Acurast, the first decentralized verifiable compute network powered by mobile phones, is launching its Community Token Sale today on CoinList.
Built from the ground up with accessibility and security in mind, Acurast transforms everyday smartphones into secure and verifiable compute providers — allowing anyone, anywhere, to contribute to the infrastructure of decentralized compute. With over 67,000 phones onboarded across 130+ countries and over 250,000,000 testnet transactions, this impressive amount of compute already powers mission critical workloads with high-security and AI requirements and making it the most decentralized compute network on the planet.
What sets Acurast apart is its commitment to real community participation. Not only can people run compute with their phones — even older or damaged ones — but they can also become stakeholders in the network by providing compute with their phones and earning rewards as well through a token sale model designed specifically for fairness and accessibility.
A community sale, by design
The Acurast Community Token Sale uses a novel structure called Filling up from the Bottom, which ensures a fair allocation of tokens by prioritizing the largest number of individual participants, rather than rewarding only large capital commitments. This mechanism is aligned with Acurast’s philosophy: building infrastructure that empowers people, not just institutions.
“This token event is a continuation of our mission to democratize access to compute,” said Alessandro De Carli, Co-Founder of Acurast. “The same way anyone can contribute compute, anyone should be able to participate in ownership.”
The Acurast Community Token Sale begins today with a total of 60 million ACU tokens allocated for the sale, with 100% unlocking at the Token Generation Event (TGE). Participants can register at coinlist.co/acurast, with a minimum purchase amount of $100.
The sale begins May 15 at 17:00 UTC and will run until May 22 at 17:00 UTC.
A movement backed by industry leaders
“We’re proud to have the support of some of the most respected builders and investors in Web3,” said Alessandro De Carli, Co-Founder of Acurast. “From Dr. Gavin Wood, Co-Founder of Ethereum and Founder of Polkadot, to Leonard Dorlöchter of Peaq, Michaël van de Poppe of MN Capital, Vineet Budki of Cypher Capital, and Ogle, founder of GlueNet and one of CoinDesk’s Most Influential — their belief in Acurast reinforces the impact we’re making with community-first infrastructure.”
