Solana Foundation (via Lazer Technologies)
Akash Network → Solana migration research
Account model, token extensions, and phased migration plan delivered alongside the Foundation’s head of engineering.
Deep-dive coming soon. This page will detail the architecture, design decisions, on-chain / off-chain layout, and engineering trade-offs.
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.
Stack
- Solana
- Token Extensions (Token-2022)
- Anchor
- Pinocchio
- Akash Network
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.
