🦞 Run OpenClaw on Acurast.
@openclaw is available through Cargo, making it easy to deploy your own personal AI assistant on Acurast’s decentralized compute network.
No traditional server to manage. No need to keep your computer running.
Our tutorial walks you through the setup, deployment, and how to access your OpenClaw dashboard.

Over 300,000 phones are now onboarded to Acurast.
Another major milestone.
These hundreds of thousands of phones are helping build the biggest decentralized compute network in the world, using already existing hardware. No data centres needed.
The next cloud is in your pocket.

What does the Acurast community actually look like?
One phone becomes 43. Old eBay finds become a 75-phone farm. And 140 flagship phones become a mini data center with fiber, 5G failover and UPS.
Different countries. Different setups. Same network.

WordPress wasn't built for decentralized compute. It runs on it anyway.
With Acurast Cargo, you can deploy a full WordPress site: web server, PHP, database, persistent files, all on an Acurast processor.
No VPS, no cloud instance.

Becoming a compute provider takes a download and a few minutes.
Install Acurast Processor Lite, leave it open on the charger overnight, and your phone receives ACU for providing compute to a global decentralized cloud.
No spare device needed. No factory reset.

What does it take to run object storage without a single traditional server?
Garage is a lightweight, S3-compatible object store. Using Acurast Cargo, it runs entirely on decentralized compute.
Same S3 API. No servers to manage.

New staking feature!
Redelegation just got a lot easier. You can now split an existing delegation between as many as 10 committers.
More flexibility and more control over where your stake goes.

Billions of phones fall out of use every year. Most disappear in a drawer.
Google Research's answer: rack them and run a cloud on them.
The research: 10 used Pixel 3As vs an AWS server, same workload, 3 years:
-up to 18.9x less carbon
-$1,027 vs $40,404
~80% of a phone's lifetime CO2 is emitted before you open the box. That carbon is already spent, and the phone retires at a quarter of the life its processor can do. Reusing it doesn't just avoid a server, it displaces a new device.
Acurast has run this at global scale for years: 287K onboarded phones, 175+ countries, almost 1B on-chain transactions.

A Minecraft server has many of the same requirements as other applications.
It needs:
-a runtime
-network connectivity
-persistent execution
-enough computing resources to serve users
You don’t need a traditional cloud provider for this. Easily run it on an Acurast Processor by using Cargo.

Your old phone is more powerful than you think.
Acurast turns smartphones into a decentralized cloud, letting devices contribute real compute for AI, data processing, ZK proofs, APIs and more. Already 285K+ onboarded phones and 935M+ on chain transactions across 175+ countries.
But some myths persist: phones can’t handle compute, it’s not really decentralized, you need tokens to participate…
Here are the 6 myths we hear the most, and what's actually true.

We're always improving the Processor, and much of that direction comes from the operators running phones and the developers deploying on them.
Here's what landed in v1.27.0, now live for Android:
→ Onboarding rebuilt — new welcome + provisioning screens
→ Pairing survives a bad connection, and retries instead of restarting
→ The full Hub, inside the app. No laptop.
→ Devs: control the browser surface size + pixel density
→ Llama b10164, clearer Cargo errors, steadier IPFS

Your AI shouldn’t stop working when you close your browser.
With @NousResearch's Hermes on Acurast, you can deploy an autonomous AI agent that remembers its tasks, runs on schedule, and keeps working without another prompt.
Powered by OpenRouter and Acurast’s Cargo Linux runtime.
Build the agent once. Let it keep working.
Read how to deploy it:

Most AI compute demand comes from inference, exactly what the centralized cloud is worst at.
The fix isn't bigger datacenters. It's the billions of idle phones already in our pockets, ready to run autonomous AI agents that work in the background.

With Cargo, the whole Linux ecosystem comes to Acurast's decentralized phone network.
Any language, any package. If it builds for Linux, it runs on Acurast:
🤖 AI agents
🔁 Browser automations
🌐 Websites & APIs
🎮 Game servers
…and virtually any Linux workload.
Deploy like on a cloud server: SSH in, run your own stack.
The difference: it executes inside the phone's secure element, where no one can see or touch the data.
Decentralized and confidential by default.
What would you build first with Cargo? 👇

An AI agent can have an on-chain identity, get paid on-chain, and be audited on-chain.
Then it runs on a server one company controls. You still have to trust whoever owns the machine.
That's the gap @Acurast and @teneo_protocol are closing.
760+ live Teneo agents. 270,000 Acurast smartphones, each with a secure chip like the one protecting your banking app.
The agent earns stablecoins for its work, then spends them on confidential compute. No accounts, no API keys, no humans in the loop.
What we'll do first: move a live trading agent into a smartphone TEE and publish the teardown as a reference for other builders.
