The Akash Polygon-athon

Akash Network and Polygon join forces as the preferred distributed cloud hosting solution for the Polygon Ecosystem to onboard thousands of dapps.

Akash has launched a new program specifically for dApps running on Polygon’s network. All developers in the Polygon ecosystem are now incentivized to migrate away from the traditional cloud providers and move their back-end and front-end services to the Akash Network.

• Akash is offering 20 $AKT to any Polygon ecosystem project to cover the cost of hosting on Akash.
• To put things in perspective, this covers roughly 2-3 months of hosting costs for an application with 4 cores, 16 GB RAM, and 1 GB of storage - OR - up to 20 micro-services.
• Akash will match bounties posted by Polygon projects - up to 100 $AKT. If a project offers a bounty of 100 $AKT or more, Akash will match the bounty with an additional 100 $AKT, and the person hired to the bounty will be awarded 200 $AKT.
• Polygon apps can immediately post a bounty on the Akash Bounty Board (click here) to hire engineers to help them with the DevOps effort of migration and hosting on Akash.
• Bounties by projects can be paid in any currency. Matching awards by Akash will be paid in $AKT.

Further, developers are encouraged to apply for up to $100,000 from the Akash Developer Grant Program, which will be welcoming projects running on Polygon. Support for Polygon dApps will be funded through a bounty hosted by Akash and Gitcoin. Visit the Akash Community Forum to learn how to apply for the program.
