Rebels,
We dit it. We crossed 1,000,000,000 on-chain transactions.
550M in January. A billion in August. Still climbing.
Contributors keeping the code moving, providers holding up the capacity, developers shipping on top of it. Thank you all, this is your milestone.
On we go🚀
You’ve used a TEE today without knowing it. 🔒
It’s the sealed area in your phone’s chip that keeps your data safe when you make a payment or open your banking app.
Every Deployment on Acurast runs inside one.
But how do you know the TEE is genuine? The chip proves itself through attestation, and Acurast doesn’t check it just once. If a phone’s key has been revoked, it’s removed from the network.
That's how we ensure maximum security.
How it works 👇

A free 9B model, fine-tuned by @coinbase for under $100, beat Opus 4.5 at fraud detection.
Acurast runs that same model (Qwen3.5-9B) on a phone.
How fast is it? What does it cost? How does it scale to 100+ phones?

AI agents can hold wallets, sign transactions and act on their own. But who protects their keys?
On Acurast, agents run inside smartphone TEEs: isolated, hardware-protected areas that help keep keys and workloads private. And with x402, they pay for their own compute in USDC.
Hardware-level security. Private workloads. Autonomous payments.
Your AI agent needs infrastructure built for secure autonomy.
Find it on Acurast 👇

A few days ago hackers stole $6.3B from Binance. Now the scammers are moving in.
Fake “compensation” emails. Fake support agents in your DMs. “Verify your wallet to claim your refund.”
Think you can write one convincing enough to fool an AI?
In our Laya mail sorter, a System One model on a single phone in the Acurast network decides: inbox, spam or phishing.

Crypto agents have wallets. But where do they run them?
An agent that signs transactions needs confidential, verifiable compute no single provider controls.
Acurast runs them inside TEEs on phones. They can even pay for their own compute via x402.

From playing Tetris to powering crypto agents, System One models are opening new possibilities for AI.
Acurast’s latest demos show what this looks like in practice with Laya.
✅ 5 candidate moves. One decision.
✅ AI choosing the next move
✅ Running on a real Android phone
✅ ~0.2–1 second per decision
The bigger idea? AI doesn’t always need massive centralized infrastructure. Sometimes, a small model running on a phone is enough.

Every Acurast stake is a promise of compute.
Managers stake ACU on the compute they promise. Fall short, and the stake is slashed in proportion. That keeps the network stable.
How it works: → Every phone's compute is measured each epoch (~90 min) → Only the missing part is penalized. Commitments that are met keep receiving rewards → Anyone can spot a shortfall and trigger the slash → 90% of slashed ACU is burned
Delegators share both the rewards and the risk, so check a manager's Stake Health before you delegate.
