As they continue their incentivized “Akashian” testnet, Lunie is very pleased to welcome Akash as our latest network integration, which will also extend into their mainnet launch!

We have integrated full platform functionality of the Lunie web app, browser extension, Ledger support and mobile(iOS/Android) for the Akash testnet.

Users can send and receive testnet AKT tokens, stake, un-stake, re-stake, claim rewards and participate in governance proposals.

As always, we’ve provided a comprehensive staking guide for Akash which you can find on our Lunie Help Center.

Akash’s CEO Greg Osuri shared his thoughts about the integration:

While a fantastic, decentralized network like Akash ensures sovereignty, it shifts responsibility for securing sensitive information to the user, which makes User Experience one of the biggest challenges for decentralized networks’ adoption. How a user interacts with a platform is paramount for the success of a platform, and Lunie’s elegant approach ensures a frictionless experience while not compromising sovereignty.
