Glue Partners with Acurast for Serverless Cloud Infrastructure
Acurast and Glue, the blockchain ecosystem, have partnered to enhance their decentralization efforts.
This collaboration is crucial in advancing our mission to decentralize serverless cloud infrastructure services by bridging the gap between traditional and blockchain finance and addressing key challenges in the broader internet landscape.
What does this mean for you?
First and foremost, Glue will gain access to Acurast’s decentralized compute power. This is a perfect fit for gaming use cases, promising faster, more efficient, and more secure gaming experiences while preventing centralized infrastructure from acting as a single point of failure. Whether battling monsters or building virtual empires, you’ll feel the difference without realizing you’re tapping into a sophisticated blockchain infrastructure.
At Acurast, our innovative approach of upcycling old phones for compute power enhances our services and contributes to a more sustainable tech ecosystem. Our partnership with Glue delivers better performance with a more decentralized and reliable infrastructure while reducing electronic waste.
We at Acurast are actively collaborating with Glue to develop technology to minimize the impact of Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) on the Glue ecosystem. The rise of MEV has led to practices like front running, back running, and sandwiching, which undermine market fairness and equality — issues we are committed to addressing.
Acurast’s integration into Glue will give users more power without additional effort. It is like adding more horsepower to your car without ever popping the hood.
Why Glue Chose Acurast
Acurast introduces a novel approach to cloud computing that aligns seamlessly with Glue’s vision. Our decentralized and serverless cloud infrastructure reduces reliance on centralized systems and service providers, enhancing security and reliability across the Glue ecosystem. Our confidential compute technology also provides extra protection for your data and transactions.
Acurast supports Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Solidity and WebAssembly (WASM) smart contracts, which perfectly complement Glue’s multi-chain structure and pave the way for even more seamless integrations in the future. Additionally, our network has already onboarded over 8,500 dedicated devices and continues to grow daily.
Looking Ahead
This partnership is more than just a minor upgrade to Glue infrastructure — it is a step towards a serverless future where unapologetically decentralized, reliable, and unstoppable infrastructure seeps naturally into our daily lives.
As Glue works to make their ecosystem accessible to millions worldwide without users even realizing they are interacting with a blockchain, Acurast’s decentralized compute power will power it all behind the scenes, ensuring a snappy, secure, and efficient experience.
We are excited for Glue to grow alongside Acurast and even more excited at what we can offer our users by leveraging their infrastructure. Stay tuned for updates as we roll out these enhancements across our platform.
About Glue
Glue is a user-centric blockchain ecosystem dedicated to making decentralized finance accessible to all by providing users with the simplicity and convenience of a centralized exchange on-chain.
With a focus on security, flexibility, and ease of use, Glue integrates a Layer 1 blockchain, three interconnected Layer 2 solutions (Finance, Gaming, and Payments), the Glue application Hub, and an innovative service layer, all behind a user-friendly front end. The ecosystem includes essential DeFi applications and is designed to allow third-party providers to offer a wide range of crypto and non-crypto (taxes, insurance, etc) services.
About Acurast
Acurast is the serverless, decentralized cloud where anyone can become part of the cloud with their mobile phone, whether new, used, or even with a smashed screen, by providing compute power and earning rewards. It gives developers complete permissionless access to compute that are trustless, affordable, and confidential for deploying their applications.
