Cere x Acurast Partnership

Acurast, a leader in decentralized cloud computing powered by phones, and Cere Network, a pioneer in decentralized data cloud services, are excited to announce a strategic partnership aimed at empowering developers with seamless integration of Cere's decentralized data automation capabilities into Acurast's compute deployments.

This collaboration enables developers to efficiently utilize Cere's Decentralized Data Cloud (DDC) for secure and scalable data automation within Acurast's decentralized compute environment. By combining Acurast's robust compute infrastructure with Cere's advanced data solutions, developers can now build applications that handle both computation and secure data automation on completely decentralized infrastructure.

To demonstrate the potential of this integration, a fully decentralized image converter has been created. This example application allows users to upload HEIC images, which are then processed through Acurast's cloud compute provided by the Acurast community with their phones to convert them into PNG format. The converted images are securely stored and retrieved using Cere's DDC, showcasing a seamless workflow that leverages both platforms' strengths.
