The decentralized streaming platform Theta has released its roadmap for 2025, focusing in the first half of 2025 on launching the hybrid cloud edge architecture of EdgeCloud in June and expanding the rapidly growing edge network. 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 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 enable a wide range of use cases and encourage adoption among clients in key target sectors such as academia, private enterprise, professional sports, and esports.
In the second half of the year, the Theta Hackathon will be expanded into offline events, providing ongoing support for Theta ecosystem projects. Discussions are underway with several well-known professional sports and esports teams, hoping that EdgeCloud can assist them in crafting AI strategies, with the opportunity to launch subchains to support their business use cases. Third-party platforms are also considering integrating TDROP as a user participation token, starting with OpenTheta, with more platforms set to launch by 2025. Additionally, there is an evaluation and potential rebranding of 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 launched, including intelligent job orchestration and optimization, as well as comprehensive support for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
