One hour. One request every 30 seconds. Zero dropped calls. Zero cloud servers. In an exploratory collaboration, @POKTnetwork and @nodeghostai ran a full AI gateway on @Acurast's smartphone network using Cargo, combining inference and web search together, entirely on phones. Not a single request failed. This marks the first production AI gateway running entirely on smartphones, with no cloud infrastructure involved. read more: acurast.com/blog/partnersh…

I really don't understand all these project switching from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. The gras is not greener on the other side. Releases are entierly controlled by Chainlink Labs, as well as the selection of node operators that host who knows where and with what security aspect in place. What am I missing?

The Acurast Hub just got a fresh new look. Redesigned to make your experience smoother from the moment you log in. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think 👇 hub.acurast.com/?utm_source=x&…

Acurast just shipped a huge new product update: compute containers With Codename: Cargo we're turning smartphones into decentralized supercomputers. Built to run anything across our global network of smartphones. Websites, apps, AI agents, trading bots, ML models, that thing you vibecoded last weekend. Full Python, Go, Rust, C++. If it runs on Linux, it runs on Acurast. Until today, Acurast was a JavaScript network. Cargo changes that. The full Linux ecosystem is now deployable on Android devices in the network, with the same trust model that secured every workload before it. Confidential by default. No hyperscaler required. Stress-testing on Canary is underway. Mainnet is next. Read full announcement: acurast.com/blog/feature-u…

The biggest platform upgrade since Mainnet, explained by our Co-Founder @a_d_c_ Acurast is moving from a Node.js-only runtime to full Linux-based containers. Every Android Acurast Processor on the network now functions as a decentralized server with confidential execution at the hardware level. No language barriers, full Debian software ecosystem, SSH access, and a VPS-like experience. What you can build: autonomous AI agents, browser automation across thousands of devices, algorithmic trading bots, even game servers. Running across the Acurast network on Android smartphones in 175+ countries. Decentralized Cloud. Same developer experience. No compromises. The future of compute does not live in a data center, it lives in your pocket. 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=d2_Aap…

@k0k1eth @swissborg @Acurast 🇨🇭

🇨🇭 Part two. Three more Swiss projects that most of CT never talks about. Europe needed a regulated crypto platform that could compete with Coinbase. A team in Lausanne built it before anyone else tried. @SwissBorg launched in 2017 and spent years solving a problem nobody wanted to touch. How do you build a crypto platform that is MiCA approved, licensed across Europe, and still competitive on product with the biggest exchanges in the world? Their Meta-Exchange aggregates liquidity across dozens of CEXs and DEXs and executes the optimal route automatically. They built a launchpad giving retail users access to pre-TGE deals previously locked behind VC relationships. And they just closed a Mastercard partnership for a crypto debit card accepted at over 150 million locations. Over 1 million users. While everyone watched the US exchanges, SwissBorg was building the infrastructure compliant crypto in Europe actually runs on. Then in Zurich, two founders identified the single biggest blocker to institutional capital entering crypto. It wasn’t volatility. It wasn’t technology. It was the absence of a regulated counterparty that institutions could legally trust. Think about what banks were doing to crypto companies in 2017. Closing accounts. Refusing to onboard. Treating digital assets like financial crime waiting to happen. Most traditional banks are still doing this today. @sygnumofficial went the other direction. They got a full Swiss FINMA banking licence, built every product institutions actually need, and opened for business as the world’s first regulated digital asset bank. In January 2025 they hit a $1 billion valuation. By December they had partnered with BNY for USD settlement. Over 2,000 institutional clients across 80+ countries are now moving real capital through a bank that chose crypto when every other bank was running from it. Most banks are still figuring out whether to let a crypto company open a basic account. Sygnum was already a bank. Same city. Same year. A completely different angle on the same problem. Hany Rashwan and Ophelia Snyder saw that institutional capital still couldn’t touch crypto directly. Pension funds and asset managers needed a regulated security they could buy through infrastructure they already used for stocks and bonds. November 2018. Crypto had just lost 80% of its value. Every institution that had flirted with the space had quietly backed away. Rashwan and Snyder listed HODL anyway. @21Shares put the world’s first physically-backed crypto ETP on the SIX Swiss Exchange with $5 million in assets and zero guarantee anyone would care. By mid-2025 they had surpassed $10 billion in AUM and held roughly one third of all European crypto ETP market share. In 2025 alone their secondary market turnover surged 56% to over $11.9 billion. The US didn’t approve a spot Bitcoin ETF until January 2024. Switzerland had physically-backed crypto ETPs on regulated exchanges six years earlier. Every time an institution buys crypto exposure through a regulated exchange today, the structure traces back to one product, listed in a bear market, by two people in Zurich who didn’t wait for permission. One country. Three more companies. All building the rails the rest of the industry runs on. Part three is coming 👀

I've been regurarly using Claude Code over the past week and the difference in performance you get troughout the day is more than noticeable even on a higher paid plan. On top of that the experience even just a few weeks ago was much better then it is now. And it all boils down to compute, conpute that is required to run these prompts and compute that is available at a given time. What baffels me with this ever increasing compute shortage, is why companies push not more aggressivle towards where an abundancr of compute is available and accessible across the globe. It's not in data centers that have to be built with billions of dollars of investment just to catch up. It's in your home, pocket, drawer.

Dynamic Pricing is coming to Acurast. The community voted, the referendum passed. Compute pricing on the network just changed fundamentally. No more flat rates that don't differentiate between phones. Every phone will now be priced automatically based on real on-chain hardware benchmarks, updated every epoch. A fairer system. Stronger hardware gets better pricing. Developers see transparent, verified rates. And each execution consumes compute fees from the deployment budget. 443'000+ deployments. 243'000+ devices. Every one of them now part of a real compute marketplace that prices itself. Full breakdown: acurast.com/blog/announcem…

Something is coming to Acurast. Every block. Every deployment. Every transaction. Fully visible. Soon. 👀

What a ride. 🚀 ​It’s been 3.5 years of building, countless community events around the globe spreading the word, and over 165,000 onboarded phones. All of this has led us to our next major milestone: the Acurast Mainnet launch. ​Looking back, @Acurast has already grown bigger and delivered a more disruptive impact on real-world use cases than I could have ever imagined when we started. We are turning mobile phones into legitimate, decentralized infrastructure. ​But this launch isn't the finish line. It’s just the start to scale this vision beyond what we see today. ​Tuesday, January 20. We are ready. ​To the early believers who saw the vision before the code was written, the team who built through the nights, and every single person running a node today: thank you. This milestone belongs to you.

Rebels 🫡, Word is out, TGE coming January, 20, 2026!

The Acurast team is building for the long term, focused on real adoption and sustainable growth, not short term hype.
