    Akash Network (AKT) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

    The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Akash Network (AKT) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence AKT price performance.

    Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.

    Tokenomics & Utility

    Akash Network tokenomics center on capped supply, stake‑based security, and marketplace utility.

    • Supply and cap. AKT launched with 100 million at genesis and a maximum supply of 388,539,008 tokens. New issuance mints over time as staking rewards until the cap is reached. (onchain.org)
    • Dynamic inflation. In March 2025, governance set inflation to a variable band that adjusts with staking participation: minimum 4% and maximum 8%. This “bonding‑ratio” mechanism targets a healthy stake while avoiding runaway emissions. Earlier eras used higher bands; the latest update narrows and lowers inflation. (observatory.zone)
    • Staking and governance. AKT secures the chain through delegated proof‑of‑stake. Holders stake with validators to help run the network and vote on upgrades and key parameters (such as take rates, inflation ranges, or community‑pool taxes). (akash.network)
    • Marketplace payments. AKT serves as a default settlement asset and gas token in the marketplace. Under AEP‑23, stablecoins are also supported with currency‑specific take rates (for example, historically 4% for AKT vs. 20% for USDC on provider withdrawals), a design intended to keep fees predictable while encouraging native‑token usage. (akash.network)
    • Community pool. The community pool funds public goods, provider incentives, and ecosystem growth. In February 2025, a passed proposal raised the community‑pool tax to 50% of protocol fees that flow into the pool, a sign of the network’s focus on long‑term incentives and tooling. (observatory.zone)

    Token design evolution. The community has explored “AKT 2.0” ideas to align fees, incentives, and token demand. One proposal (BME, AEP‑76) introduces an algorithmic “compute credit” that is minted by burning AKT and burned again at settlement, aiming to preserve stable USD‑like pricing for tenants while creating structural AKT demand. Such proposals are examples of how governance may refine utility over time as adoption grows. (akash.network)

    What moves the AKT price? While TokenRadar shows live metrics separately, it’s useful to know the drivers. AKT price tends to react to network usage (more leases and GPU hours), staking levels, and governance changes to inflation or fees. Listings and new payment options can also influence liquidity and visibility. The monetary design intentionally balances emissions for security with mechanisms that link token demand to real compute usage. (akash.network)

    Assumptions

    • Max (fully diluted) AKT supply is 388,539,008; genesis was 100,000,000.

      Defined in Akash Economics/AEP documents; remaining tokens distributed via PoS issuance.

    • Investor and Team unlock dates and amounts (cliffs) modeled from investor docs and third-party summaries.

      Project’s public materials and Messari summaries outline one-year cliff then semiannual graded unlocks; we used 2021-09-25, 2022-03-25, 2022-09-25, and 2023-03-25 dates.

    • Foundation, Ecosystem, Testnets, and Vendors buckets modeled as TGE + initial cliff(s) followed by linear monthly vesting to March/September 2022.

      Official posts confirm allocations and TGE/early monthly unlocks but not complete per-tranche tables; linear vesting conservatively approximates gradual distribution.

    • PoS issuance split into periods by governance parameter changes; tokens per period calibrated to on-chain and official snapshots.

      We used governance proposal effective windows and matched cumulative issuance to: (a) forum-reported total supply in June 2022, and (b) current on-chain total supply (~279.88M) as of Oct 2025; remaining issuance assigned to the latest band.

    • Post–Mar 6, 2025 issuance projected linearly to 2050-01-01 under 4–8% band.

      Exact convergence time to supply cap depends on future governance and staking ratio; we chose a conservative endpoint for modeling and kept notes on uncertainty.

    • Protocol fee ‘take rate’ distributions and community pool spends are not new issuance and are excluded as release mechanisms.

      They redistribute existing/minted AKT and do not mint additional supply.
