Use Cases

Explore the key use cases that make AKC essential for developers, validators, users, and ecosystem builders.

1. Governance and Voting

AKC holders have the right to participate in the on-chain governance of the Akashic ecosystem. This includes voting on proposals related to:

  • Network upgrades

  • Protocol parameters

  • Fee structures

  • Ecosystem development initiatives

This mechanism ensures a decentralized decision-making process and empowers the community to influence the future of the Akashic platform​.

2. Staking and Restaking for Network Security

AKC tokens are used in both staking and restaking frameworks:

  • Staking is used for participating in transaction validation, DVS (Decentralized Validation Services), and securing subjective and objective operations within the UTN.

  • Restaking enables users to delegate assets like BTC/ETH while still earning pooled security assurances using AKC as incentives.

Both staking types are critical to ensuring availability, fault-tolerance, and reliability in decentralized services​.

3. Transaction and Service Fees

AKC is the default currency for:

  • Paying for cross-chain transaction fees

  • Covering push service and UTN data transmission costs

  • Handling network-level protocol operations

This ensures a consistent revenue model while incentivizing validators and sustaining platform operations​.

4. Medium of Exchange in the Ecosystem

AKC acts as a native currency across the Akashic platform:

  • Used in decentralized applications like DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, and MetaMall

  • Supports service payments, liquidity contributions, NFT purchases, and more

It provides frictionless economic interaction across the multi-chain ecosystem​.

5. Cross-Chain Operations

AKC facilitates seamless value and data flow across different blockchains:

  • Users can conduct asset transfers between chains

  • Relay nodes and validators earn AKC for supporting and validating these operations

This is a key use case tied directly to the UTN architecture​.

6. Incentive and Reward Mechanisms

AKC tokens are used to reward:

  • Validators and stakers securing the network

  • Developers launching DApps or infrastructure tools

  • Users engaging with ecosystem services

These mechanisms drive engagement and foster long-term growth​.

7. Exchange of Data and Traffic Rights

AKC enables the monetization of cross-chain traffic and on-chain data:

  • Developers and partners can use AKC to access analytics, user data insights, or advertising channels

  • Facilitates commercial value exchange between participants within the ecosystem​.

8. Purchase of UTN Servers and Licenses

Enterprises and users can use AKC to purchase:

  • Ubiquitous Trust Network node licenses

  • Validator hardware and DVS server permissions

This use case supports deeper technical participation in the UTN and provides infrastructure funding​.

9. Support for DApp Development

AKC is used by developers to:

  • Deploy DApps

  • Pay for gas and on-chain execution

  • Access multi-chain integration services

This promotes broader adoption and diversification of the Akashic ecosystem
