Technology & Use Case

The Network runs with Validator Nodes (often operated by partners), Guardian Nodes that validate them, and Edge Nodes used by everyday users to relay content or access computing resources.

Origins & Team
Theta was co-founded in 2017 by Mitch Liu and Jieyi Long, emerging from the streaming startup SLIVER.tv. The mainnet launched in 2019. Key advisors include YouTube and Twitch co-founders, and enterprise-level validator nodes are run by partners like Google, Samsung, and Sony.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
Theta initially focused on decentralized streaming but has expanded into edge computing and AI, leveraging its infrastructure for video transcoding, caching, and blockchain smart contracts. Major corporate partners like Google Cloud, Sony, and academic alliances have supported the network’s growth.
