Akash Network (AKT) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

As of November 6, 2026, 298.25 million of the 388.54 million AKT (76.76%) have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date. Over the next 12 months it releases 24.42 million AKT (all estimated) from PoS Network Rewards and Community-Pool Inflation, worth about $15.04 million at today's price (7.76% of the market cap). Today's release is an estimated 67,845 AKT from PoS Network Rewards and Community-Pool Inflation.

The chart shows gross modeled releases of every allocation: vesting unlocks, new issuance and reserve distributions, each allocation counted once. These have different meanings; a scheduled release is not evidence that tokens entered circulation or were sold. Review the coverage, sources and assumptions below.

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

AKT and ACT have different jobs

AKT supports staking: validators use staked tokens to help secure the chain, and holders can delegate tokens to validators. It also supports governance voting and pays blockchain transaction fees. Akash began with 100 million AKT created at genesis. Its original economic plan set out a long-term issuance schedule of roughly 389 million tokens, largely tied to staking rewards. The network’s economic rules have since developed through governance and protocol upgrades. (akash.network)

The March 2026 upgrade introduced a system called Burn-Mint Equilibrium, or BME. When compute credits are needed, AKT is burned to create ACT using a price supplied to the protocol. ACT is designed for spending on Akash compute rather than for transfer between users. Providers receive ACT for their services and can convert it back into AKT. This links use of the compute marketplace to AKT while allowing leases to be priced in dollar terms. (akash.network)

Burning AKT when ACT is created and minting AKT when ACT is redeemed are two sides of the same process. The number of AKT involved in each step can differ because the conversion price can change over time. Akash includes controls that respond when the system’s collateral measures cross set thresholds.

Values at $0.616 per AKT (November 6, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after October 2027. Estimated amounts are modeled from the schedule's rules rather than dated by a source; see the Assumptions below. Releases without dates are listed under Allocations.

Assumptions

Akash created 100 million AKT at launch; its published spreadsheet estimates when those genesis tokens became available through March 2023. The chart also estimates subsequent net supply growth between a few dated supply figures, but those estimates cannot cleanly separate staking rewards from the burn-and-mint system introduced in March 2026. Staking issuance, usage-dependent mints and several documented reward or community-pool budgets have no complete, sourced payment schedule. Genesis category budgets and named programs are listed without adding them again to the charted supply.

PoS Network Rewards and Community-Pool Inflation: Emission continues with no published future rate or end date.
Burn-Mint Equilibrium Provider Settlement Mints: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
Akash Founding Member Rewards Program: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
Akashian Challenge Phase 3 Testnet Rewards: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
Praetor Provider Console Community-Pool Request: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
