CoinVoice has recently learned that the decentralized streaming platform Theta has released its 2025 roadmap. In the first half of 2025, the focus will be on launching the hybrid cloud edge architecture of EdgeCloud in June, and expanding the rapidly growing edge network. This version will fully support a 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, providing developers with the tools needed for efficient development on EdgeCloud. Other key features will be launched based on the needs of current EdgeCloud clients, 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 enable a large number of use cases and encourage clients in key target areas such as academia, private enterprises, professional sports, and esports to continue adoption.
In the second half of the year, the Theta Hackathon will be expanded into offline events, and ongoing support will be provided for Theta ecosystem projects. Discussions are underway with several well-known professional sports and esports teams, hoping that EdgeCloud can assist them in developing AI strategies and providing opportunities to launch sub-chains to support their business cases. Third-party platforms are also considering integrating TDROP as a user participation token, starting with OpenTheta, with more platforms expected to go live by 2025. Additionally, an assessment is being conducted to possibly rebrand TDROP in order to expand its utility to AI agents, RAG chatbots, and other consumer-oriented AI and video AI applications built on EdgeCloud. Finally, the hybrid edge cloud architecture of EdgeCloud will be fully launched in 2025, including intelligent job orchestration and optimization, as well as full support for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
