Sure. Akash Network is a P2P marketplace for compute and GPU. Think of like an Airbnb/Uber type ecosystem but for cloud where anyone can permissionlessly lease or provide cloud services. It runs on an L1 blockchain which processes all of the marketplace transactions and AKT is the token which secures the (proof of stake) blockchain and settles between provider and tenant. One of the end goals is to allow non-crypto native people to rent services without even knowing there is blockchain technology behind it and this is already well under way (e.g. Brev.dev). Please ask if you have any questions.

Hey Guys ! Seems like Coinbase wallet allows to swap to a ERC-20 AKT token which is not supported by the overclock team The source of the data: the Coinbase wallet uses is most likely Coinmarketcap which still has a unofficial bridged AKT token added as a valid ERC-20 token contract for akash. The team is working to solve this issue, but please be careful since the erc20 $AKT has no liquidity, and you won't be able to swap it to native $AKT. DYOR

The Provider Incentive Pilot proposal is on track to pass, with 98% voting 'yes' and 55% turnout. Phase 1 of the proposal is projected to bring these NVIDIA GPUs onto the network at approximately these numbers, leveraging $AKT incentives. H100 > 83 units > $1.99/hr A100-80GB > 54 units > $0.85/hr RTX A6000 > 105 units > $0.69/hr Check out the full proposal onchain here: https://mintscan.io/akash/proposals/246

After incorporating $AKT community feedback, the Akash core team has updated the original incentive proposal by dividing the program into three categories: 1. Committed Pool: For tier-2 and higher data centers that provide a fixed capacity for one year. 2. Liquidity Mining Pool: A fixed set of rewards is distributed to various configuration sub-pools in epochs. 3. R&D Pool: For next-generation chipsets, such as NVIDIA GH200 and L40s, to support the upcoming generation of AI workloads. We call on all Akashians to review and provide feedback on this version so that we can continue iterating until a broad consensus is reached. → https://github.com/orgs/akash-network/discussions/448
