- Past due29 May 2026Akash Network said it would build a way to check provider hardware using trusted execution technology instead of manual audits.105 days overdue, not yet checked
Details
“Hardware Verification using Trusted Execution Currently, hardware provided by a provider is verified using a decentralized network of Auditors on Akash. While this approach is practical for a limited set of providers, the manual verification is proving challenging at scale, even more critical when incentives go onchain and are distributed without a human in the loop. Hardware Verification using Trusted Execution minimizes trust required to verify the accuracy of hardware provided by the providers on Akash network and serves as a fundamental building block for enabling Confidential Computing capabilities, as detailed in AEP-65.”

The existing flow — referenced via `CI_CD_TEMPLATE_ID` in `apps/deploy-web/src/config/remote-deploy.config.ts` — is in a broken state, hard-coded to a small set of JavaScript web frameworks, and relies on language detection that only reads `package.json`.

Details
“Burn Mint Equilibrium On Akash AKT is the native cryptocurrency of Akash Network and was initially conceived as the sole payment method. When a lease is established, tenants and providers agree on a price in AKT. These leases are open-ended, continuing until either party terminates them. However, the fluctuating value of AKT presents a challenge. Participants typically anticipate stable pricing equivalent to USD, and AKT's price instability compromises its utility as a payment mechanism.”

Details
“Enable CosmWasm Smart Contracts on Akash Network This AEP proposes enabling CosmWasm smart contract functionality on Akash Network to unlock programmable decentralized cloud infrastructure, enabling automated resource management, advanced settlement mechanisms, and on-chain governance capabilities. This enhancement leverages Pyth Network as a price oracle to support AEP-76's Burn Mint Equilibrium (BME) mechanism and extends Akash's capabilities beyond simple compute marketplaces into a fully programmable cloud platform.”
- Delivered22 March 2026Akash Network said it would build an on-chain module that supplies price data to other parts of its blockchain.delivered 22 March 2026Only the project's own word so far
Details
“On-Chain Oracle Module This proposal introduces `x/oracle`, a native Cosmos SDK module that provides trustworthy, aggregated price data for on-chain consumers. The module accepts price submissions from authorized CosmWasm contracts, calculates Time-Weighted Average Prices (TWAP), enforces staleness and deviation health checks, and exposes aggregated prices to other modules via keeper queries. A custom CosmWasm querier and message filter allow smart contracts to both read oracle parameters (including Wormhole guardian sets) and submit verified prices — forming the on-chain backbone for the Burn-Mint Equilibrium (AEP-76) and external oracle integrations such as Pyth (AEP-81).”

Details
“Confidential Compute via Kata Containers This AEP defines how tenants request confidential computing workloads on Akash Network and how providers advertise confidential compute capabilities. Tenants set `params.tee` in their SDL to either `cpu` or `cpu-gpu` to request confidential compute. The provider determines the actual TEE platform (AMD SEV-SNP or Intel TDX) at deployment time based on its hardware. Workloads run inside Kata Containers (micro-VMs) on TEE-capable providers. The spec covers CPU-only and GPU confidential computing, NVIDIA GPU passthrough to Kata VMs, attestation sidecars, and combined CPU+GPU attestation.”

- Delivered30 July 2026Akash Network said it would add confidential computing so workloads run without infrastructure providers being able to see inside them.delivered 28 July 2026Only the project's own word so far
Details
“Confidential Computing Public clouds (like AWS, Azure and GCP) support Confindential Computing because some customers request this before they agree to migrate workloads from their own DCs to public cloud infrastructure. While a vast majority of users don't ask the public clouds for this (and just blindly "trust" them) this is likely to become a challenge for Akash's growth particularly because infractstructure on Akash is owned by 10s if not 100s of independent providers.”

“Confidential Compute via Kata Containers This AEP defines how tenants request confidential computing workloads on Akash Network and how providers advertise confidential compute capabilities. Tenants set `params.tee` in their SDL to either `cpu` or `cpu-gpu` to request confidential compute. The provider determines the actual TEE platform (AMD SEV-SNP or Intel TDX) at deployment time based on its hardware. Workloads run inside Kata Containers (micro-VMs) on TEE-capable providers. The spec covers CPU-only and GPU confidential computing, NVIDIA GPU passthrough to Kata VMs, attestation sidecars, and combined CPU+GPU attestation.”

“Confidential Computing Public clouds (like AWS, Azure and GCP) support Confindential Computing because some customers request this before they agree to migrate workloads from their own DCs to public cloud infrastructure. While a vast majority of users don't ask the public clouds for this (and just blindly "trust" them) this is likely to become a challenge for Akash's growth particularly because infractstructure on Akash is owned by 10s if not 100s of independent providers.”
