## Quote — verbatim

> Cosmos is, in my opinion, the only layer one app chain framework that works without an issue. Akash is a prime example — we've been live for about four years and we haven't had a single unplanned outage... we grew our usage maybe by order of magnitude every year.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
