Acurast is building the first decentralised physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that leverages billions of smartphones to create a global mesh of secure, verifiable computing power. By running workloads inside hardware-verified enclaves on consumer phones, the platform offers tamper-resistant and privacy-preserving computation at scale, eliminating the need for traditional data centers. The project has demonstrated strong traction on its incentivised testnet, onboarding more than 146,443 phones, processing over 85,784 deployments and 489 million on-chain transactions, and creating 179,000 on-chain accounts. Its Genesis Mainnet and native $ACU token are slated to go live on 17 November 2025, opening the network for public use. Future plans include expanding the “Cloud Rebellion” program to further grow device participation and reward contributors. Financially, the company has secured $11 million to date through a mix of non-dilutive grants and token-based rounds, including an oversubscribed $5.4 million public token sale on CoinList. Founder Alessandro De Carli and a roster of high-profile backers position Acurast to capitalise on rising demand for distributed, confidential compute.
