What is Acurast (ACU)?
Acurast turns ordinary smartphones into a compute network. Instead of renting servers in a data center, a developer submits a job - an API backend, a webhook, a script, an inference call - and the job runs inside the secure hardware of phones that have been enrolled as processors. The network verifies that the work was done and settles it. ACU is the token this marketplace runs on: developers pay for compute in it, processors receive it for completed jobs, and staking it is part of how devices and participants take on responsibility in the network.
What a holder actually has
The Acurast protocol itself runs on its own Substrate-based chain, but the ACU you hold in a wallet like Tangem is an ERC-20 style token on EVM networks. Two practical consequences follow from that. First, gas is not paid in ACU: a transfer on Ethereum costs ETH, on BNB Smart Chain it costs BNB, on Base it costs ETH bridged to Base, so the holder needs a little of the native coin next to the token. Second, the EVM address is the same string on every one of these networks, while the balance is not: ACU sent on Base is not visible on Ethereum, and moving it between networks means using a bridge, not just changing a setting.
Supported networks in Tangem (3): Base, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain.
Because the same address answers on several chains, the thing to check before every send is not the address but the network. Tangem keeps ACU on each network as its own balance, and the transfer screen names the network the transaction will go out on before the card is tapped to sign. Matching that to what the recipient expects is the holder's job, and Tangem spells it out in front of you at signing time, which suits a token that lives in several places at once.
The token is also newer than the protocol behind it: Acurast operated as a network and a canary chain before ACU launched on its mainnet. If you come across an older ticker or a test-network balance from that period, it is not the same asset as the ACU that trades on these EVM networks.

- The best wallet for ACU is one that keeps your keys safe while staying easy to use. Tangem Wallet delivers both security and convenience in one solution.
- Many Acurast wallets are free to download. Hardware wallets cost money but offer stronger security by keeping keys offline.
- A strong Acurast wallet uses dedicated hardware to safeguard private keys. Tangem uses a specialized security chip, similar to those found in banking cards and passports, which keeps keys isolated and reduces the risk of unauthorized access or data compromise.
- It’s a digital or hardware device that holds the private keys needed to access and manage your Acurast. Without it, you cannot control your funds.
- ACU is an ERC-20 style token, so gas is paid in the native coin of the network you send on: ETH on Ethereum and Base, BNB on BNB Smart Chain. Keep a small amount of that coin alongside your ACU.
- Same asset, separate balances. Your address is identical on every EVM network, but tokens held on Base do not show up on Ethereum; moving between them requires a bridge transaction, not a wallet setting.
- Yes, the compute marketplace itself runs on a Substrate-based Acurast chain where phones are registered as processors and jobs are settled. The ACU held in Tangem is the token deployed on EVM networks, not a balance on that native chain.
