What is AKT?
About Akash Network
AKT is the native token of Akash Network, a decentralized cloud computing marketplace built on its own Cosmos SDK blockchain where anyone with spare server capacity can list it for rent and anyone who needs compute can bid for it in an open reverse auction. Often described as “Airbnb for data centers,” Akash connects tenants (developers, AI researchers, enterprises) directly with providers (data centers, mining operations, individual GPU owners) at prices that are often lower than Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The network launched its mainnet in 2020 and has evolved from general-purpose CPU compute into a GPU-focused AI infrastructure marketplace. On March 23, 2026, Akash activated the Burn-Mint Equilibrium (BME) mechanism after Proposal 318 passed with 99.7% governance approval, restructuring AKT's economics so that compute payments are tied directly to AKT demand.
AKT tokenomics
AKT's tokenomics underwent their most significant change since network inception with the BME activation in March 2026. Before BME, tenants could pay in USDC (under the AEP-23 framework), meaning compute demand grew while AKT carried no direct usage-driven demand. BME closed that gap.
BME mechanism (March 23, 2026) — when a user purchases compute, the payment buys AKT on the open market, the AKT is burned to mint ACT (a USD-pegged unit used to settle compute payments), and providers receive ACT and can convert it back to AKT at market price; AKT leaves circulation while ACT is outstanding and returns when providers convert it back
Token utility — staking to secure the proof-of-stake blockchain (validators and delegators earn block rewards plus a share of marketplace take rates), governance voting on protocol upgrades and parameter changes, compute payment, and take rate rewards from network usage
Market capitalization — approximately $192 million as of November 2026, according to CoinGecko, with about 300 million AKT in circulation out of a 388.5 million maximum supply
Price — approximately $0.64 as of November 2026, according to CoinGecko; the all-time high was about $8 in April 2021
What determines AKT's value
AKT's value is now mechanically linked to compute spend on the network through BME. Compute payments buy AKT from the open market and burn it to mint ACT, which takes AKT out of circulation while ACT is outstanding. The more AI inference, model training, and general compute flows through the marketplace, the more AKT is bought. Because providers can convert ACT back to AKT, the net effect on supply depends on how much ACT stays outstanding.
The AI infrastructure narrative provides the demand thesis. GPU scarcity and high centralized cloud pricing push AI developers toward alternatives, and Akash's competitive reverse-auction model gives tenants real pricing power. Akash Agents (one-click AI agent deployment) and AkashML (managed inference) represent production-grade AI products running on decentralized compute. The risk factors are provider concentration and the gap between compute demand growth and the pace at which new providers onboard. If the supply of available compute contracts while demand scales, quality of service suffers and tenants return to centralized alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Akash Network (AKT)
A decentralized cloud computing marketplace on its own Cosmos SDK blockchain. Anyone with spare server capacity can rent it out, and tenants bid for it in an open reverse auction.
BME ties compute payments to AKT. A payment buys AKT, the AKT is burned to mint ACT, and ACT settles the payment with the provider, who can convert it back to AKT. It was activated on March 23, 2026.
Proposal 318 passed with 99.7% governance approval.
ACT is a USD-pegged unit used to settle compute payments under BME. Providers receive ACT and can convert it back to AKT at market price.
Not entirely. AKT leaves circulation while ACT is outstanding and returns when providers convert ACT back, so the net effect on supply depends on how much ACT stays outstanding.
Staking to secure the proof-of-stake chain, governance voting, and compute payments. Validators and delegators earn block rewards plus a share of marketplace take rates.
About 300 million AKT as of November 2026, according to CoinGecko, out of a maximum supply of 388.5 million.
Tenants such as developers, AI researchers, and enterprises rent compute from providers such as data centers, mining operations, and individual GPU owners. The network has shifted from CPU compute toward GPU-focused AI infrastructure.
Not for standard wallet-to-wallet transfers. Deposits to centralized exchanges typically require a MEMO to route funds to the correct account.
Open swapzone.io/exchange/akash-network, enter the amount, and compare offers from partner exchanges by rate, time, and KYC label. Paste your Akash address, send AKT to the deposit address, and track the order.
Provider concentration and the pace of new provider onboarding matter, and if supply of compute shrinks while demand grows, service quality suffers. The price is far below its 2021 high.

The site experience was great. But choose your exchange platform wisely.
The site experience was great, as on previous occasions. I made a mistake, however, by choosing a different exchange provider, EasyBit, and the result was much worse than I was given to expect. Changelly was the best before and I will choose that option in future.

Unstaking ONT without having ONG
My problem was to unstake ONT in my wallet which I administrate with the Exodus software without having ONG for gas fee. The swapping function in Exodus is no longer available and they will suspend the support of Ontology soon. By means of the fantastic swapzone-node I was able now to swap TRX into ONG and receive the ONG directly at my adress of ONT-asset. So I was able to start the unstaking procedure. And one more advantage: The swapping of TRX to ONG and sending it to the ONG-adress was quite simple for beginners like me: I'm used to krypto ledger, but this was my first experience with swapping-nodes.
Great service with great support!
not so long ago I was looking for a service that allows you to exchange cryptocurrency quickly and effortlessly. today, when I once again decided to exchange usdt to eth - I wrote the wrong wallet, namely the wallet from the last exchange (incorrectly indicated the amount), to which the usdt should have been sent. after contacting support, I was almost immediately refunded, which I am very happy about! I recommend using this service! 100/100
Very competitive pricing and fast support - great!
I used swapzone.io over 10 times recently and never had an issue. In fact, I had once a visual bug of the swap interface when the funds were sent but it was correct again the second I started a chat with support. In less than 2 minutes I had a very friendly employee talking to me. Very competitive pricing and fast support.
everything was fine
i successfully exchanged currencies. it took just a couple of minutes
everything is in one place
I'm new to cryptocurrency, and I'm always frightened by the choice of services. I really liked that everything is in one place here, and you can choose from familiar names and compare prices between them. The exchange took place fast and without any problems.
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of bitcoin with the cake app four different times this evening and it wouldn’t work. Thankfully, their support was able to give me my money back quick and I was able to come here and I found an even better rate than what I got with cake. This will probably be my new go to crypto swapping platform. 100 out of 10 recommend and you can order with confidence :-)

Easy to understand terminal, quick transaction. A bit of slippage on promised rate compared to what received - not sure why, as prices haven't changed by that percentage.

I wanted to share my experience after encountering a failed transaction earlier today. I contacted support, and the team was incredibly fast in getting back to me. They understood the problem immediately and helped me through the recovery process efficiently. It's situations like this that really show why prompt customer service is essential on an exchange. The quick resolution meant I didn't have to worry for long. Your help was much appreciated!

Honestly in this industry it’s hard to fbb in f great costed service but Liam at swapzone handled an issue for me and solved it and no bs just helping me out. Thank you. My first time using swap zone to swap crypto was great and I’ll be back now .
Read this carefully
Works every time and helps to find the best deal. Is what I would say if I wanted to leave regular review. What I am going to say is that this service is unmatched in crypto sphere how they handle their business. I sent crypto to a swap in 2 transactions instead of one(my mistake) and when I opened the chat and explained my issue they contacted the parter doing the swap and gave me option to get a refund or continue with the swap at the current rate. Others would just keep it of tell you its lost. So not only they help you find the swaps but they act as a liaison if there are issues.
perfect service
perfect service. great support. I can wholeheartedly recommend this service. The support is fast, helpful, and solution-oriented. You won't find that with other Exchange services. A++++ thanks
