Acurast and Beamable: Exploring a New Frontier for Secure, Scalable Game Validation
Acurast is collaborating with Beamable to pilot decentralized checker nodes that will power integrity, trust, and composability for live game economies.
In an era where player trust and real-time economies define the success of live gaming, infrastructure must evolve from monolithic cloud silos to resilient, distributed systems that align incentive, availability, and transparency. Today we’re excited to announce an exploratory collaboration with Beamable to run Beamable checker nodes on the Acurast network — a step toward securing game state validation and enabling more open, robust game services.
Beamable equips game developers with tools to seamlessly integrate analytics, social features, commerce, inventory, GenAI, Web3 capabilities, and more into any project. The Beamable ecosystem is now undergoing a major transition for its Live Ops platform to Web3, designed to deliver more scalable, cost-efficient, and high-performance services to the 50+ games already built on its infrastructure—including the newly launched Pudgy Party. By leveraging Acurast’s compute DePIN stack, Beamable can significantly lower network expenses for studios, enhance its offerings, and enable gaming partners to scale rapidly by reaching millions of new cloud gamers directly at the network edge.
Acurast extends its reach to the edge through a globally distributed network of 130,000+ smartphones across more than 140 countries. This setup drastically shortens the distance between compute power and end users, cutting down latency while boosting scalability. All workloads processed on Acurast are protected by Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), ensuring confidentiality and preventing malicious tampering — a critical feature for Beamable checker nodes, which handle essential functions like assigning workloads to games, authorizing payments, and safeguarding transactional integrity.
Beamable’s mission is to give developers the fastest and most efficient way to build, operate, and scale games. By combining forces with Acurast, that mission is now Web3-ready and capable of scaling to a truly global level. Together, they can deliver an end-to-end platform for decentralized, cloud-native game development, operations, and distribution. For studios, this effectively creates a one-stop solution covering everything from development and launch to instant-play and cloud gaming experiences.
