Even More Decentralized: Glue Partners With Acurast For Decentralized Compute
In an effort to make the Glue ecosystem as decentralized as possible, we are delighted to announce our partnership with Acurast — a pioneering decentralized serverless cloud infrastructure service.
This collaboration represents an important step as we build a bridge between traditional and blockchain-based finance, while also addressing critical 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 also preventing centralized infrastructure from acting as a single point of failure. Whether you’re battling monsters or building virtual empires, you’ll feel the difference without even realizing you’re tapping into a sophisticated blockchain infrastructure.
Acurast’s innovative approach of upcycling old phones for compute power means that we are not just improving our services — we’re also contributing to a more sustainable tech ecosystem. So with this partnership Glue will provide better performance through more decentralized and reliable infrastructure while also decreasing electronics waste.
We are also working closely with Acurast to develop technology that would minimize the impact of MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) on the Glue ecosystem. The introduction of MEV led to front running, back running and sandwiching which makes the market less equal in its opportunities — an issue worth addressing.
Acurast’s integration into Glue will give users more power without any additional effort. It is like adding more horsepower to your car without ever popping the hood.
Why Acurast?
Acurast brings a new approach to cloud computing that perfectly synergizes with Glue’s vision. Their decentralized and serverless cloud infrastructure makes the Glue ecosystem less reliant on centralized systems and service providers, resulting in improved security and reliability for all users. Furthermore, their confidential compute adds an additional safeguard for your data and transactions.
Acurast supports both Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Solidity and Web Assembly (WASM) smart contracts, which fundamentally complement Glue’s multi-chain structure, paving the way for even more seamless integrations in the future. Furthermore, the network is already onboarded over 8,500 dedicated devices and is growing by the day.
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 into our daily lives in a natural way.
As we work to make our ecosystem accessible to millions around the world without them 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 the prospect of what we will be able to offer to our users by leveraging their infrastructure. Stay tuned for updates as we begin to roll out these enhancements across our platform.
