# **PIP Spot and Reservation Revenue Share** **Proposal** ## **1. Summary** This proposal amends PIP3.5 by introducing a fixed two-tier management fee that replaces the existing open-ended “net of expenses” treatment: * **Spot revenue:** 10% OCL management fee; 90% remitted to the Community Pool. * **Reservation revenue:** 30% OCL management fee; 70% remitted to the Community Pool. ## **2. Existing Framework** See the [Github discussion](https://github.com/orgs/akash-network/discussions/1408) regarding the change from the net of expense treatment. ## **3. Rationale** PIP3.5 GPU capacity is projecting between 80-100% utilization. Sustaining that level requires ongoing work the original framework anticipated only at a high level. The increase in daily network revenue from $2,297 to $4,950 is the direct result of OCL’s commercial work to source and retain demand in a supply-constrained market. The Management Fee structure proposed in this amendment is intended to make that work sustainable and transparent as the program scales, to enforce maximum accountability, and fairly share value that did not exist under the original PIP3.5 trajectory. ## **4. Program Performance and Impact of Demand Sourcing** Since PIP3.5 was authorized, OCL’s demand-sourcing work has materially expanded both utilization and pricing on PIP3.5 capacity relative to the assumptions underpinning the original program. ### **4.1 Per-GPU Pricing** See the [Github discussion](https://github.com/orgs/akash-network/discussions/1408) regarding the increases in prices on network over time. ### **4.2 Utilization** See the [Github discussion](https://github.com/orgs/akash-network/discussions/1408) regarding the increases in utilization on network over time. ### **4.3 Aggregate Revenue Impact** Combining pricing and utilization across PIP3.5 capacity, comparing utilization upon PIP3.5 launch to now:

Metric	Daily Avg. February 2026 Actual	Daily Avg. May 2026 Actual	June 2026 Projected
Weighted avg. utilization	58.87%	72.10%	85.00%
Daily network gross revenue	$2,296.73	$4,949.70	$7,500*
Annualized network gross revenue	$838,306	$1,806,641	$2,737,500
% Increase from February 2026	—	115.1%	226.6%

**Based on full A100 utilization and projections from May 28, 2026 daily spend of $7,130* ## **5. Mechanics** **Fee schedule.** The applicable Management Fee is applied to Gross Revenue (revenue collected by OCL from leases settled against PIP3.5 capacity, in AKT). The balance, after fee, is the Net Remittance to the Community Pool.

Revenue Type	OCL Management Fee	Community Pool Net Remittance
Spot	10%	90%
Reservation	30%	70%

**Fee composition.** The tables below show how each fee is built up. Components are stated as a percentage of Gross Revenue: **Spot — 10%**

Component	% of Gross
Fiat processing fees	4%
Trading fees and spread (USD→AKT conversion)	1%
Price exposure risk for managed deployments and other fees	5%
Total	10%

**Reservation — 30%**

Component	% of Gross
Fiat processing fees	4%
Trading fees and spread (USD→AKT conversion)	1%
Price exposure risk for managed deployments and other fees	5%
Demand sourcing and direct sales	10%
Counterparty risk compensation (SLAs)	10%
Total	30%

**Classification.** *Spot Revenue* is generated from leases settled through the open Akash marketplace without prior commitment. *Reservation Revenue* is generated from leases supported by a forward capacity commitment, including reserved instance contracts, committed compute arrangements, and capacity sold through a direct commercial channel. All reserved contracts are managed on-chain. **Settlement.** OCL applies the Management Fee and remits Net Remittance to the Community Pool monthly, denominated in AKT. **Income Reporting Commitment.** Beginning the next quarter following on-chain approval, OCL will publish a quarterly report covering: Gross Revenues, Management Fees retained, Net Remittance to the Community Pool, aggregate utilization of capacity, and any classification or settlement notes for the period. Reports are published within 30 days of quarter-end. Example: vote passes prior to July 1, 2026 so first reporting period will be Q3 2026. An additional report for June 2026 will be published within 60 days of on chain approval. ## **6. Scope and Duration** * **Scope:** Applies to revenue collected from PIP funded GPUs through on-chain leases. Verification of funds received and funds returned to the pool can be done by tracking wallet akash177gvgfknw3g99xqyjczpygjmqphw924dnk6zdz. * **Duration:** Effective from the first day of the calendar month following on-chain approval. Remains in effect indefinitely, until amended or terminated by a subsequent governance proposal. * **Initiation:** Begins retroactively as of June 1, 2026. * **Replacement of expense deduction:** The Management Fee replaces the open-ended expense deduction in prior PIPs for the duration of this amendment.
