Researchers from the University of Zürich have unveiled groundbreaking results in their study on decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) as a viable alternative to traditional centralized cloud computing platforms. Their research specifically highlights Acurast, a new decentralized serverless cloud network that utilizes underutilized resources of smartphones for enhanced security and efficiency. This research marks a significant step towards understanding and harnessing the power of DePINs for computing, providing a real alternative to existing cloud providers for applications in all industries.
