- The proposal would migrate the network and its AKT token from the Cosmos-based akashnet-2 chain to Solana mainnet.

Akash Network (AKT) opened voting on Proposal 346 on October 26, 2026, a plan to migrate the decentralized cloud network from its Cosmos-based sovereign chain, akashnet-2, to Solana mainnet. Voting runs until November 2, with about 98% of votes in favor so far, according to PANews' report of the proposal.
What Proposal 346 Would Do
If the proposal passes and the token and migration portal audits are completed, which is expected to take two to three weeks, AKT would launch on Solana as an SPL token. The migration would be one-to-one and keep the AKT ticker. A one-way migration portal would stay open for two years.
Staked AKT must first be unstaked, with the usual 21-day unbonding period, before it can be migrated. The proposal sets no switchover date. Moving the marketplace and services would need a separate switchover proposal later.
Why Akash Chose Solana
Akash said it chose Solana mainly because of operating costs under load, the absence of a single operator and the concentration of the DePIN ecosystem on the network, according to the proposal coverage. Akash rents out decentralized cloud compute, and the AI coins category on Coinranking tracks much of that DePIN and compute sector.
What Happens Next
Voting closes on November 2, 2026. A pass starts the audit work rather than the migration itself, and holders keep their current AKT until the migration portal opens. The Akash price chart tracks the token through the vote. Akash currently runs as one of the layer 1 blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem, and the vote would end that status.
