Akash Network

Context

Short-term research commitment to explore Solana’s account model and token extensions, and to produce a technical analysis and phased migration plan for moving the Akash Network compute marketplace to the Solana ecosystem.

Scope

Mapped Akash Network’s existing token mechanics and governance onto Solana primitives, evaluating Token-2022 extensions (transfer hooks, confidential transfers, permanent delegate, metadata pointer) for compliance and economic compatibility.

Deliverables

Technical analysis, comparative account-model writeup, and a multi-phase migration plan — bridging, on-chain primitive selection, governance translation, and validator/relayer considerations.
