Acurast secures $11M to build mobile-based decentralized computing

Acurast secures $11M to build mobile-based decentralized computing

The post Acurast secures $11M to build mobile-based decentralized computing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Acurast, a startup building decentralized physical infrastructure, announced a total of $11M in funding to date. The company’s goal is to turn smartphones into a global network of distributed computing resources.  Acurast is recovering the DePIN narrative, aiming to build another decentralized network for distributed computing. The company aims for a global mesh of connected smartphones, with confidential verification.  “Mainnet marks the moment Acurast becomes a genuinely open, global compute fabric ready for real-world integration. Billions of smartphones are the most battle-tested hardware on earth,” said Alessandro De Carli, founder of Acurast. Following a raise of $11M, Acurast also announced its Genesis Mainnet launch, available from November 17. The launch will coincide with the TGE for the native ACU token.  Acurast tapped leading VC backers in the past two years In total, Acurast has raised over $25M from a mix of ICO sales, VC backing, and angel investors. The most recent round of $11M includes non-dilutive grants and token-based rounds, performed between 2023 and 2025.  The company also held an over-subscribed public token sale in May 2025, raising an additional $5.4M.  Acurast also tapped leading backers from other crypto projects, including Dr. Gavin Wood, Leonard Dörlochter (Founder, peaq), Michael van de Poppe (Founder, MN Capital), Scytale Digital, Ogle (Founder, GlueNet; CoinDesk’s Most Influential), and Vineet Budki (CEO, Sigma Capital). The company also gained support from the Web3 Foundation. Acurast has reached its product launch stage after spending years with limited activity and no token trading. Currently, the DePIN narrative remains subdued, but Acurast showed startups are still building.  Acurast has already ran its product in its testnet version, with 146,443 smartphone users onboarded. The incentivized testnet showed distributed computation could scale for enterprise-grade usage. Acurast uses verification for all device computing power Unlike other DePIN projects, which rely on self-reported…

Acurast Raises $11M to Use Phones for Confidential Compute

Acurast Raises $11M to Use Phones for Confidential Compute

The post Acurast Raises $11M to Use Phones for Confidential Compute appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Smartphone-based decentralized confidential compute project Acurast has raised $11 million, claiming tamper-resistant execution on consumer phones and secure hardware verification. According to a Thursday announcement shared with Cointelegraph, Acurast raised $11 million from Ethereum co-founder and Polkadot founder Gavin Wood, MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe and GlueNet founder Ogle, among others. The project aims to launch its mainnet on Nov. 17, and plans to release its native token ACU alongside it. Acurast founder Alessandro De Carli said “billions of smartphones are the most battle-tested hardware on earth” and that the company hopes to reduce costs by leveraging them for “verifiable, confidential compute.” The network explorer reports that nearly 150,000 phones have already joined the network and processed over 494 million transactions, enabling the deployment of almost 94,200 services. “We remove the gatekeepers, reduce the costs, and bring secure, trustless computation to anyone, anywhere, and all without a data center,” De Carli claimed. Acurast network data. Source: Acurast Related: Decentralized compute networks will democratize global AI access Confidential compute on third-party hardware? Acurast says it enables confidential computing — where users with physical access to smartphones running the node software cannot access the data used for computation — to be provided by anyone. This requires a setup that ensures, to a high degree of certainty, that the smartphone’s owner cannot alter the software in a way that compromises this secrecy. To this end, the project’s developers implemented a series of checks to ensure that the smartphone is running manufacturer-approved software that would not compromise its security assumptions. Still, similar measures have been implemented by banking app developers for many years, only for communities of custom firmware such as Graphene OS to find workarounds that allow them to run the applications on their non-sanctioned setups. De Carli said that this…

Why Crypto’s Infrastructure Hasn’t Caught Up With Its Ideals

Why Crypto’s Infrastructure Hasn’t Caught Up With Its Ideals

The post Why Crypto’s Infrastructure Hasn’t Caught Up With Its Ideals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Periodic service disruptions and capacity strain on centralized cloud infrastructure have created an opening for companies building distributed networks. Supporters of the distributed approach argue that spreading workloads across several smaller nodes reduces concentration risk. They say the model could be especially valuable in sectors with high computing demand and low tolerance for downtime, such as AI, gaming and finance. “Over time, as decentralized infrastructure matches or exceeds the performance of centralized clouds, reliance on single providers will naturally decline,” Carlos Lei, CEO and co-founder of DePIN-based connectivity marketplace Uplink, told Cointelegraph. In today’s tech landscape, decentralized infrastructure often refers to blockchain, which is designed to distribute trust and reduce single points of failure by spreading verification and data storage. However, the infrastructure that enables access to these networks still largely relies on centralized cloud platforms. Crypto traders reported issues when centralized cloud services crashed. Source: Matt Flint Dependence on the Big Three and centralized cloud risks In 2024, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud — also known as the “Big Three” — accounted for around 68% of the global cloud infrastructure revenue, according to Synergy Research Group, making them the default hosting environment for many enterprise and blockchain applications. Cloud revenue has surged alongside generative AI services. Source: Synergy Research Group But the concentration means that outages, pricing changes or regional capacity limits at any one of these providers can ripple across multiple industries. “For example, with the AWS outage in October, Snapchat, Roblox, Fortnite, Kindle — all of them went down completely,” Nökkvi Dan Ellidason, CEO of tech infrastructure company Gaimin, told Cointelegraph. “Coinbase, which is a financial service, was affected massively.” Related: Privacy tools are rising behind institutional adoption, says ZKsync dev These major platforms lower upfront costs through programs that provide a cushion…
