Akash is just a coordination protocol — safer by design
IBC Relayers are safer than Bridges - Here's Why (Akash Network)
“I feel a little safer with Akash because we don’t have third-party smart contract execution risk, we don’t secure any assets on chain, we are not a DeFi protocol. Akash really at the end of the day, it’s just a coordination protocol — it coordinates a tenant to a provider to transfer assets, so it’s a lot safer in terms of security profile.” — 00:03:35
