Acurast secures $11M to build mobile-based decentralized computing

2025/11/14 17:00

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. The company aims for a global mesh of connected smartphones, with confidential verification. 

Mainnet marks the moment Acurast becomes a genuinely open, global compute fabric ready for real-world integration. Billions of smartphones are the most battle-tested hardware on earth,” said Alessandro De Carli, founder of Acurast.

Following a raise of $11M, Acurast also announced its Genesis Mainnet launch, available from November 17. The launch will coincide with the TGE for the native ACU token. 

Acurast tapped leading VC backers in the past two years

In total, Acurast has raised over $25M from a mix of ICO sales, VC backing, and angel investors. The most recent round of $11M includes non-dilutive grants and token-based rounds, performed between 2023 and 2025. 

The company also held an over-subscribed public token sale in May 2025, raising an additional $5.4M. 

Acurast also tapped leading backers from other crypto projects, including Dr. Gavin Wood, Leonard Dörlochter (Founder, peaq), Michael van de Poppe (Founder, MN Capital), Scytale Digital, Ogle (Founder, GlueNet; CoinDesk’s Most Influential), and Vineet Budki (CEO, Sigma Capital).

The company also gained support from the Web3 Foundation. Acurast has reached its product launch stage after spending years with limited activity and no token trading. 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 hardware specifications, or third-party cloud computing, Acurast verifies each device’s capabilities and potential workloads. The process ensures all sensitive user data are protected. 

“Acurast is creating a new, user-owned compute layer that aligns perfectly with where AI is heading. Hardware verification, enclave-based confidentiality, and a massive potential footprint of smartphones combine into a defensible moat that server-centric models can’t compete with,” said Vineet Budki, CEO of Sigma Capital.

The Acurast mainnet will also be open to developers from other Web3 protocols, and is compatible with other major blockchains and protocols. Builders can use the Acurast mainnet for off-chain execution, automation, AI workloads, web crawling tasks, testing and more. The network is securely encrypted for data-sensitive tasks.

The post XRP Price Prediction: Target $2.29 Resistance Break Within 7 Days for Move to $2.70 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Rongchai Wang Dec 09, 2025 11:04 XRP price prediction shows bullish momentum building at $2.06 current level. Ripple forecast targets $2.29 resistance break within one week for continuation to $2.70 upside target. XRP Price Prediction Summary • XRP short-term target (1 week): $2.29 (+11.2%) – breaking immediate resistance • Ripple medium-term forecast (1 month): $2.45-$2.70 range if bullish momentum sustains • Key level to break for bullish continuation: $2.29 (immediate resistance) • Critical support if bearish: $1.82 (strong support coinciding with immediate support) Recent Ripple Price Predictions from Analysts While no significant XRP price predictions emerged from major analysts in the past three days, the technical setup suggests market participants are positioning for a directional move. The absence of fresh analyst commentary often indicates a consolidation phase before breakout attempts, which aligns with current Ripple technical analysis showing neutral RSI conditions at 43.08. The lack of recent predictions creates an opportunity for contrarian positioning, as markets often move when consensus is absent. Current technical indicators suggest building momentum that could surprise both bulls and bears. XRP Technical Analysis: Setting Up for Breakout Attempt Ripple technical analysis reveals a compelling setup for an upward move. The MACD histogram showing 0.0023 positive reading indicates bullish momentum is building, even though the main MACD line remains negative at -0.0589. This divergence often precedes trend reversals.
