The Engine of Decentralized Compute: Understanding $ACU Tokenomics

Following the Mainnet launch and Token Generation Event (TGE) in January 2026, Acurast has solidified its position as a leader in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) space. At the heart of this ecosystem is the $ACU token, designed to incentivize a global network of smartphone-based compute providers while ensuring security and scalability.
Here is a breakdown of the updated economic model powering the Acurast network.
### Core Token Metrics (2026)
The $ACU token operates with a fixed total supply and a structured distribution plan to ensure long-term sustainability.
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion)$ACU .
Annual Inflation: Fixed at 5%, though this can be adjusted through on-chain governance.
Circulating Market Cap: Approximately $23.3 Million (as of March 2026).
Utility: Used for network fees, staking (Staked Compute), governance, and rewarding compute providers (processors).
