On July 9, 2025, in Wilmington, Delaware, Akave Cloud launched as the first decentralized data storage platform operating on a dedicated Avalanche L1.
Features of Akave Cloud
Akave Cloud is designed to support decentralized AI, DePIN, and Software as a Service (SaaS), offering encrypted, programmable, and verifiable storage. Unlike traditional cloud services, Akave anchors all storage logic—uploads, reads, and permissions—directly to smart contracts, providing secure audit trails and full data sovereignty.
Advantages of Avalanche Infrastructure
Running on its own dedicated Avalanche L1, Akave Cloud benefits from EVM compatibility, sub-second finality, and customizable chain logic, which are critical for real-time data-intensive applications. Key capabilities include an S3-compatible API, client-side encryption, and smart contract-based access control.
A New Model for Participation in Data Infrastructure
As a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), Akave allows anyone to contribute resources and earn rewards for supporting the infrastructure. Akave’s roadmap includes enabling sovereign data zones—regional L1s designed to meet local regulations and governance.
Akave Cloud offers a modern solution for data storage, addressing security and transparency requirements. The platform aims to create decentralized systems for businesses and developers, providing access to advanced data storage capabilities.
