While speculators are running wild with Bitcoin ETF, SDXL on Akash has surpassed 80k generations while daily active leases hit another record high at 854. Adoption is the daily priority for the $AKT community.

SDXL on Akash has passed 80,000 total image generations, and total usage over time is showing early signs of exponential growth. More info on current progress in the post below, including links to the app and a case study on the development process.

Akash was mentioned in the latest report from David Attermann ( @atterX_ ) in CoinDesk, covering the evolution of the AI tech stack. General-purpose networks like Akash stand to benefit from increasing demand for permissionless compute, which has the potential to grow…

. @AscendEX_ has notified Akash core team members that they paused $AKT withdrawals because of technical issues and plans to fix them within two weeks. Contact their support for more information.

The Fidelity Center for Applied Technology referenced the ways that Akash and other DePIN projects can provide structural advantages over incumbents. Link to the entire conversation in the post below.

2023 was one of the most important years in the history of Akash. • Created a radically open process to develop the network. • Enabled network support for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. • Began training a foundation AI model on Akash. • Launched Akash Chat and an SDXL inference app.…

Akash was highlighted in the latest report from Binance Research. • Decentralized networks, like Akash, offer highly competitive pricing compared to hyperscale cloud providers. • Active leases on Akash surged in Q4. Read the full report linked in the post below.

Approaching the Peak: Active Leases on @akashnet_ nearing All-Time High 🔹The number of active leases has grown significantly in the past few weeks, signaling an increase in network analytics. 🔸 The growth catalyst is the protocol's resource efficiency for deployments $AKT

Within DePIN, the compute category alone represents a $10B market — led by Akash, Filecoin, Livepeer, Arweave, and others. Meanwhile, Fortune Business Insights projects the GPU-as-a-Service market to grow to $25.53B by 2030 (https://t.co/41AXaUGkmn). All signs point to the…
