Acurast primary sources — 2026-04-26

What I reviewed

• Official site: https://acurast.com/
  • The marketing homepage was partially bot-protected during this pass, so the most reliable extractable primary material came from the docs and GitHub surfaces below.
• Docs landing page: https://docs.acurast.com/
• Developer deployment tutorial: https://docs.acurast.com/developers/deploy-first-app/
• Processor docs: https://docs.acurast.com/acurast-processors/
• GitHub org: https://github.com/Acurast
• Docs repo README: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Acurast/acurast-docs/main/README.md

Key source notes

• Docs position Acurast as a phone-powered decentralized compute network emphasizing verifiability, scalability, and confidentiality.
• The docs homepage states the incentivized testnet had 227,181 compute units, activity in 140+ countries, and more than 250 million transactions processed on testnet at review time.
• The deployment tutorial shows the real developer surface: CLI-driven project creation/deployment, faucet-funded accounts, acurast.json, encrypted environment variables, and optional USDC-on-Base deployment via a Deploy Agent.
• Processor docs distinguish dedicated Android “Processor Core” devices from lighter Android/iOS “Processor Lite” participation.
• GitHub confirms a live open-source footprint across the CLI, Substrate chain, docs, SDKs, example apps, processor-management backend, and indexing components.

Whitepaper status

• No canonical standalone whitepaper or litepaper was found in this pass.
• For this project, the docs and GitHub surfaces were more informative than the marketing homepage.
