Theta Network is the leading decentralized video delivery protocol, giving users the opportunity to contribute their excess bandwidth and computing resources in exchange for token rewards. Video platforms that integrate the Theta Network benefit by reducing their content delivery (CDN) costs, increasing incremental revenue, and boosting viewer engagement on their platform.
The Problem
Live Video Streaming Today
- Poor Quality
Today's content delivery networks (CDN) lack reach, causing video re-buffering, and high load times in many parts of the world. - Sky Rocketing Data Needs
Users demand 4k, 8k, and higher quality streams create infrastructure bottleneck. - Centralized and Inefficient System
The centralized nature means less revenue flows back to content creators and platforms.
Viewers get low-quality streams and few rewards today. Centralized CDNs reap most of the rewards.
The Solution
Decentralized peer-to-peer video delivery. A new native blockchain. Powered by users.
- Viewers Earn Rewards as Theta Fuel
For sharing excess bandwidth and resources, viewers are now rewarded to participate in the network. - Higher Quality, Smoother Video Streaming
A decentralized peer-to-peer network delivers streams efficiently globally. - Reduced Cost of Delivering Video Streams
Video platforms no longer need to build expensive infrastructure, means more innovation and unique business models.
In the end, users benefit by sharing their bandwidth and building a community. Content creators and platforms all earn more with lower streaming costs.
Open Source Platform
- Open Source Network & Protocol
Open to all developers and partners to build on the Theta network. - Decentralized Apps (dApps)
Video platforms and content providers can build specialized dApps for their audience. - Multiple Content Verticals
From esports, music, TV and movies to distance learning and peer to peer live streaming. Power the next generation entertainment.
Innovations
Technical Advancements
- A new, native blockchain purpose-built to power decentralized video delivery.
- Ground breaking technology include Multi-BFT Consensus, Aggregated Signature Gossip Scheme, and Resource-Oriented Micropayment Pool.
Streaming Ecosystem
- Theta works as a long-term sustainable incentive mechanism to motivate all stakeholders to participate in video delivery, fully decentralized.
- Theta is the only end-to-end platform. New blockchain. Next generation peer-to-peer architecture.
