Current status: ARCTIC is currently in a closed beta phase, with participation limited to a group of testers rather than being open to everyone yet.
How it works: Rather than a single app from an app store, ARCTIC runs through dedicated, operating-system-specific software, so the exact installation depends on whether you're on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
What you contribute: Idle storage and processing power from your own device, which becomes part of the shared compute backbone instead of relying on a small number of centralized cloud providers.
