Rebels, we did it.

Acurast has officially crossed 1,000,000,000 on-chain transactions and 295,000 onboarded smartphones.

Just eight months ago, we hit 550M. Now, we’ve crossed the billion mark, making Acurast one of the fastest-growing and highest-throughput DePIN networks in crypto.

Whether you're running a spare device, staking $ACU, or deploying decentralized workloads, this milestone belongs to you.

What 1 Billion Transactions Means for DePIN

While centralized cloud giants spend tens of billions building carbon-heavy server farms, Acurast proved that the compute network of the future is already sitting in people’s pockets.

  • 295K+ Live Devices: Over 295,000 smartphones across 175+ countries are running as active, secure compute processors.
  • 1B Real On-Chain Txs: Genuine compute execution, verification, and autonomous state transitions running 24/7.
  • Real Workloads (AI & Compute): Developers are actively running everything from 24/7 autonomous AI agents (like Nous Research’s Hermes) to serverless workloads on decentralized mobile hardware.

Put Your Idle Hardware to Work (or Stake $ACU)

Acurast isn’t just about providing compute, it’s an open economy built for both hardware providers and token holders:

  • Run a Phone: Got an old or spare smartphone collecting dust? Turn it into a decentralized compute hardware in minutes and start getting rewards for providing power to the network.
  • Stake & Delegate: Don't have a spare device? You can delegate your $ACU to active providers to help secure the network and share in the staking rewards.

1B transactions is just the warm-up. As decentralized AI, edge computing, and real-world DePIN demand ramp up, the network is scaling faster than ever.

On we go.
