The problem
Streaming wasn't built
for this scale.
Today, video travels from a handful of massive data centers to billions of viewers. That's expensive, slow, and creates single points of failure.
Meanwhile, billions of devices sit idle — with bandwidth, storage, and computing power going completely to waste.

Theta Network
Distributed & resilient
How it works
Four steps. Zero jargon.
Lock tokens
(staking)
Commit your tokens to help secure the network. This is how you qualify to receive rewards.
Share resources
(edge computing)
Your computer contributes spare bandwidth and processing power in the background.
Deliver content
(peer-to-peer relay)
Video and data are served from nearby devices instead of distant data centers — faster and cheaper.
Get paid
(TFUEL rewards)
People who help run the network receive tokens as payment, roughly every 6 seconds.
Two tokens
THETA secures. TFUEL powers.
Think of THETA as the equity — fixed supply, governance, network security. TFUEL is the currency — used for every transaction, earned as rewards.
THETA
- ✓Fixed supply — 1 billion, forever
- ✓Secures the network via staking
- ✓Earn TFUEL rewards by staking
- ✓Validators: Google, Samsung, Sony
TFUEL
- ✓Gas token — powers every transaction
- ✓Burn mechanism — usage reduces supply
- ✓Higher staking yield than THETA
- ✓Lower barrier to entry (10K TFUEL min)
Real applications
Built for what's next.
Video Streaming
Deliver live and on-demand video globally without massive CDN costs. Viewers help relay content to each other.
AI & GPU Compute
Distribute AI training and inference workloads across thousands of idle GPUs via EdgeCloud.
Cloud Gaming
Low-latency game streaming powered by edge nodes located near players — no central server bottleneck.
Enterprise CDN
Cost-effective content delivery for businesses of any size. Pay with TFUEL, skip the middleman.
NFT & Digital Media
Decentralized storage and delivery for digital collectibles and creative content.
Live Events
Scale to millions of concurrent viewers instantly. No infrastructure limits, no buffering.
Compute demand is
exploding.
AI, 4K streaming, and cloud gaming are pushing centralized infrastructure to its limits. Theta unlocks millions of idle machines to meet that demand — decentralized, efficient, and rewarding for everyone who participates.
