.@Acurast raised $11M to turn smartphones into confidential compute nodes.
150k phones have already processed nearly 500M transactions.
The thesis is simple: smartphones are secure, battle-tested hardware, and with attestation they can run tamper-resistant computation.
OS-level exploits remain a risk, but usually get patched quickly.
My take: If the attestation model holds, this smartphone-based DePIN approach could make Acurast a serious decentralized compute contender.
