Another two new processor quests are live on the Cloud Rebellion. Stake ACU on Mainnet ➡️ 500 MIST every week. Delegate ACU on Mainnet ➡️ 500 MIST every week. Set it. Show up. Stack MIST. Repeat. hub.acurast.com/rebellion?utm_…

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…

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…

@decentrallugano with @wilhelmtroth @a_d_c_ @BillLaboon talking about the outlook for ethereum:0x8d010bf9c26881788b4e6bf5fd1bdc358c8f90b8

Your AI agent can now pay for its own compute. Works with Claude, Coinbase Agentic Wallet, and more. Until now, every agent had a leash. It could reason, plan and execute, but the moment it needed to pay for something, it had to stop and ask. As a user, you had to approve and a wallet had to be set up. The machine waited on the person. That gap is what's held the whole industry back, and x402 closes it. Acurast now supports x402 on Base. x402 is the payment standard built natively into agentic wallets, meaning agents can request, pay for, and deploy jobs on their own, no human in the loop. Here's how it works: 1. Agent requests a job deployment 2. Deploy Agent requests payment via x402 3. Payment confirmed. Job deployed. Agent keeps moving. No wallet setup, no token bridging and no manual approvals. Just agents doing what they were built to do. x402 handles the payments. Acurast handles the compute. 🤝 Try it now: docs.acurast.com/developers/dep…

@DaKampe @decentrallugano @trentmc0 @oceanprotocol I'll bring 2 for both!

@decentrallugano @trentmc0 @oceanprotocol I will open the conference in a yellow t-shirt to feel closer to Trent. @a_d_c_ can you help me out with one?

One of the defining voices at the intersection of AI, data, and decentralized infrastructure is coming to Decentralized Lugano 2026. @trentmc0, Founder of @oceanprotocol.

The next wave of AI isn't chatbots. It's agents, autonomous systems that execute tasks, move funds, and make decisions without a human in the loop. And right now, almost all of it runs on infrastructure owned by three companies. That's a problem, not just philosophically, but practically. Centralized compute means a single outage can take down thousands of agents at once. It means your execution environment can be monitored, throttled, or shut down. It means the stack you're building on has a kill switch you can't control. Acurast is built for what comes next. 250,000+ devices across 175+ countries. Each one running inside a TEE, a hardware-level secure enclave where even the device owner can't see what's being computed. That's what we're building. 👇 acurast.com/vision/?utm_so…

83 days since TGE, this is our momentum: +83,784 phones onboarded during this period +150M+ ACU tokens staked +130,746 deployments No signs of slowing down. The rebellion is just getting started. Any phone works, an old spare phone or your everyday device. Onboard in 5 minutes and start collecting rewards. Onboard here: acurast.com/onboarding/?ut…

How do we organize our governance? Acurast has successfully executed two referenda using @Polkadot’s OpenGov model, empowering our community to actively participate in shaping the network’s future. With OpenGov: - The stakeholders decide, ensuring a democratic process. - Votes happens on-chain, with conviction voting (token locking) to increase commitment - Multiple proposals can run simultaneously A scalable, transparent and community driven system. Exactly what Web3 governance should look like. Read more about how we use OpenGov here: docs.acurast.com/acurast-protoc…

20'000 ACU claimed in 37 seconds across 1'000 lootboxes. A new record! Claiming will be enabled within the next 24 hours. Winners will be able to claim their rewards on the lootbox page in the hub: hub.acurast.com/rebellion/loot… In case you missed this one, keep your eyes opened for upcoming drops.

Smartphones are the AI compute layer. They are decentralized, literally everywhere, and make up the vast majority of compute. The compute available in data centers is peanuts in comparison to what is in our pockets.

wonder what this beast would score on @Acurast videocardz.com/newz/android-p…

Most phones spend half their life on a charger doing nothing. Acurast changes that. Once onboarded, your phone helps run secure compute jobs in the background. No impact on your data or daily use. And you get rewarded for it. 245,000+ phones are already participating across 175+ countries. Turn idle power into something valuable. acurast.com/providers/

$ACU | @Acurast is leading the charge on @Polkadot: 🔹 46M transactions in March. 🔹 86% share of all ecosystem transactions (out of 53M total). 🔹 700M+ total on-chain transactions and counting. Powered by 244,000+ phones across 175+ countries, this massive volume reflects the real-world utility of a decentralized compute network. High frequency is driven by constant task attestations and off-chain computation proofs Scaling the decentralized cloud, one verifiable proof at a time. @a_d_c_ @OlenaAcurast

700,000,000 on-chain transactions and counting, powered by 244,000+ phones across 175+ countries. Grateful for every single one of you who made this happen. But we're not done. The billion is coming.

Builders, attention! 🚨 We’ve open sourced the indexer used for the hub, dashboard and explorers. You can now run your own indexer, customize it, and contribute back. We're excited to see what you'll build! github.com/Acurast/acuras…

Ticino, I’m coming home! In just a few weeks, I’ll be taking the stage at one of my absolute favorite annual events. See you there? @scytaledigital @Acurast

Welcoming Alessandro de Carli @a_d_c_ to the stage at Decentralized Lugano 2026 this April. As Co-Founder and President of the Board at @acurast, he joins the conversation on blockchain, AI, and digital infrastructure.

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…

A major cloud region in the Middle East just went down again thanks to drone strikes, for the second time this month. The provider’s advice to customers was to "Migrate your workloads to another location" So move your stuff from one building to another building and cross your fingers? We built Acurast to run across 240’000+ devices in over 140 countries. There's no single data center to take out. This is why decentralization matters. Not as a buzzword, but as infrastructure that brings resilience in times of chaos. This is why we are building @Acurast
