized Cloud & Storage (Akash Network)
“You can build other stuff on top of Akash, and most of the adoption, I would think, would come from verticalization… Akash is a general purpose cloud… it’s like taking an F1 car to buy groceries… I would imagine you would build additional verticals on top of it that optimize for single use cases… there are about seven different companies working on building different protocol clients on top of Akash.” — 00:18:00
Context: Standards discussion — Akash builds on Kubernetes (“standing on shoulders of giants”) rather than from scratch; forecast that vertical clients drive mainstream usage.
