Acurast’s $ACU Token Went Live on Binance, OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Bitvavo, Gate and More Following $11M Raise

Acurast, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) transforming smartphones into a global, verifiable compute layer, listed its native $ACU token earlier this week on leading global cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance Alpha and Futures, OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Bitvavo, Gate, Bitget and others.

The exchange listings followed a period of accelerated growth for the project, including the launch of its Genesis Mainnet and the completion of $11 million in total funding.

Since going live, ACU has seen strong early trading activity, with elevated volume and price volatility in the first 48 hours. Market data shows the token recorded double-digit percentage gains over the past 24 hours, reflecting active participation from traders following its exchange debut, according to CoinMarketCap.

The listings expanded access to Acurast’s ecosystem by bringing the network to a broader audience of developers, users, and enterprises. With its mainnet now live, Acurast enables permissionless, verifiable, and confidential computation across billions of smartphones, offering an alternative to centralized cloud infrastructure through a global mesh of real devices operated by real users. The network supports compute-intensive workloads for artificial intelligence, Web3, and enterprise applications.

“We’re grateful to see Acurast gaining traction from Tier-1 exchanges,” said Alessandro De Carli, Founder and CEO of Acurast. “It’s a strong signal that the industry recognizes Acurast as a serious innovation in decentralized compute, turning everyday smartphones into a powerful and confidential computing network.”

In November 2025, Acurast announced the launch of its Genesis Mainnet alongside $11 million in total funding, including non-dilutive grants and token-based rounds raised between 2023 and 2025. The funding included $5.4 million raised through an oversubscribed public token sale on CoinList in May 2025.

Acurast’s backers include Dr. Gavin Wood (co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Polkadot), Leonard Dörlochter (founder of peaq), Michael van de Poppe (founder of MN Capital), Ogle (founder of GlueNet and CoinDesk’s Most Influential honoree), and Vineet Budki (CEO of Sigma Capital).

“Our design treats smartphones as a verifiable compute endpoint for all users of the network,” De Carli added. “By combining secure hardware attestation with enclave execution, we deliver integrity guarantees that server-centric marketplaces struggle to replicate. The result is a confidential, geographically distributed compute that scales with demand and avoids single points of failure.”

Acurast has already demonstrated significant traction through its incentivized testnet. More than 169,981 smartphones were onboarded as compute nodes, developers deployed 366,877 workloads, and the network processed over 590 million on-chain transactions while supporting 179,000 on-chain accounts, validating its readiness to support real-world, large-scale compute workloads.
