## Quote — verbatim

> We call it Akash Starcluster: a product roadmap that brings hyperscale performance to a globally distributed network. Phase one launches in 2025 — data center grade star nodes. These are high-density racks running in existing colo spaces, powered by renewable energy, operated by independent node keepers. They form the foundation, the raw power layer.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Opening of the Starcluster announcement; VMs (Aug 2025) and confidential computing (Sep 2025) are named as the supporting releases for node keepers.
