Harnessing iPhone Compute Power For a Global, Decentralized Cloud

Acurast, a leader in decentralized confidential cloud computing, announces the launch of Acurast Processor Lite for iOS, now available on the Apple App Store. This groundbreaking application enables iPhone users worldwide to contribute their phones compute power to Acurast's decentralized confidential cloud network, earning rewards in return.

By harnessing the advanced processors in mobile devices, Acurast makes it possible for regular phones to operate as powerful compute providers. With this new expansion to iOS, Acurast's ecosystem grows even bigger, welcoming iPhone users into a revolutionary network that's changing the way cloud computing is done. This shift marks a step forward in accessibility and control over how compute power is managed worldwide.

Acurast also takes a unique, sustainable approach: repurposing mobile phones with damaged screens or unused older models into affordable compute resources. These upcycled devices become cost-effective alternatives to traditional servers, bringing sustainability into the heart of cloud infrastructure.

Users providing compute power through Acurast Processor Lite can earn rewards in the form of cACU tokens. Each user can earn up to 250 cACU per month in bootstrapping rewards simply by running the Processor connected to the internet. Additional rewards are earned whenever developers deploy applications on the Acurast Cloud and utilize the user’s Processor resources.

Key Features of Acurast Processor Lite for iOS:

  • Provide Compute Power Used By Developers To Deploy Their Applications: Get started with your everyday phone or onboard upcycled devices.
  • Broad Compatibility: Supports iPhone 6s and newer models, allowing a wide range of users to participate.
  • Secure and Private: Maintains data security and user privacy, giving users peace of mind.

Join the Cloud Rebellion

Acurast invites iPhone users to join the Cloud Rebellion by downloading Processor Lite iOS. Whether with an everyday phone or dedicated upcycled devices, joining means not only earning rewards but also supporting a shift toward a more decentralized, sustainable, and user-driven confidential cloud infrastructure.

Alessandro De Carli, Co-Founder of Acurast shared, "With the launch of Acurast Processor Lite for iOS, we're taking a significant step toward democratizing cloud computing. By enabling iPhone users to contribute their phones' compute power, we're building a more decentralized, secure, and confidential cloud infrastructure. This is not just about technology; it's about empowering individuals to be part of a global movement that redefines how we think about and utilize computing resources."
