AKT launches on Solana as Akash begins its Cosmos migration

Akash Network’s native token is now available on Solana through Sunrise as the project starts a planned move away from Cosmos.

Akash Network’s native token is now available on Solana through Sunrise as the project starts a planned move away from Cosmos. Solana (SOL) is trading at ₹7,534 ($80.08), up 2.0% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Crypto.news, with live market data added, as of Fri, 13 Nov 2026 07:00:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The launch connects AKT holders with Solana applications while initiating Akash’s broader blockchain migration, potentially expanding the token’s utility and the project’s reach.

Key takeaways
  • AKT became available on Solana through Sunrise
  • The launch begins Akash’s planned migration from Cosmos
  • Solana DeFi TVL stands at $4.94 billion
  • SOL trades at $78.48, down 5.36% over 24 hours

Crypto.news reported that Akash Network’s native AKT token has launched on Solana through Sunrise. The November 12 announcement marks the first operational step in Akash Network’s planned migration away from Cosmos, according to the outlet’s summary of the announcement. The deployment gives AKT holders access to applications within Solana’s decentralized finance ecosystem. Its significance also extends beyond the token listing: the launch is tied to Akash’s underlying migration process, making Solana an important part of the network’s next phase rather than merely another trading venue for AKT. Crypto.news is the only outlet in the supplied coverage, so the launch details are not independently corroborated here. No separate AKT price, transfer volume or adoption figure was provided, and the reported Solana DeFi total value locked of $4.94 billion comes from DeFiLlama rather than Crypto.news.

Live market conditions were weak as the migration began. Solana’s SOL token traded at $78.48, falling 5.36% over 24 hours and 12.08% over seven days, while its market capitalization stood at $46.43 billion. The broader crypto market was broadly lower, with total capitalization at $2.36 trillion and Bitcoin down 7.51% over 24 hours. The Fear and Greed index registered 20, classified as Extreme Fear. The AKT launch therefore entered a risk-off market environment, while Solana’s $4.94 billion DeFi TVL provided measurable context for the ecosystem into which the token was being introduced. What to watch is whether AKT activity develops alongside the broader migration and whether its integration translates into sustained use rather than a one-time availability event.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₹7,979.97 (about $80.08), down 3.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
