Massive Sources Ethically- Secured Bandwidth and Residential IPs at Scale via Acurast
Zug, January 13th — We’re excited to announce that Massive, a global leader in data and live web access for AI, leverages Acurast’s decentralized network of 165,000+ smartphones. This enables Massive’s enterprise customers to access secure, compliant, and globally distributed web infrastructure at scale.
In a world where AI agents are increasingly expected to browse the web autonomously, performing tasks such as compliance monitoring, fraud detection, brand protection, and market intelligence, access to real consumer perspectives has become critical. These agents must read and interact with websites as real users would, requiring residential IPs to ensure authenticity. That’s where Massive comes in.
On the other hand, Acurast is on a mission to unlock the full potential of smartphones for decentralized services. Bandwidth and residential IPs are just one of the many ways the Acurast network transforms this underutilized global resource into scalable, verifiable infrastructure for the web.
Acurast and Massive:
Ethical IP Sourcing at the Edge
- Acurast’s decentralized smartphone network lets Massive access real, consent-based residential IPs at global scale, with cryptographic guarantees of privacy and compliance.
AI-Ready Infrastructure
- Massive and Acurast enable AI systems to experience the web like a human: securely and transparently, supporting everything from content monitoring to compliance checks at scale, improving the speed, efficiency and responsiveness of Massive’s data collection workflows.
Power to the People
- Smartphone owners and internet users now play an active role in the data economy. By contributing resources they already own, they help build the next-generation decentralized internet, together.
By combining Massive’s decentralized residential proxy network with Acurast’s decentralized compute power, we see an opportunity to lay the foundation for a new standard for secure, high performance, and compliant web data access.
Jason, CEO of Massive, said:
Acurast is now an active, commercial pillar of Massive’s infrastructure. By leveraging their decentralized network of over 165,000 smartphones, operated by owners who have consented to be a part of the data economy, we are providing our customers with a level of scale and ethical assurance that is unmatched in the industry. Together, we are building the infrastructure that allows AI to browse the web with the authenticity of a real user, ensuring the web remains open, transparent, and verifiable.
