A flash update says Akash Network’s core team has selected Solana as the destination for a planned migration away from akashnet-2. However, the move remains conditional and has not been completed. Under the reported process, Akash must first secure governance approval on akashnet-2 and complete two independent audits before AKT can be issued on Solana as an SPL token. A subsequent vote would determine the actual switch date.

What Akash’s planned Solana move means now

This remains a reported plan, not a completed migration. The flash says Akash’s core team has selected Solana and intends to submit a migration proposal on akashnet-2. That means AKT has not yet moved, and akashnet-2 has not yet been shut down.

The distinction is important because earlier public information around Akash described the process as an evaluation rather than an execution phase. Search-result snippets from Akash’s AEP-79 roadmap page and a post by Greg Osuri referenced an earlier request-for-proposals stage, in which Akash was seeking migration roadmaps from candidate chains. The latest development is therefore more specific than that earlier assessment phase, but it still falls short of a completed chain transition.

For readers wondering whether AKT is already on Solana, the practical answer is no. The reported development is that Solana has been selected as the intended destination, with a governance-led process expected to follow before any token conversion or chain shutdown begins.

What must happen before AKT moves

Under the reported plan, AKT would move only after several conditions are met. The flash says the akashnet-2 proposal must reach a 33.4% quorum and secure majority approval. Two independent audits must also be completed before AKT is issued on Solana as an SPL token.

Under the same reported plan, holders would have access to a one-way migration portal for two years, with a 1:1 conversion ratio. The token code, decimals, and total supply would remain unchanged. However, this does not yet address key operational details, including whether self-custody users would need to claim manually, how exchange-held custodial balances would be handled, or the final Solana mint details.

Additional context comes from a Blockworks token-transparency filing snippet, which outlined a migration design involving bulk processing for custodial balances and claims for self-custody holders. It also stated that the timing and final mechanics had not been settled. That provides useful design context, but does not confirm that those precise steps have been finalized for the reported Solana plan.

The flash also describes a phased wind-down for the existing chain rather than an immediate shutdown. It says staking rewards would end at the switch, while existing workloads would continue to run for 90 days afterward. akashnet-2 would cease operations after that transition period. Validator roles and related income would end when the old chain shuts down, making the proposal significant not only for token holders but also for the network’s current validator set.

The timeline remains unresolved. According to the flash, the exact switch date would be decided through a separate governance vote after audits and migration rehearsals are completed. There is therefore still no confirmed date for when AKT would go live on Solana or when akashnet-2 would shut down.
