Acurast

Acurast is a decentralized compute network that repurposes consumer smartphones as the underlying hardware instead of traditional data centers or servers. It is aimed at developers who need to run secure, private, or AI-related workloads — such as API calls, webhook processing, or large-language-model inference — on infrastructure that no single entity controls. The project claims to address the centralization and privacy risks that come with conventional cloud computing.

Acurast recruits smartphone owners to contribute their devices as compute units, with the network described as having onboarded more than 250,000 such units worldwide. The ACU token operates across several ecosystems simultaneously, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, and Peaq, which suggests it functions as a cross-chain utility token within the protocol. The data stored here does not include a consensus algorithm or block-time figure, so the precise settlement mechanics cannot be described beyond what the project itself states about verifiable, confidential execution on mobile hardware.

The data stored for Acurast does not include a fee-revenue stream, so fee-based measures such as protocol earnings or fee yield cannot be calculated from what is held here. What the data does show is that roughly 40.6% of the total token supply is currently circulating, with a dilution overhang of approximately 146.8% — meaning the quantity of tokens not yet in circulation is nearly 1.5 times the size of the current circulating supply, a figure that is relevant to how the economics of the token may evolve over time. The fully diluted valuation stands at about 2.47 times the current market capitalization of approximately 41.9 million dollars, reflecting that a substantial share of total supply remains to be issued.
