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.
Showcase: HEIC to PNG Image Conversion
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.
"Our partnership with Cere Network represents a significant advancement in decentralized cloud services," said Alessandro De Carli, Co-Founder of Acurast. "By integrating Cere's decentralized data solutions with Acurast's compute capabilities, we are providing developers with a comprehensive platform to build secure and efficient decentralized applications."
"Collaborating with Acurast allows us to extend the reach of our Decentralized Data Cloud," stated Fred Jin, Co-Founder and CEO of Cere Network. "This integration empowers developers with a seamless solution for fully automated secure data computation in a decentralized environment, bringing next generation innovation and efficiency to all application developers."
