## Quote — verbatim

> Not too many people know Akash is one of the largest IP address marketplaces... Akash is used by healthcare companies to store HIPAA compliant data. Akash is used by NSA — they're doing a project inside the Department of Defense... Akash is so robust and so simple, it is composable, part of a larger protocol.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Arguing that doing one thing well ("Akash is a supercloud") plus simplicity drives adoption; "more things we do as a protocol means bigger attack surface... more brittle."
