What it actually costs to sell AKT
Selling $100,000 of AKT into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken AKT/USD | 0.92% | $99,077 | 2026-11-04 |
| Coinbase AKT/USD | 1.29% | $98,709 | 2026-11-04 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps AKT on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Akash Network is
Akash Network describes itself as an open-source, decentralized marketplace for cloud computing built on blockchain technology. The project positions itself against centralized cloud providers, letting anyone with spare computing capacity lease it out to others, including a dedicated marketplace for GPU resources aimed at AI developers and researchers. The source material does not name a founding team or a launch date.
The network runs on a permissionless marketplace model: providers list unused compute, including GPUs, and users rent it, with competition among providers intended to push prices down. The native AKT token secures the network, is used in executing transactions, and can be staked by holders to earn rewards while helping secure the chain. Akash is built on the Cosmos SDK, making it interoperable with other blockchains, and it uses Proof-of-Stake consensus rather than Proof-of-Work. A separate proposal, referred to as AKT 2.0, outlines a "take rate" and provider incentives intended to accelerate growth, but this is described as a proposal under discussion, not a confirmed or live mechanism.
Akash is deployed across multiple chains — its own, Archway, and Osmosis — and is categorized by data aggregators under several tags at once: AI, smart contract platform, DePIN, and Proof-of-Stake, among others. That breadth of classification reflects a project whose positioning spans categories rather than one with a single, settled identity. The AKT 2.0 take-rate mechanism, as described, is a proposal rather than an implemented feature, so any revenue-capture role for the token is not yet established fact. The marketplace's actual pricing, liquidity, and usage depend on how many providers and renters participate, figures this page does not attempt to summarize here since they move and are tracked separately above.
Where AKT lives
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
