No dashboard. No account. No tokens.
Just deploy → SSH → run.
Turning phones into VPS infrastructure is wild. 🔥
#Acurast #DePIN #DecentralizedCloud #Infrastructure
Your next VPS is on a smartphone.
You POST your SSH public key and a duration to deploy.acu.run and pay in USDC on Base. The response comes back with an ssh command before the machine has even booted.
Minutes later: root shell, Ubuntu, real TLS cert, all running on a phone in the network, not a data centre.
No account, no dashboard, no ACU tokens.
Ask for a VPS. Get a VPS.

One operator holding 12/59 validators is a huge concentration risk, especially since slashing kicks in at just 10% offline.
I'd be happy to run a few validators with Foundation support to help spread the risk for nominators. @VaraNetwork @luisreve85
Referendum #87 is past 60% of its decision period.
This is the first proposal to come straight from the community - and it needs the community to weigh in before the window closes.
Your VARA is your vote. Don't sit this one out 👇

We’re rebuilding @Polkadot Dart from the ground up.
Light-client first, using smoldot's Rust implementation. Audited crypto crates replacing Dart-native operations. Full Trinity and Product SDK support via Rust.
That means a production-grade path for Flutter and Dart into the same Polkadot development surface. Signing, storage, identity, and other platform capabilities are available without running a full node or trusting a third-party RPC.
Four years on, the tooling has matured enough to do this properly.

Over 300,000 phones are now onboarded to Acurast.
Another major milestone.
These hundreds of thousands of phones are helping build the biggest decentralized compute network in the world, using already existing hardware. No data centres needed.
The next cloud is in your pocket.

“The AI that really does things” runs on Acurast too.
Control UI in the browser, SSH shell alongside, all served from a single processor. @openclaw on decentralized hardware.
Here’s how to do it: piped.video/NZyRp9H2tpc

Two major #Polkadot staking changes are now live.
✅10,000 DOT minimum self-stake for validators.
✅No more nominator slashing.
A big step toward strengthening network security while improving the staking experience.
#OpenGov #Web3 #Staking
Two new referenda on Polkadot's OpenGov, #1909 and #1910, propose a series of staking parameter updates designed to optimize the network security model while reducing overall security costs.
Together, these proposals aim to strengthen validator incentives, enable better user experience and reduce overall risk for the nominators with a 48-hour unbonding period.
Ref #1909 builds on the previously approved 10,000 DOT minimum validator self-stake requirement. It introduces rewards for validator self-stake, sets validator commission to 0%, and enables permissionless chilling of under-bonded validators.
Referendum #1910 specifies changes for nominators. It removes nominator slashing and reduces the unbonding period from approximately 28 days to two days for nominators. These changes will be fully activated upon a successful governance vote and once the validator set has fully adapted to the new staking requirements.
The proposals seek to rebalance staking responsibilities between validators and nominators by increasing incentives for validator self-stake while simplifying participation for nominators.

Huge congratulations to the @acurast team! 🙌
This is a massive milestone and a very impressive step forward for the ecosystem. Excited to see what developers will build with Cargo on Mainnet. 🔥
#Acurast #DePIN #Web3 #CloudComputing #Linux #Blockchain #Decentralization
Cargo is live on Mainnet!
Full Linux containers, running on Android core smartphones globally. The biggest upgrade to Acurast since the TGE launch in January.
As a developer you now get:
-Language freedom
-A VPS-like developer experience
-Instant access to the Linux ecosystem
Anything you'd run on a traditional cloud, you can now deploy on Acurast.
Same workflow. Very different trust model.

Pioneered by Polkadot: a new efficient data storage model for everyday Web3 applications
When it comes to storing and serving data, most Web3 apps still fall back on centralized Web2 servers. The missing piece has been a decentralized alternative that is actually suitable for everyday use. Bulletin Chain, pioneered by Polkadot, aims to solve this.

Look guys, it's actually really straightforward, a bunch of people staked their ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield, except they didn't want their capital to be locked up, so they actually staked with a liquid staking protocol called Lido who provided them a liquid staking receipt token called stETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer, except they didn't want to lock up their capital, so they actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided them with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called Aave so that they could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero that was hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry

What happens with your data once you onboard to Acurast?
Nothing.
Acurast runs workloads inside built-in hardware vaults, TEE's, on already 243'000+ smartphones across 175+ countries. The phone owner can't see inside. The OS can't see inside. Acurast can't see inside. That's real confidentiality.

The time has come.
Ofc we didn't forget!
We did, however, run some tests and ensure the infrastructure and tools developers need are live before shouting. So without further ado...
Smart Contracts are now live on @Polkadot Hub.
If you’re already building with Solidity, the experience will feel familiar.
1⃣EVM for Ethereum compatibility, Solidity, and easy onboarding.
2⃣PVM (PolkaVM) with RISC-V-based architecture for future performance, efficiency, multi-language support, and advanced use cases.

🚨 Hyperbridge is back online!
Polkadot runtime upgrade completed. All 12 networks restored. $5M TVL unlocked.
Bridging operations resumed across all supported chains.
Thanks to @Polkadot Fellowship & token holders for the swift execution.

We’re excited to continue expanding the Acurast ecosystem with the completion of our integration with @BNBCHAIN!
Thanks to the support from @LayerZero_Core, token holders will be able to move their ACU across all supported multichain integrations from day 1, further enhancing cross-network functionality and interoperability.
We're only getting started, stay tuned for what's next!
