+The Akash Provider Console is an easy way to become an Akash provider. Being a provider llows individuals and organizations to rent out their unused computing resources. 
+
+
+This guide will walk you through the process of setting up an **Akash provider** using the Akash Provider Console.
+

+
+## Prerequisites:
+1. **Akash Wallet with Sufficient Funds:** Ensure you have an account on Keplr Wallet with at least 30 AKT in it. 
+2. **Provider Node:** To be a provider on Akash, you must have a node set up to offer resources. This could be a cloud server, a bare metal machine, or any server capable of hosting containers.
+
+---
