There are manifold problems in the cloud computing space, such as high pricing, data centralization by big tech companies, opaque policies, and volatile pricing structures leading to unpredictable costs.

Acurast, as a platform, is specifically designed to address these issues, thereby playing a crucial role in ensuring a sustainable future for Web3.

This article will spotlight our accomplishments in the second half of the year. Here is a summary of what Acurast achieved in the year’s first half.

Major Updates

We have some major updates and announcements in the second half of the year that have made Acurast a decentralized, serverless cloud — the go-to solution for many developers to gain access to data securely without any centralized party involved.

Here are the major updates

Acurast Tezos Native Integration

After the successful launch of Canary Phase 1, Acurast moved from Ghostnet to Mainnet on the Tezos Blockchain. This integration showcased Acurast’s commitment to providing advanced blockchain services, integrating Web2 and other emerging technologies, and ensuring innovation within the Tezos ecosystem.

Acurast X Confidential Computing Consortium

We were proud to be a part of the Confidential Computing Consortium.

This further strengthened our vision of securing data in use and accelerated the adoption of confidential computing through open collaboration.

It had been a great achievement to be in the company of projects like Google, Meta, Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia & others.

The Acurast Canary is Now Live

Acurast proudly announced the launch of the Canary Pre-Net and invited developers and processors to actively participate in that incentivized Canary network.

The Acurast Builders program is a developer-first program designed to nurture talented builders developing apps utilizing Acurast to their advantage, focused on novel projects that leverage Acurast as an added value.
