• 100,000 Phones Milestone: Acurast integrated over 100,000 smartphones into its decentralized compute network, doubling its device count since March 2025, driven by adoption and a $5.4 million oversubscribed CoinList sale. The network operated across more than 130 countries, transforming everyday phones into secure, verifiable compute nodes using hardware security modules and trusted execution environments. (July 16, 2025)
• onocoy GNSS Partnership: Acurast partnered with onocoy to explore decentralized high-precision positioning using GNSS services, leveraging Acurast's smartphone-based Trusted Execution Environments to validate RTK correction data. The collaboration aimed to create a resilient, scalable, fully decentralized positioning system for applications like robotics and augmented reality. (July 14, 2025)
• Linera Microchains Partnership: Acurast announced a partnership with Linera to run thousands of Linera microchains across its decentralized edge network of tens of thousands of secure devices. The collaboration targeted edge-native blockchain applications for DePIN workloads like sensor data and oracles, without relying on traditional virtual machines or Kubernetes. (May 22, 2025)
• 70,000 Phones Milestone: Acurast surpassed 70,000 onboarded smartphones, adding over 10,000 in a single week, driven by its public token sale and integrations with the Solana ecosystem. The milestone was supported by partnerships with FLock.io, HOPR, and Stacy.fi, highlighting real-world applications in AI staking, privacy, and DeFi. (May 20, 2025)
• Deep Dive and Ecosystem Growth: A comprehensive overview detailed Acurast's use of smartphones as verifiable, confidential, and energy-efficient compute nodes, with over 70,000 phones across 130+ countries and an ecosystem of over 45 partners. The roadmap included a mainnet launch in Q3 2025, modular compute containers, high-performance clusters, and a decentralized compute economy. (May 19, 2025)
• FLock.io AI Staking Partnership: Acurast partnered with FLock.io to develop an AI-powered staking strategy proof of concept (PoC), combining Acurast's decentralized compute with FLock.io's reputation layer. The PoC featured an autonomous agent managing FLOCK token delegations by analyzing real-time validator data and automatically re-staking to maximize yields. (May 18, 2025)
• 60,000 Phones Milestone: As of April 30, 2025, Acurast surpassed 60,000 onboarded smartphones, making it the largest decentralized compute network globally, active in over 120 countries. The network had processed more than 235 million transactions across 9,400 deployments and grew over 20% since March. (May 6, 2025)
• 50,000 Devices Milestone: Acurast reached over 50,000 smartphones integrated into its decentralized compute network, spanning more than 115 countries. The project announced plans to host a Token Generation Event in April, expand partnerships, and enhance its platform. (March 25, 2025)
