THE GAME CHANGER

Mobile Hardware

Smartphones are the most battle tested devices worldwide – billions rely on their security. With built-in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and best in class Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), smartphones offer a higher level of security than servers ever can.

THE DECENTRALIZED DISRUPTORS

Security is already part of the hardware

Acurast leverages the security features of the smartphone to turn the device into an independent and completely locked compute unit, offering the highest level of security against bad actors with physical access. This enables verifiable hardware authenticity and secure processing of confidential workloads.

Advantages of the Smartphone

Decentralized by Design

Smartphones are the most battle tested devices worldwide – billions rely on their security. With built-in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and best in class Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), smartphones offer a higher level of security than servers ever can.

Scalable by Design

Acurast harnesses compute in billions of smartphones, the most distributed and refreshed computing hardware globally. With 1.39 billion smartphones sold annually and a 2.75-year replacement cycle, it enables a scale conventional servers can’t match.

Verifiable by Design

Acurast requires the security chip to create the official hardware certification – issued by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). This ensures verifiability through cryptographically proven attestations rather than unverifiable claims.

Confidential by Design

Acurast delivers confidential compute, allowing sensitive AI models, mission-critical data, and privacy-focused operations to be processed securely without risk of tampering or interception.
