Acurast Cloud Rebellion — Leverage Your Smartphone for Decentralized Compute Rewards

Acurast offers a decentralized compute network that empowers everyday users by converting compatible smartphones into reliable, privacy-focused cloud nodes. This approach taps into the untapped potential of billions of mobile devices worldwide, delivering secure processing power through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) — without relying on energy-intensive data centers.

The ongoing Cloud Rebellion campaign invites you to participate by completing simple quests, activating your device as a processor, and tracking progress on the leaderboard. In return, you accumulate MIST points and cACU testnet tokens, which may factor into future distributions of the ACU token during Acurast’s Token Generation Event (TGE) planned for Q3 2025.

Why Participate in Acurast?

• Utilize idle device power: Transform your smartphone into a contributor to Web3 infrastructure, earning rewards passively.
• Privacy and security first: TEEs ensure computations are tamper-proof and confidential, even from the device owner.
• Energy-efficient alternative: Mobile devices provide distributed compute at a fraction of the environmental cost of centralized clouds.
• Broad compatibility: Supports EVM, WASM, and Substrate ecosystems for versatile workloads like AI tasks, zero-knowledge proofs, and automated smart contracts.
• Community-driven growth: With ~70% of the 1 billion ACU token supply allocated to participants, your involvement directly supports network expansion.

Earning Opportunities

Here’s a breakdown of key rewards available through the campaign:

MIST points track your contributions and leaderboard position, while cACU helps bootstrap the testnet. Rewards vest based on sustained activity, with potential ties to ACU allocations at TGE.

How to Get Started

1. Visit Acurast Hub: Head to the Acurast Hub and connect a compatible wallet like MetaMask, Talisman, or Phantom to begin.

2. Complete the Introductory Quest: Dive into the “Welcome to the Cloud Rebellion” task. It outlines how smartphones enable efficient, decentralized compute and why user-owned devices outperform corporate clouds. Answer thoughtfully to unlock your initial 1,000 MIST points.

3. Tackle Quests and Achievements: Check the Quests section for recurring daily/weekly challenges and milestones that multiply your MIST accumulation.

4. Set Up Your Processor: Install Processor Lite on your Android or iOS device for easy entry, or configure Processor Core on a dedicated Android setup for optimal performance and uptime.

5. Stay Online and Earn: Maintain your processor active to collect ongoing cACU from bootstrapping and workloads, plus steady MIST drips — all while contributing real compute value.

6. Boost with Referrals: Share your unique referral link to earn a slice of others’ rewards across three levels, amplifying your total without extra effort.

To stay ahead, monitor your dashboard regularly, keep devices connected reliably, and follow updates from @Acurast on X, Discord, and Telegram. Explore Acurast’s documentation for deeper insights into processors and integrations.
