PANews reported on January 10 that the decentralized streaming platform Theta released its 2025 roadmap. The first half of 2025 will focus on launching EdgeCloud's hybrid cloud edge architecture in June and expanding the rapidly growing edge network. 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 to provide developers with the tools they need to develop efficiently 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, together with the beta version of the AI Agents platform, will automatically use AI models through autonomous interactions on the chain to achieve a large number of use cases and encourage customers to continue to adopt them in key target areas such as academia, private enterprises, professional sports, and e-sports.
Theta Hackathon will be expanded into an offline event in the second half of the year, and continued support will be provided to Theta ecosystem projects. Discussions are ongoing with several well-known professional sports and e-sports teams, hoping that EdgeCloud can help them develop their AI strategies and have the opportunity 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, with more platforms coming online by 2025. In addition, the TDROP brand is being evaluated and may be rebranded to extend its usefulness to AI agents, RAG chatbots, and other consumer-oriented AI and video AI applications built on EdgeCloud. Finally, EdgeCloud's hybrid edge cloud architecture will be fully released in 2025, including intelligent job orchestration and optimization, as well as full support for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
