For phone owners
Run Processor Lite on compatible Android or iOS devices and provide compute when the device is available.

Spare phones? Welcome to the cloud rebellion.
Acurast is a decentralized compute network powered by smartphones. Instead of letting old phones rot in drawers, processors contribute compute and can receive rewards.

What is Acurast?
Decentralized compute, served from phones.
Acurast positions itself as a real decentralized compute network where phones provide processing power for apps and developers. Compute providers run an Acurast Processor, keep devices online, and may earn rewards for contributing useful capacity.
For builders
Developers can deploy workloads to the network instead of leaning only on centralized cloud servers.
For the farm goblins
It turns the “why do you have 400 phones?” question into “sir, this is infrastructure.”
Before you send the army
Compatibility checklist
Android
Android 12 or newer, non-rooted, locked bootloader.
iPhone
iPhone 6S or newer, iOS 15+.
Core mode
Core setup is stricter and may require factory reset during setup.
Rewards
Higher specs, reliability, and uptime can matter. Don’t promise grandma lambo yield.
BobFarms note: Android 11 farm phones may run older app builds or appear to work, but current official docs list Android 12+ for Acurast Processor paths. Test before scaling.
Basic setup path
From drawer brick to cloud goblin
-
01
Check compatibility
Use a supported Android/iOS device. Prioritize stable charging, Wi‑Fi, and battery health.
-
02
Install Processor Lite
Download from the official Acurast download page, Google Play, Apple App Store, or supported app stores.
-
03
Connect wallet / account
Follow the in-app onboarding and Acurast Hub flow. Keep seed phrases off the meme machine.
-
04
Keep it reliable
Rewards favor usable compute. Stable power, connection, cooling, and uptime matter more than screenshots of chaos.
Farm sermon
“They called it e-waste. I called it a data center.”
The drawer phones were forgotten. The cracked-screen soldiers were mocked. Then the cloud needed compute, and the goblin rack stood up like a villain in act three.
Phone farm status: suspiciously productive.
FAQ
Questions before the rack starts humming
Is Acurast mining?
It is better described as decentralized compute / DePIN participation. Phones provide compute capacity; rewards are tied to contributing resources, not classic proof-of-work mining.
Can damaged phones work?
Sometimes, as long as they are compatible, stable, safe, and can run the Processor app. Broken screens are less important than OS support, reliability, and connectivity.
Do my Android 11 phones qualify?
Official current docs say Android 12+ for the Processor requirements. Android 11 devices may be a test-only situation unless Acurast changes support or you have a working approved path.
Is this guaranteed income?
No. Rewards can depend on network demand, hardware, uptime, specs, rules, token conditions, and app changes. Treat it like infrastructure testing, not magic rent money.
