+
+To ensure your Akash node maintains accurate time synchronization, we recommend using `chrony` over `systemd-timesyncd`. Chrony is a versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and ensures better time accuracy and reliability.
+
+The guide is broken down into the following sections:
+
+- [Installation](#installation)
+
+## Installation
+
+Chrony is straightforward to install and configure. Run the following command to install chrony:
+
+```bash
+apt -y install chrony
+```
+
+Chrony automatically disables the systemd-timesyncd service upon installation, so no additional configuration is needed.
+
+**Rationale**
+
+We found that some servers were out of sync, and all attempts to fix `systemd-timesyncd` were unsuccessful. Chrony, used in various production environments, ensures perfect time synchronization.
