Akash founder Greg Osuri criticized Cosmos’ recent licensing change as “hostile,” citing new restrictions that prevent Akash from using a key component in production or commercial environments. The move complicates Akash’s transition to a shared security layer. The incident raises concerns about potential security risks for projects relying on Cosmos components. Amid ongoing tensions, new token listings on platforms like KuCoin may reflect shifting developer priorities.

According to ME News, on April 16 (UTC+8), Akash founder Greg Osuri stated that Cosmos has altered the licensing terms for a key component, rendering Akash unable to use it in production, for any commercial purpose, or to provide services to third parties based on this component. Greg Osuri noted that although Akash had previously announced its migration to a shared security layer, it had still intended to retain certain Cosmos integrations, at minimum preserving interoperability; however, the new licensing terms make it nearly impossible for Akash to remain within the Cosmos ecosystem, which he described as an “adversarial” change.
