## Resource

Cloud compute is expensive, centralized, and full of hidden trust assumptions — and most builders do not have a real alternative. Alessandro De Carli, Founder of Acurast, breaks down how Acurast turns everyday smartphones into a decentralized compute network, and why trusted execution environments (TEEs) let real workloads run with confidentiality and verifiability. Understand what “confidential compute” actually means, how decentralized compute can compete with Big Tech cloud, and what it takes to scale a network toward billions of devices. 🔗 https://acurast.com/ 🐦 https://x.com/Acurast Links (extras): - iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/acurast-processor/id6517361921 - Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acurast.attested.executor.sbs.canary - Hub: https://hub.acurast.com/rebellion - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/acurast/ - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@acurast 🔔JOIN OUR FREE NEWSLETTER FOR 100X GAINS🔔: https://cryptocoinshow.substack.com/subscribe
