Industry Mainstay

Acurast is a verified, high-potential DePIN protocol utilizing mobile TEEs for decentralized compute. It boasts ~150k active nodes and significant ecosystem backing (Polkadot/Web3). However, the submission quality was critically low, containing hyperbolic claims ('audienceReach: everyone') and vague data. The score reflects the project's strong underlying technology and market position, adjusted downward for the lack of professional detail in the input.
