Largest distributed network: 500-600 new regions by year-end
A Decentralized Compute Marketplace with Greg Osuri (Software Engineering Daily)
“It’s already the largest distributed network in terms of regions — it’s got more regions than Amazons and Googles of the world. By end of the year we anticipate at least 500 to 600 new regions, so by end of the year it’ll be the largest distributed network in terms of physical distribution. So you can imagine the edge computer applications that can be finally enabled on Akash.” — 00:07:52
