Acurast is shifting the cloud compute paradigm by investing $11 million to build a decentralized network using consumer smartphones. This innovative decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) turns edge devices into verifiable, confidential compute nodes. By leveraging idle smartphones, Acurast offers AI and web applications a lower-cost, lower-latency, and more resilient alternative to traditional centralized cloud providers. The mainnet and native token, $ACU, are set to go live today, marking a major step toward democratizing global computing resources.
