-After the idea had been validated by a proof of concept, the above-mentioned technology stack was defined and development began at the beginning of 2016. The first goal was to develop a client based on Electron for Windows, Linux and MacOS. In January 2017, the first functional alpha version was completed and tested with a closed circle of users. Over time, additional functions were added, bugs fixed and performance optimized. With the launch of the beta version in November 2017, a web version of AKASHA\footnote{https://beta.akasha.world/} was introduced. In the beta phase the developers wanted to set the application and IPFS and the Ethereum blockchain behind under a stress test to see if the technology can cope with heavy load.

This was a big step towards a better user experience since the web client does not need to download the Rinkeby blockchain which took around 30 minutes on first run. The public beta phase started in February 2018 with the primary goal to see how the application behaves under heavy load.

-With the announcement of the beta, the team behind AKASHA also released plans for their own AETH token. This token should have the special feature that it can take different states. The state transition from one state to the other is only possible as shown in Figure \ref{fig:akasha-aeth-transitions}. The developers describe the states as follows:
