Akash on Shared Security

Estimated Completion: 12/31/2026

This RFP seeks proposals from established Layer 1 protocols to become the shared-security provider for the Akash Network, a decentralized cloud computing marketplace on the Cosmos SDK. The goal is to transition from Akash's sovereign chain to a shared-security model to address high capital inefficiency from AKT staking and excessive operational overhead. This move will adopt a pay-per-use security model, reducing the liquidity burden and allowing the team to focus on product innovation, particularly for GPU-intensive AI workloads. The partner must ensure scalable, robust, and decentralized security, maintaining strong IBC interoperability. Proposals must detail the L1's Security Model, Technical Integration, Scalability, Governance, Economic/Legal Considerations, and Ecosystem Profile to enable Akash to leverage external security while preserving application sovereignty.
