Giving away 5% of the network to developers as the bootstrap mechanism
Akash AMA Livestream (Akash Network)
“For our developer incentives, we’re giving away five percent of the network — last testnet we did was two percent, this testnet is three percent — so we are very committed to ensuring the developers [are] incentivized early. That will be our bootstrapping mechanism before the value of the network actually occurs in the token.” — 00:29:41
