Theta is a Layer 1 blockchain and decentralized infrastructure for Video, AI & Entertainment use cases. Theta is a "dual network" consisting of two complementary subsystems, the Theta Blockchain and the Theta Edge Network.Theta proof-of-stake blockchain provides payment, reward, staking and smart contract capabilities, while the Edge Network is responsible for the compute, storage and delivery of video streams, AI tasks, and other scientific, simulation and financial modeling use cases. There are two native cryptocurrencies on Theta blockchain: THETA, the staking and governance token, and TFUEL, used as gas for all transactions and on-chain smart contract interactions. The next-generation Edge Network, Theta EdgeCloud, is the first hybrid cloud computing platform built on a fully distributed architecture, set to launch later in 2024.
