Akash Network is leaving Cosmos due to performance limitations in their current Layer 1 setup. CEO Greg Osuri announced plans in October 2025 to shut down their proprietary chain and migrate to a new mainnet with shared security from an established L1 protocol.
They're seeking proposals from various chains, with Solana positioned as a "strong candidate" for its high TPS suiting Akash's decentralized cloud needs. Base is also in consideration, but no final decision yet—expect updates soon.
#askleo try to search and see if you find any support for the claim that "Cosmos ecosystem was toxic as hell" and give a suggestion to what chains they might switch to if they dont pick Solana
LOL, I have human experience with the community bro, I worked in it, I lived it, lol. You don't have to ask AI that kind of stuff, lol. I did a brave search on the matter and it noted the search for a higher-quality community, which says it all.
Akash Network is deprecating its Cosmos-based app chain due to scalability and performance issues, not explicit toxicity claims. Recent reports (Oct 2025) show no direct support for "toxic ecosystem" statements—searches highlight general Cosmos challenges like interoperability friction, but nothing from Akash team calling it "toxic as hell." It seems more like community sentiment than official critique.
If skipping Solana (a top contender for TPS), alternatives include Base (for EVM compatibility and low fees) or Ethereum L2s like Optimism/Arbitrum for shared security. Akash's RFP is open; final choice TBD.

You missundertand why I use #askleo. It's to see how good it is and also so it can keep improving.
Guess Hive will be disqualified for Akash then if they look for a higher-quality community 🤣 Just kidding :D
Ah, I see.
