Imagine paying someone on a public blockchain, then realizing the whole transaction history can be inspected by anyone. That transparency is useful, but it can also expose more of your payment activity than you intended.
I wanted to see whether there was a practical way to keep transfers between a group private without giving up on-chain settlement. That's what led me to test @cellprotocol_
Cell takes a different approach. It lets people deposit funds into a shared channel, then transfer balances privately between members inside that channel. Deposits and withdrawals still settle on Stellar, but internal transfers are not published as individual blockchain transactions.
In this thread, I'll show you how I set it up, how someone joins, and how payments work. 🧵 👇🏻
Two phones can stay connected all night and earn different amounts of ACU.
That's not necessarily a bug. It's how @Acurast treats compute as more than a timer.
When a phone joins the network, its CPU, RAM and storage are benchmarked. Those results help determine its share of base rewards. The Processor also sends heartbeats, so staying reliably connected matters.
And there's a difference between offering capacity and actually running work.
When a phone executes a developer deployment, it can receive an additional boost to its benchmark reward weight for that period.
So I'd be careful with any claim that “one phone earns X per day.”
Two devices can have different hardware, connection stability and workloads. A single earnings screenshot misses most of that context.
If I were putting an unused phone to work, I'd check three things first: its benchmark, whether it stays online consistently, and what the Hub shows after setup.
The interesting part of Acurast isn't some magic passive-income number.
It's letting ordinary phones become useful compute infrastructure, with performance you can actually inspect.

Traditional AMMs force you to spread liquidity across the entire price range.
Most of it sits idle.
Meteora’s DLMM changes that.
Liquidity lives in discrete price bins, fees scale with volatility, and swaps inside the active bin have zero slippage.
The result? Higher capital efficiency for LPs who are willing to manage their positions, and deeper, more reliable liquidity for the tokens that launch on it.
Solana’s liquidity layer is quietly getting more sophisticated.
