This is Python SDK for Akash Network, a decentralized compute marketplace. This SDK provides a Python interface for interacting with the Akash blockchain, enabling developers to build applications on Akash's decentralized infrastructure.

Compatibility

Compatible with Akash Node v0.38.0 and v0.38.1

Quick example

Basic usage - mainnet
from akash.client import AkashClient
from akash.wallet import AkashWallet

wallet = AkashWallet.generate()
print(f"Address: {wallet.address}")

client = AkashClient("https://rpc.akashnet.net:443")

if client.health_check():
    print("Connected to Akash mainnet!")

    status = client.rpc_query("status")
    network = status.get('node_info', {}).get('network')
    height = status.get('sync_info', {}).get('latest_block_height')
    print(f"Network: {network}, Block: {height}")

    known_address = "akash17xpfvakm2amg962yls6f84z3kell8c5lserqta"
    balance = client.bank.get_balance(known_address, "uakt")
    print(f"Balance: {int(balance) / 1_000_000:.6f} AKT")
Banking operations - send tokens
from akash import AkashClient, AkashWallet

recipient_wallet = AkashWallet.generate()
wallet = AkashWallet.from_mnemonic("your twelve word mnemonic phrase here")
client = AkashClient("https://rpc.akashnet.net:443")

result = client.bank.send(
    wallet=wallet,
    to_address=recipient_wallet.address,
    amount="1000000",
    denom="uakt",
    fee_amount="5000",
    gas_limit=200000,
    memo=""
)

if result.success:
    print(f"Transaction successful!")
    print(f"Hash: {result.tx_hash}")
else:
    print(f"Transaction failed: {result.raw_log}")
Governance operations
from akash.client import AkashClient
from akash.wallet import AkashWallet

wallet = AkashWallet.from_mnemonic("your mnemonic")
client = AkashClient("https://rpc.akashnet.net:443")

proposals = client.governance.get_proposals()
print(f"Found {len(proposals)} proposals")

result = client.governance.vote(
    wallet=wallet,
    proposal_id=42,
    option="YES"
)
