What Akash Network coordinates
Akash Network (AKT) is an AI / DePIN infrastructure token, currently ranked 129th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Rather than a payments coin, Akash Network is the settlement and incentive layer for a distributed infrastructure network. The token's job is to bootstrap supply of a useful resource and pay for its consumption.
Akash Network (AKT) is a decentralized cloud computing marketplace that allows developers to purchase and sell unused computing resources. It aims to provide a more cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional cloud services.
How the network bootstraps supply and demand
The durable version of Akash Network is one where actual usage — inference, storage, connectivity — generates revenue that exceeds the incentives paid out. Until then, much of the demand for the token is subsidy-driven.
Background & fundamentals
The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in AKT. In sector terms it is most often filed under Marketplace, Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20), and Polygon (MATIC) Token.
Where Akash Network sits in the market
Trading around $0.6018, Akash Network carries a market capitalization of $167.44M. Around $5.22M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 3.12% of the float — a healthy level of activity for an asset this size.
Only ~60% of the 388.5M-AKT maximum supply is circulating today, so emissions remain a live factor in price discovery. AKT remains -94% beneath its all-time high of $10.35, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close. Measured from its all-time low of $0.1673, AKT is up +260%.
What the price history shows
Recent moves read 24-hour -4.95%, 7-day -14.99%, 30-day +16.91%, 1-year -44.62%. Within its stored 366-day daily history, AKT mounted a low-to-high run of roughly 235% at its strongest stretch.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Akash Network in the High-volatility band — it has been actively trading, with daily moves that would be unusual in traditional equities. Over the last 30 days the move totals +16.91%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate an AI/DePIN token like Akash Network
A grounded read on AKT comes down to three questions:
- Real demand — paying usage of the network's resource, not just provider rewards funded by AKT emissions.
- Supply growth — how much real-world or compute capacity the network has actually brought online.
- Token economics — whether AKT demand can outgrow the incentives the protocol pays to bootstrap it.
