Alessandro De Carli
I have led the Security Mobile Application Framework Team at Credit Suisse before founding Papers. With a strong track record in mobile security for global Fortune 500 clients, I pivoted to blockchain with 'AirGap,' securing over $250M in assets and growing to a 25-employee team. In 2022, I founded Acurast, aiming to disrupt the cloud landscape with mobile hardware innovation.

AI is reshaping industries, but its growing compute demands expose the limits of centralized data centers, which prioritize control and profit over user privacy and sustainability. Acurast offers a decentralized solution by harnessing the untapped power of billions of smartphones. These devices, equipped with advanced security features, form a scalable and confidential compute network that challenges Big Tech's dominance.
With 30,000 devices already connected, Acurast empowers users to take control, enabling hyper-personalized AI agents and fostering a fairer, more sustainable future for AI. As Acurast prepares for its 2025 token launch, it invites everyone to join the movement and redefine compute power for the AI era—decentralized, secure, and powered by the people.
