Decentralized Cloud Acurast integrates with peaq.

Distributed serverless cloud network Acculast announced that it would be integrated into . ocean ecosystem. This collaboration between Acurast and peaq, a blockchain platform for real-world applications, promises to usher in a new era of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) powered by decentralized serverless cloud services.

Acurast’s innovative approach focuses on transforming ordinary smartphones into nodes in a distributed physical infrastructure network, creating decentralized serverless cloud services. The strategic partnership with peaq highlights Acurast’s commitment to redefining the cloud computing paradigm, especially in the rapidly growing field of Web3 applications.

Till Wendler, co-founder of peaq, highlights the pivotal role of Web3 cloud computing in achieving true decentralization. Wendler’s argument highlights a growing awareness within the technology industry of the need to move beyond the limitations of centralized cloud services.

Acurast’s entry into the peak ecosystem marks a paradigm shift toward a more decentralized and democratized approach to cloud computing.

Despite their ubiquity and convenience, centralized cloud servers have inherent drawbacks, ranging from scalability issues to concerns about data ownership and privacy. Acurast’s mobile-first DePIN product is an innovative alternative that offers a suite of services to suit the needs of both Web2 and Web3 developers. It includes distributed computing capabilities, data feeds, and on-demand oracles that avoid the strict spacing nature of traditional Web3 oracles.

Alessandro De Carli, co-founder of Acurast, explains the company’s vision for decentralized cloud computing as the backbone of enabling true decentralization. De Carli’s remarks highlight Acurast’s commitment to leveraging technology to empower communities and foster greater resilience within digital infrastructure.

As part of its integration with peaq, Acurast will deploy oracles on its platform to enhance the functionality of the ecosystem by providing on-demand off-chain data. Acurast will also expand its network to support DePIN, built natively on Peak, allowing it to leverage decentralized Web3-compatible off-chain components.

Going forward, Acurast aims to further strengthen the decentralized ethos that underpins its platform by exploring new methods, such as smartphone-based data verification and community-driven device ownership.
