Acurast is the first Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) that unlocks the world’s largest untapped compute source that we all have in our pockets: smartphones. The protocol transforms idle phones into a global mesh of verifiable and confidential compute providers - no data centers, no central servers, no gatekeepers. Just secure, on-demand processing by everyone, for everyone. The core problem Acurast solves is the centralization, inefficiency, and fragility of traditional compute infrastructure. Today’s compute relies on heavy trust assumptions and a dangerous concentration of control in the hands of a few companies globally. This problem is further emphasized due to the increase in AI compute demand and upcoming innovations such as the agentic internet. As compute demand is growing fast, many regions worldwide do not have the infrastructure to spin up data centers. Yet, no one wants to be left behind in the AI game and have a significant disadvantage on the global stage. Furthermore, there is a shortage of compute chips, which are even gate-kept for political pressure that amplifies this race even more. Meanwhile, billions of dollars’ worth of high-end hardware sits idle in smartphones tucked away in pockets, drawers, or dozing on nightstands. Acurast flips the status quo of compute on its head, providing high-performance, confidential, decentralized compute from a permissionless network of phones distributed across the globe. It leverages hardware backed by billions in R&D yearly (think: Apple and Qualcomm). While centralized players fight over scarce chips and permissioned hardware, Acurast is quietly building the future-proof infrastructure where everyone can become part of before the rest of the world catches on.

The ACU token is what makes the entire decentralization of the protocol possible. Decentralization is one of Acurast's core values and impacts every protocol-related decision. ACU enables users to participate and interact with the protocol with these key functions: 1. Network Fees: As a very active orchestration layer (over 495M transactions on testnet) the Acurast network requires transaction fees to avoid spamming and to keep a high quality of service to this crucial component. 2. Incentivization of compute provision: Similar to how Bitcoin rewards miners for creating blocks, Acurast is incentivizing compute providers through fixed inflation. 3. Staking: The novel concept of Staked Compute allows Acurast to economically secure reliable, verifiable, and widely accessible compute resources through staking collateral. This enables participants, including those without hardware, to earn rewards, delegate stakes, and leverage restacking for enhanced capital efficiency and network governance. 4. Governance: With an on-chain treasury of over 24% allocation, which replenishes itself from part of the inflation. With token holders making the protocol and future development-related decisions. The demand of compute from enterprises, Web3 projects and developers as the unified settlement of compute supply and demand is denominated in the Acurast token. Staked Compute incentivizes the compute providers to provide an ACU denominated collateral to earn more rewards for the provided compute.

1. No Data-Center Lock-In Secure computation happens on consumer phones, not centralized server farms. 2. Massive, Global Reach With billions of phones, Acurast fosters resilience against outages and censorship while offering unparalleled scalability. 3. Inclusive Participation Anyone with a phone can join, creating a truly decentralized network rather than relying on a small set of specialized servers. Bottom Line Acurast uniquely combines: 1. Confidential Compute – ensuring workloads run privately and verifiably, removing the need to trust the operator. 2. Hardware Verification – cryptographically proving each smartphone’s authenticity, eliminating fake or spoofed nodes. 3. Genuine Decentralization – tapping into billions of consumer devices, as opposed to centralized data centers that supply the bulk of compute in other networks. This blend of confidential computing, secure hardware modules, and a massive, consumer-driven footprint makes Acurast the first truly decentralized compute network—delivering scale, security, and trustworthiness that raw-compute marketplaces and server-based TEE solutions simply cannot match.
