“There will be some friction, I would imagine, for using Akash tokens to pay for compute. So to alleviate that friction, we wanted to introduce stable currencies… using USDX to pay for cloud compute is the first use case for IBC that we really want to, like, get out.” — 00:30:19
Context: IBC discussion (spans into the 00:31:05 block); multi-currency settlement via Kava’s USDX framed as Akash’s first IBC use case. Akash did later add USDC settlement (2023).
