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
