PANews, January 10, reports that the decentralized streaming platform Theta has released its roadmap for 2025. In the first half of 2025, it will focus on launching the hybrid cloud edge architecture of EdgeCloud in June and expanding the rapidly growing edge network. This version will fully support distributed edge architecture across devices, regions, and configurations, capable of prioritizing and opting out of specific job types and analyzing completed jobs. A developer API interface will also be released to provide developers with the tools needed for efficient development on EdgeCloud. Other major features will be launched based on the needs of current EdgeCloud customers, such as persistent storage, GPU node upgrades, and on-demand API access to AI models. These features, along with the beta version of the AI Agents platform, will automatically utilize AI models through on-chain autonomous interactions to achieve a wide range of use cases and encourage customers in key target areas such as academia, private enterprises, professional sports, and esports to continue adoption.
In the second half of the year, Theta Hackathon will be expanded into an offline event and will provide ongoing support for Theta ecosystem projects. Discussions are ongoing with several well-known professional sports and esports teams, hoping that EdgeCloud can assist them in formulating AI strategies and providing opportunities to launch sub-chains to support their business use cases. Third-party platforms are also considering integrating TDROP as a user participation token, starting with OpenTheta, and more platforms will be launched by 2025. Additionally, there is an evaluation underway to possibly rebrand TDROP to extend its utility to AI agents, RAG chatbots, and other consumer-facing AI and video AI applications built on EdgeCloud. Finally, in 2025, the hybrid edge cloud architecture of EdgeCloud will be fully released, including intelligent job orchestration and optimization, along with comprehensive support for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
