Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read AKT against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
Read this first
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.
disputed
3 claimsThe reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. This is a lead, not a ruling that the claim is false.

“A third co-founder, Boz Menzalji, joined as COO at mainnet launch.”
reviewerBoz Menzalji was a third co-founder who joined as COO at mainnet launchIndependent profiles consistently describe only Osuri and Bozanich as co-founders and list Menzalji (originally titled 'General Manager') as a later-joining COO/executive, not a founder. No source calls him a co-founder.Proposed correction (not yet applied)Boz Menzalji joined as COO at mainnet launch. - #7[disputed][awaiting moderator]in section: Token and Funding History
“AKT launched its Token Generation Event (TGE) on October 21, 2020, priced at approximately $0.39 per token.”
reviewerAKT's Token Generation Event occurred on October 21, 2020Third-party aggregators disagree on the exact date (Oct 15, 16, 20, or 21), but Akash's own blog announcement gives Oct 15 (auction) / Oct 16 (listing), which this reviewer could access directly and treats as the higher-credibility source.Proposed correction (not yet applied)AKT launched its Token Generation Event (TGE) on October 16, 2020, priced at approximately $0.39 per token. - #25[disputed][awaiting moderator]in section: Partnerships, Integrations, and Market Position
“In April 2024, Brev.dev, a GPU cloud service that integrated Akash's compute network, was acquired by NVIDIA.”
reviewerBrev.dev, integrated with Akash's compute network, was acquired by NVIDIA in April 2024This section's own timeline entry elsewhere on the page correctly dates the NVIDIA acquisition to 2024-07-16, consistent with external reporting (CB Insights, UBOS); the prose in this section instead says 'In April 2024...was acquired by NVIDIA', which conflates the April 2024 Akash/Brev integration announcement with the later July 2024 acquisition date. The page is internally inconsistent on this point.Proposed correction (not yet applied)In July 2024, Brev.dev, a GPU cloud service that integrated Akash's compute network, was acquired by NVIDIA.

“An IEO hosted on BitMax raised $800,000 at $0.35 per token.”
reviewerBitMax IEO raised $800,000 at $0.35 per tokenThe $800,000 figure and the $0.35 price each appear in different, mutually inconsistent secondary sources; the cited cryptorank.io page could not be fetched directly (403) to resolve which combination it actually reports. - #13[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Token and Funding History
“As of mid-2026, AKT's market capitalization was approximately $202 million.”
reviewerAs of mid-2026, AKT market cap was approximately $202 millionAKT market cap is highly volatile; $202M is plausible within the observed range but could not be pinned to a dated, authoritative snapshot. - #18[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Security: Critical Vulnerability Disclosure (April-May 2024)
“The vulnerability was identified on April 28, 2024, reported on April 29, 2024, and Akash Network patched and deployed a fix to production on May 1, 2024 — a response time of approximately three days.”
reviewerVulnerability was identified April 28, 2024, reported April 29, 2024, patched May 1, 2024 (~3-day response)Could not confirm or refute the exact day-level dates from a source this reviewer could load directly; flagging the conflicting secondary indication for a human to check against the primary article. - #21[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Network Incident: Spam Attack (March 2025)
“The incident had downstream effects, with the average number of daily active leases declining 24% from Q1 to Q2 2025 (from 868 to 659 daily active leases).”

“Active providers declined 11% quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, partly attributed to smaller operators exiting as GPU pricing tightened and the network prepared for the Starcluster protocol-owned GPU supply initiative.”
reviewerActive providers declined 11% QoQ in Q3 2025, partly due to Starcluster preparationStarcluster itself is real and correctly characterized, but the specific 11% provider-decline figure rests on a paywalled Messari report this reviewer could not access, and other Q3 2025 data points (fee revenue, new leases) actually show growth, raising some doubt without being a direct contradiction of provider count specifically. - #28[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Partnerships, Integrations, and Market Position
“In Q4 2024, new leases increased 274% quarter-over-quarter.”
reviewerIn Q4 2024, new leases increased 274% quarter-over-quarterCould not independently verify this specific percentage. - #30[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in the timeline

reviewerDynamic inflation model adjusts between 4% and 8% annually, split 50/50 between community pool and stakersThe 4-8%/50-50 figures reflect the pre-Proposal-322 regime. Current on-chain data and an August 2026 third-party analysis both indicate the lower 3-4% band and 70/30 split are now in effect, though this reviewer could not access a dated primary source confirming the exact proposal-passage date.Proposed correction (not yet applied)A dynamic inflation model adjusts between 3% and 4% annually based on the network's bonded staking ratio, with inflation split 70/30 between community pool and stakers. - #23[stale][awaiting moderator]in section: Tokenomics Concerns: Reduced AKT Demand
“The current validator bonding rate has been reported below the 67% target, while inflation has reached its ceiling of 8%, limiting the network's ability to use inflation incentives to attract additional stakers.”
reviewerValidator bonding rate below 67% target while inflation has reached its ceiling of 8%The bonding-rate-below-target claim holds up, but the '8% ceiling' appears superseded by a 2026 governance change lowering the ceiling to 4%, which current on-chain data is consistent with.Proposed correction (not yet applied)The current validator bonding rate has been reported below the 67% target, while inflation has reached its new ceiling of 4%, limiting the network's ability to use inflation incentives to attract additional stakers.

How this fits together. The reviewer reads the published page and its cited sources and records one finding per claim. A human moderator decides whether each proposed correction is applied; those decisions, and the score changes they cause, appear in the audit log. Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
