The post Acurast secures $11M to build mobile-based decentralized computing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Acurast, a startup building decentralized physical infrastructure, announced a total of $11M in funding to date. The company’s goal is to turn smartphones into a global network of distributed computing resources. Acurast is recovering the DePIN narrative, aiming to build another decentralized network for distributed computing.

Currently, the DePIN narrative remains subdued, but Acurast showed startups are still building. Acurast has already ran its product in its testnet version, with 146,443 smartphone users onboarded. The incentivized testnet showed distributed computation could scale for enterprise-grade usage. Acurast uses verification for all device computing power Unlike other DePIN projects, which rely on self-reported…
