Akash Staking Rewards End at Solana Cutover, Not Token Launch

Reward Structure Shifts With Chain Migration

Akash Network has put forward a governance proposal that would terminate existing staking rewards at the marketplace cutover to Solana, rather than waiting for a new token launch. The change separates legacy chain incentives from future provider and treasury emissions.

The proposal restructures how AKT rewards flow. Instead of rewarding stakers on the old chain until token launch, rewards stop when the marketplace migrates. A separate emissions program would then issue AKT to providers and the treasury.

The plan decouples the end of old-chain rewards from future incentive programs. This means stakers on the legacy chain will stop earning rewards at the cutover date, not at a later token launch. A new emissions framework will govern future AKT distribution to providers and the treasury.

Will Stakers Lose Out Under the New Plan?

Numerical parameters for the new program remain unresolved. The proposal leaves specific emission rates and caps for later definition.

Proposal 346 is currently in voting until November 2 at 15:02:58 GMT. A separate proposal must set marketplace parameters. Stakers on the old chain face a shorter reward window under this plan.

The timing shift could affect staking yields. Providers and the treasury will receive AKT under the new emissions program, but the exact amounts are still being defined.
