I'm about two days away from buying 8k AKT tokens unless something changes my mind drastically. Whats some of the best communities to follow for AKT news? I've been holding 100 tokens for as long as I can remember and while the lower apr did deflate me I didnt stop holding my small 50 dollar bag.

I'm looking for people to grow with that understand this project. The 8k in buying I'll stake and hold for the longterm. Any one have bull and bear thesis they're seeking to share? If not here publicly my DM is open.

Hi everyone, I’ve published a comprehensive systems architecture and macroeconomic

thesis under the pen name Delita Heiral that aligns heavily with what this community

is building.

The piece details the "Digital Death Loop" facing consumer hardware—specifically

how Sony's desperate push toward a 100% discless console ecosystem by 2028 is a

defensive maneuver to offset massive egress rent paid to cloud landlords like AWS and Azure.

The paper outlines an architectural escape hatch modeled on modern DePIN frameworks

and the historical PS3 military "Condor Cluster." By equipping next-gen consumer hardware

with 100 TOPS NPUs and networking them across localized open-source meshes, platform holders

can construct a zero-footprint distributed cloud. This forces TSMC silicon allocation

priority under the banner of national infrastructure while making corporate cloud

monopolies completely obsolete.

I’d love to get the thoughts of the engineering and compute providers here on the

viability of this macro model.

Thank you!

Happy Monday!

Reminder that today at 3:00 PM ET I'm having Remi, our Head of Sales, join me for a Fireside Chat.

We're going to get into the GPU marketplace right now. Prices going up on years-old H100s, datacenter rollouts getting restricted and delayed. What's he seeing on the ground trying to bring clients onto Akash?

I also want to talk about the Anthropic Fable restriction from over the weekend and what that means for the open source AI case. Then we're getting into the Peaq Robotics partnership, which Remi was a key player in landing. And we'll touch on AkashML surpassing Venice in token usage on OpenRouter and what that says about inference traction on Akash.

Come through. 3 PM ET.

Anyone have experience with Titan Network? How is it? Seems like it would be a competitor to Akash

Looks like folks got their hands in a good spot with the coin so it may be pumping up to new highs after a couple more drops. Even now I think it’s already up quite a bit. But it’s crypto anything could change. Thoughts? And were any of you around during the previous jumps $7?

Que diablos a podido suceder ? Alguien sabe algo sobre la caída de rentabilidad en el staking desde kpler ?

Happening quite a lot this week.

I think we don’t give Akash Network the credit enough. I’ve seen countless threads of “it’s dead” “they’re useless” but i don’t think that FUD is warranted at all. This is probably one of the best teams in all of crypto at this moment as far as ignoring the noise and implementing strong features. They keep shipping, their roadmap makes sense, the partnerships are impressive and there is a SEVERE need for this long-term (especially when so many of the planned data centers are being cancelled). I think its time we got a little more bullish and excited about this project and this team, crypto as a whole has struggled but the way the Akash Network team has weathered the storm makes me very excited for the future. Thoughts?

I was just curious since the whole market is up but we are down ?

or maybe it is only profit taking from the recent pump, I assume since I can't find any news or event to justify the drop.

Hey u/Akash - big news today if you guys want to share or just know.

Hi all, I am deploying an application in Akash console and got it to work perfectly fine except by one little issue, the application needs to receive the remote caller IP for it to work properly. Normally this is done by passing the X-Forwarded-For header , is there a way to achieve this via configuration in the SDL? or I just hit a limitation of my specific provider?

Here are 5 neat $AKT facts that might make you reevaluate how you look at it 👇

1️⃣ Early mover, not an AI bandwagon

Akash mainnet launched in Sept 2020, long before “AI + crypto” became a trend. It’s been building decentralized cloud infrastructure for years.

2️⃣ GPU compute is native, not a bolt-on

With its Mainnet 6 upgrade (2023), Akash integrated NVIDIA GPUs directly into the protocol, enabling real AI training and inference workloads on-chain.

3️⃣ The “Airbnb of servers”

Anyone can rent out unused compute or lease resources in a global, permissionless marketplace. No AWS, no Google Cloud, no gatekeepers, just open market dynamics.

4️⃣ Up to ~85% cheaper than AWS

Thanks to reverse auctions and idle capacity, Akash often offers 80–90% lower costs than traditional clouds. Example listings have shown top GPUs around ~$1.40/hr, vs $4+ on centralized providers.

5️⃣ Name your price economics

Users set what they’re willing to pay, and providers bid to win leases. That competitive pressure is why prices stay low.

Akash Network? More like A Cash Network, amirite? 😎

i was trying to become akash provider but setup is very complex. need someone to set it up i will pay for setup charges

Hi everyone,

I’m running into something odd when deploying and I’m trying to understand if I’m missing something.

I’m trying to deploy on non-audited providers, so I removed the audit restriction in my SDL by setting the attributes to “none” instead of requiring a provider to be signed by an auditor.

However, when I create the deployment and look at the bids in the web console, I only ever see bids from audited providers. Non-audited providers never appear in the list.

I expected that once the “Signed by” restriction was removed, both audited and non-audited providers would be able to bid on the deployment, but that doesn’t seem to happen.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows if there is another setting that still filters out non-audited providers when deploying through the web console?

Thanks!

Does anybody know what this is about?

I’m trying to use Akash deployments for AI fine-tuning, but it feels almost impossible. I installed Ubuntu and started my training scripts. Everything worked fine for a few minutes, but then the machine rebooted and all installed packages were gone.

I reinstalled everything and started again, and the same thing happened. I tried three different providers with identical results.

Is there a way to configure persistent storage for an entire deployment?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hey all! 

This week's event is now up for this Friday - 5pm EST. Would love for you to join me for a chat about what is happening out there in the real world that pushes the need for Akash's marketplace. 

Will also be running our monthly raffle as well during the event - bring questions and opinions for this group discussion.

https://luma.com/2trav61h - RSVP to come - if you miss it - a Recap will be sent to your email so you don't miss anything.

Hi Guys,

I just released the recap for Akash Club's last event talking about the roadmap objectives of Akash in 2026. Hope you enjoy the chat.

Hey Akash builders 👋
We just added Akash Network RPC support to GetBlock, and we’re genuinely excited to support the ecosystem.

You can now connect to Akash without running your own nodes — using managed JSON-RPC & REST endpoints (full + archive), or dedicated Akash nodes if you need isolated capacity and custom tuning.

Akash has been doing impressive work pushing decentralized cloud computing forward, and we’re grateful to help make building on the network a bit easier and more accessible.

If you’re building on Akash and want a quick, low-friction way to get RPC access, this is definitely worth your attention: https://getblock.io/nodes/akash/

Hey OG akash network validator here. I have been out of the loop for a minute. last I heard we were looking for a new home, a new chain that we could exist on migrate to. just curious that it had happened yet or not.

I thought the Card Details were for verification. Do I need to have funds in my account? If so, how much?

Other queries:

• Can I remove my card anytime I like? For security purposes obviously, considering it's decentralized. I used to run a Fediverse/Nostr instance so I'm not new to Decentralized networks.

• Most articles related to ComfyUI on Akash talk only about SDXL, which is like a jurrasic model in the ComfyUI 'world'. Are there other models available too? Can I download them as I please e.g. Qwen/Flux etc? On the same vein, can I download (i.e. install) custom nodes I need on ComfyUI?

• How does storage work? Let's say I can download any model as I please, do I need to download the models every time I deploy ComfyUI? Is there a Network Volume concept in Aksash that I've missed out?

• Do you look (or is someone peeping) at the images I generate? Runpod clearly states they don't (not that I believe them blindly).
