AKT is the only way to pay for compute on Akash. Any other abstraction, whether credit cards or invoicing, will market-buy the exact amount of AKT and burn it to pay for compute on Akash
$AKT is the currency of compute
Expectation: AI will make busy people less busy so we have extra time to spend with family and touch grass
Reality: AI made busy people a lot busier because it gives back time to do more things
Who knew Jevon’s paradox works on time too
A decentralized AI compute play just outran 99% of the crypto market this month
$AKT, the native token of @akashnet, is up 72% on the month and leading CoinMarketCap's Broad Market category despite a 12% pullback Saturday testing $0.595 support. The DePIN GPU marketplace lets users rent NVIDIA H100s for $1.49/hour vs $43K outright.
Founder Greg Osuri presented at the Economist Impact AI Compute Summit in Amsterdam this week. Recent integrations with Venice ai and FLock io target decentralized AI inference, the same vertical NEAR and Sahara AI are also rotating into.
@stogolp we're going through an enormous amount of retooling to abstract away crypto completely. very exciting things are planned and shipping very fast
One important on-chain statistic for @akashnet is starting to rise again after declining for 1 year
Keeping a close eye on this one 👀
Who is watching this too ?
$AKT
Builders on Akash shipped autonomous scam detectors, a clinical watchdog catching chemo dosing errors in handwritten charts, smart glasses that trained a custom gesture model on Akash GPUs in one hour, a @Polymarket bot fusing 20+ data sources through Bayesian inference, and a simplified @openclaw / Hermes agent deployer.

My eyes are on $AKT
These are exactly the charts worth watching early.
When the breakout finally comes, Most will chase it after the move is already gone.
Keep it on your watchlist.

State of @akashnet Q1 2026
Key Update: Akash activated Burn-Mint Equilibrium via Mainnet 17, the first deflationary mechanism in the network's history, and launched Akash Homenode alongside the Akash Agents platform for one-click AI deployment.
QoQ Metrics:📊
New leases ↑ 27% QoQ to 43.5K
Lease revenue ↓ 45% QoQ to $253.2K
GPU usage ↓ 57% QoQ to 84 avg GPUs
Active providers ↓ 8% QoQ to 58
.@akashnet isn’t just another AI narrative play anymore. 👀
Every deployment now creates real buy pressure for $AKT while supply keeps shrinking. 🔥
43.5k leases. AI agents live. Homenodes onboarding fresh GPU supply.
The decentralized compute flywheel is starting to spin. ⚙️
.@akashnet activated Burn-Mint Equilibrium (BME) on March 23, 2026, the first deflationary mechanism in the network's history.
Every onchain compute deployment now triggers an $AKT market buy.
This is the State of Akash Q1 2026
It’s super rewarding to watch Akash Homenode providers generating income by utilizing their gaming rigs to host AI workloads on Akash during periods of idle time.
Future of AI is at home.

.@Forbes just named Akash Network as the core AI infrastructure powering the rise of "0-person companies," calling out decentralized compute as the layer that eliminates the need for centralized cloud providers entirely.
5 billion tokens a day is the new norm for @akashnetAI -- a new ATH yesterday
Its incredible what you can achieve by abstracting away crypto rails.
Users of have no idea they're using $AKT to host on Akash -- things just happen in the background -- as it should be.
$AKT by Akash Network is rapidly becoming the decentralized AI cloud layer powering GPU compute, AI agents & LLM inference as Akash ML processes billions of tokens daily through OpenRouter;
positioned perfectly for the AI + DePIN supercycle.
Massive upside setup = real usage + growing GPU demand + expanding Cosmos/OpenRouter connections + @gregosuri leadership + increasing $AKT burn pressure as adoption scales globally. @akashnet_ #AKT #Akash #AI #DePIN #Crypto
