5. Acurast: Decentralized Mobile Cloud Computing for Moonbeam
Building highly scalable or compute-intensive decentralized applications requires massive computing power, but centralized cloud providers are insecure and antithetical to Web3 principles. Acurast emerges as a solution, providing a novel decentralized cloud computing solution for Moonbeam teams building such applications. Acurast leverages underutilized mobile device computing power to create a decentralized serverless cloud that can handle intensive workloads.
By tapping into this distributed computing grid, developers can offload resource-heavy tasks like machine learning, computational biology, multimedia processing, and more. Anyone can earn rewards by contributing their device’s spare cycles to the network. For scaling demanding dapps, Acurast unlocks a new dimension of decentralized cloud computing resources accessible from Moonbeam.
