Indexed Akash NetworkBlockchain Data
Akash Network is the Cosmos appchain that sells computing capacity rather than block space, matching tenants and providers in a reverse auction that settles out of escrow block by block.
How to query Akash Network data with SonarX
Instant Data Share
Available todaySnowflake, and file dumps to your object storage
Query Akash Network blockchain data with plain SQL from a live database inside your own Snowflake account, populated with the indexed chain dataset. There is no pipeline to build and no second copy to store. The same dataset ships as file dumps to your own object storage for lakes and warehouses that are not Snowflake.
- Full history as a Snowflake data-share
- File dumps to S3 or your own object storage
- Real-time delivery, current to chain tip — on request
Used for:
- Analytics teams already on Snowflake that want Akash Network data beside their existing tables
- Fund accounting and treasury reporting that reconciles against a fixed history
- Cross-chain questions answered in one SQL statement instead of one query per chain
- Loading Akash Network history into BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift or a Spark lake
- Replacing a self-hosted indexer and the engineering time that keeps it running
- Serving one governed dataset to several desks without copying it per team
Realtime API
Enabled on requestREST over the indexed dataset
Query indexed Akash Network records over REST, reading the same dataset the share reads, with no warehouse in the path.
Used for:
- Applications that need one answer rather than a table scan
- Customer-facing screens where query latency is visible to a user
- Services that have no data warehouse and do not want to run one
- Prototyping against production data before committing to a share
- Backend checks that run per request instead of per batch
- Teams that want indexed Akash Network data behind their own API layer
Akash Network data: frequently asked questions
What is Akash Network?
Akash Network has run a public mainnet since 2020, and it sells computing capacity rather than block space. Validators run a Tendermint BFT protocol under proof of stake, AKT is the native token in uakt denominations, and accounts are bech32 strings with an akash prefix. The chain is a market rather than a platform for applications. A tenant publishes a deployment describing the resources it wants, providers answer with bids in a reverse auction, the tenant accepts one and that creates a lease, and the lease is paid from an escrow account that settles as blocks are produced. Providers are identified by certificates and by audit attestations signed by third parties, so provider identity is itself a chain record. Containers themselves run on the providers’ own hardware. The network operates today under its second chain identifier, which is where any long history has to start.
Akash Network data on SonarX
SonarX indexes the marketplace as the chain records it: blocks and transactions with their typed messages, deployments and the resource groups inside them, bids and closed orders, leases and their state changes, escrow accounts and their settlement, provider certificates and audits, staking records, and derived balances. Those records land in the normalized model SonarX uses on every network it covers.
Full historical coverage is available today as a data-share or a file delivery. Real-time delivery is enabled on request.
How SonarX indexes Akash Network
Money here does not move in transactions. A lease settles by drawing on escrow every block, so spend on compute is the difference between two heights rather than a payment anyone signed, and a cost series has to be accumulated across ranges instead of summed from transfers. The market side compounds that: most bids never become leases, so a large share of the records describe offers that moved no value at all, and treating them as activity overstates it. Leases also close for several reasons, an exhausted escrow among them, which makes lease duration a question about balances.
What teams build with Akash Network data
Provider revenue accounting is the first workload: what a provider earned per lease and per period, derived from escrow settlement rather than from invoices. Capacity market research is the second, reading bids against accepted leases to see what resources actually cleared and how the spread between asking and winning bids behaved, which is much the same exercise as studying the block-space market on Celestia. Reward and delegation accounting is the third, and staking analytics covers that shape of work across chains. Tenant spend attribution is a fourth, and teams looking at networks that pay for physical work usually pull IoTeX into the same warehouse.
Getting Akash Network data from SonarX
Tell us the delivery target, how far back you need and how fresh it has to be, and the share is scoped against that. Akash Network coverage is provisioned on request, so tell us the history depth and the delivery target and we will scope it. Say whether the market side or the settlement side leads, because the two are scoped differently. The published coverage matrix for every network SonarX indexes lives in the data documentation, and the rest of the catalogue is at all indexed chains.
Is there an Akash Network data API?
APIs over indexed Akash Network data are enabled on request: the same indexed dataset the Snowflake share reads, served over REST once provisioned. Tell us the lookup pattern you need.
How do I get Akash Network data into Snowflake?
SonarX provisions a data-share into your own Snowflake account. The share appears as a database you query with SQL, so there is no pipeline to build and no second copy to store, and it stays current as SonarX advances the indexing pipeline.
How far back does Akash Network coverage go?
The historical data-share and file delivery cover the network's recorded history and are provisioned on request. The network runs under its second chain identifier, so a series that reaches back to the first mainnet spans two of them, and the share is scoped against the depth an analysis actually needs.
How is payment for compute recorded on Akash Network?
As escrow drawdown rather than as invoices. A lease is funded by an escrow account that settles as blocks are produced, so a tenant's spend exists as changing account state instead of as a series of payments somebody signed. Cost analysis is a query across a block range rather than a sum of transfers.
Does Akash Network data show what the workloads were doing?
No. Containers run on provider infrastructure away from the chain, so what the history holds is the agreement and the money: the deployment and its resource request, the bids it attracted, the lease that was accepted, and the escrow that paid for it. Machine utilization and uptime are not part of this record.
