akt tokens

Grid uses AKT (Akash Network's native token) for all payments. Learn how to acquire AKT and deposit it to your Grid wallet.

Finding AKT on Exchanges

AKT (Akash Network Token) is available on various centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX). Here are some popular options:

Centralized Exchanges (CEX)

  • Osmosis
  • Kraken
  • Gate.io
  • KuCoin
  • MEXC
  • Other major exchanges

Check each exchange for current AKT trading pairs and availability.

Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)

  • Osmosis DEX
  • Keplr Swap
  • Other Cosmos-based DEXs

DEXs allow you to swap tokens directly from your wallet without a centralized intermediary.

Note: Always verify the official contract address and use reputable exchanges. Check the official Akash Network website for the most up-to-date list of supported exchanges.

Deposit AKT to Grid Wallet

Once you have AKT, follow these steps to deposit it into your Grid wallet for use with Grid services.

Use this address to receive AKT

Use the copied wallet address to receive AKT from any method - whether you're withdrawing from an exchange, receiving from another wallet, or using any other method to send AKT. Simply paste the address as the recipient address when sending AKT. Your deposit will appear in your Grid wallet once the transaction is confirmed on the Akash Network.

Important: Always double-check the address before sending. Transactions on the blockchain are irreversible, so ensure you're sending to the correct address.

Payment Model

Per-Second Billing

Grid uses a per-second billing model, meaning you only pay for the exact time your resources are running. This provides cost efficiency and flexibility, as you're charged precisely for what you use.

Pay-as-you-go

With Grid's pay-as-you-go pricing, there are no upfront commitments or long-term contracts. Simply deposit AKT into your wallet and start using Grid services immediately.
