Acurast integrates peaq to position its versatile oracle within the peaq ecosystem, offering its off-chain computing layer to conventional peaq DePINs as an alternative to centralized cloud solutions. Additionally, it interfaces with peaq IDs for device connectivity within its DePIN network.

With the cloud market projected to grow to $1.2 trillion by 2028, cloud computing stands as the cornerstone of modern applications, including those in the Web3 sphere. Amazon Web Services plays a significant role in this domain, despite concerns over high costs, ownership rights, privacy, and upgradeability.

Acurast is revolutionizing cloud computing with its mobile-first DePIN, offering various solutions such as distributed computing for both Web2 and Web3 developers, data feeds, and on-demand oracles for timely data provision. By partnering with the peaq ecosystem, Acurast aims to serve as a distributed cloud solution provider for conventional DePINs developed on peaq.

Acurast will position its oracle on peaq to provide on-demand off-chain data, enabling conventional peaq-developed DePINs to operate their off-chain segments in a decentralized manner. Moreover, it plans to explore the possibility of integrating smartphones into its DePIN network to authenticate device-generated data, allowing communities the option to purchase these devices.

According to Acurast's Co-Founder, Alessandro De Carli, decentralized cloud computing represents the future of genuine decentralization, making it accessible to peaq DePINs is a significant step forward.

Till Wendler, Co-Founder of peaq, believes that Web3 cloud computing is essential for decentralizing dApps and DePINs, highlighting peaq's role as a blockchain designed for real-time applications. The peaq Layer 1 blockchain enables the development of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) for various applications like car sharing, street mapping, and noise pollution monitoring.

In contrast, Acurast offers a serverless, decentralized cloud platform that users can access via their mobile phones, providing computing power and the opportunity to earn rewards. It offers developers seamless, permissionless connectivity with trustless and cost-effective computing for deploying applications.
