AKT is the native utility token of Akash Network, a decentralized cloud computing marketplace built on the Cosmos SDK and founded in 2015 by Greg Osuri and Adam Bozanich under Overclock Labs. The project operates as a legitimate, open-source DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) with public governance, audited code, and institutional partnerships including an indirect connection to NVIDIA through the Brev.dev acquisition. No regulatory actions, fraud allegations, or major exploits have been identified, though a responsibly disclosed critical vulnerability was patched in May 2024 and a spam attack disrupted the network briefly in March 2025.
