# Akash Network (AKT) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/akt.html

## Definition
Akash Network is a decentralized cloud-compute marketplace that lets providers sell unused compute capacity and lets developers deploy workloads far below hyperscaler prices.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
Utility token of the Akash compute marketplace — gas and medium of exchange between providers and tenants, staked for security and governance. Evidence: the open protocol — the token is the chain’s native unit by consensus rules; there is no issuer to claim against.

## Verification verdict
Class NATIVE (Native) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2–q5 N/A (structural — bearer-native asset)

## Plain-language utility
Native fuel of the Akash network — pays for decentralized cloud computing.

## Key risks & notes
Akash used high inflation early to bootstrap supply-side participation; providers have no onchain SLA enforcement, so reliability lags centralized clouds. It competes with other DePIN compute networks and hyperscalers on price, not guarantees.
