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

- MEXC
- Other major exchanges
Check each exchange for current AKT trading pairs and availability.
Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)

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

Deposit AKT to Grid Wallet
Once you have AKT, follow these steps to deposit it into your Grid wallet for use with Grid services.
Navigate to the billing view
Log into your Grid account and navigate to the billing section. This is where you can view your current balance and manage your AKT deposits.
Press on the copy button
In the billing view, you'll see your Grid wallet address. Click the copy button next to the address to copy it to your clipboard. This is the address you'll use to receive AKT deposits.
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.
