Post-upgrade roadmap: verifiable compute and VMs, with demand to follow
Akash Founder: Why We're Leaving our Sovereign L1 Behind (Akash Alpha)
“I feel like it’s going to be a new chapter post Mainnet 14 upgrade… that is going to set a new cadence in terms of how fast we’ll be shipping features. And that made me comfortable enough to commit to a public roadmap that I published on my Twitter… Verifiable compute I think is huge… virtual machines — again, 90% of AI uses virtual machines. So I’m really excited for these two capabilities, and I think the demand will catch up.” — 00:22:16
Context: BME (burn mechanism) targeted ~1 month post-upgrade; JWT support shipping so providers needn’t stay online for application operations.
