Is Akash Network (AKT) Halal or Haram?

Shariah compliance review of Akash Network (AKT) by Islamic finance scholars at EthicalNode, with separate verdicts for trading and for staking.

Trading verdict: Comfortable

Akash Network is a Supercloud spearheading a paradigm shift in cloud computing, disrupting conventional cloud services, and pioneering a revolution in access to essential cloud resources. Leveraging the power of blockchain technology, Akash Network has developed an open-source, decentralized, marketplace for cloud computing, offering an unprecedented level of speed, efficiency, and affordability. This innovation is set to transform the way users perceive and utilize cloud services.

Staking verdict: Comfortable

Akash is open-source Supercloud that lets users buy and sell computing resources securely and efficiently. You can compare Akash to Airbnb for server hosting. The Akash Marketplace is where users lease computing resources from Cloud providers before deploying a Docker container on the Akash Container Platform. Staking rewards come from securing the blockchain and we see nothing inherently wrong with providing validation of blocks to the protocol.
