ChainCatcher message, decentralized streaming platform Theta releases 2025 roadmap, focusing on launching the hybrid cloud edge architecture of EdgeCloud in June 2025, and expanding the rapidly growing edge network in the first half of 2025. This version will fully support distributed edge architecture across devices, regions, and configurations, with the ability to prioritize and opt-out of specific job types and analyze completed jobs. A developer API interface will also be released, providing developers with the tools needed for efficient development on EdgeCloud. Other major features will be launched based on the current needs of 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 use AI models through on-chain autonomous interaction to achieve a wide range of use cases and encourage adoption by customers in key target areas such as academia, private enterprises, 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 ongoing with several well-known professional sports and esports teams, hoping that EdgeCloud can assist them in formulating AI strategies and potentially launching subchains to support their business use cases. Third-party platforms are also considering integrating TDROP as a user engagement token, starting with OpenTheta, with more platforms expected to launch by 2025. Additionally, an evaluation is underway, and there may be a 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 released, including intelligent job orchestration and optimization, as well as comprehensive support for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
