AI compute demand is rising, and the numbers show the infrastructure side is still highly centralized. + traditional cloud providers control most of the capacity + building new data centers takes years and significant capital + smartphones already exist in the billions and sit idle most of the time ➜ the gap between available consumer hardware and usable verifiable compute is still large. that’s the setup for @Acurast, a decentralized compute network that turns ordinary smartphones into compute nodes. how it works: + workloads run inside the phone’s Trusted Execution Environment + execution is confidential and verifiable without trusting the device owner + developers deploy serverless jobs, APIs, or LLM inference + phone owners earn $ACU by contributing capacity $ACU is used to pay for compute, reward providers, and participate in the network. providers can run the Processor app on a current phone or a spare Android device. ➜ in short: Acurast matches demand for verifiable confidential compute with hardware people already own. take a look: https://t.co/HmTcUOEegJ
