What “Staked Compute” is​

Staked Compute is Acurast’s staking mechanism designed to economically secure reliable compute capacity.

From the official overview:

  • Committers (compute providers) stake ACU as collateral to back capacity commitments and can be slashed if they fail to provide reliable availability.
  • Delegators stake by delegating to committers; they can earn rewards but share slashing risk.

Why it matters​

  • Providers and delegators both have “skin in the game”.
  • Developers get more predictable capacity they can build on.
