What’s Behind the Akash Network (AKT) Price Surge?

The team behind the project shared quarterly revenue growth for Akash Network on their X account. They reported significant growth within the $AKT ecosystem, generating over $140k in revenue during Q1 2024. This growth is attributed to increasing interest in DePIN and rising demand from developers, leading to higher usage of the AKT token.

Additionally, on May 8, the Akash Network team provided details about Praetor, a user-friendly platform for setting up a provider on Akash. Praetor App simplifies the process of becoming an Akash Network cloud provider by offering a streamlined UI. It also eliminates the need for Command-line Interface usage.
