The post Theta Releases EdgeCloud for Android, and More appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePin) are transforming the tech by enabling decentralized projects in real-world infrastructure. Here’s what happened in DePin sector recently: Theta launched the mobile version of its EdgeCloud Node, expanding its network to Android devices. Helium formed a partnership with the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans, increasing its visibility at major sporting events. Meanwhile, Anyone announced its Incentivized Testnet, offering token rewards to relay operators for supporting its infrastructure. Theta Releases EdgeCloud Node for Android Devices In a important step for Theta, the mobile version of the Edge Node for Android devices launched on September 25. This update expands Theta EdgeCloud’s network, which already includes over 30,000 desktop nodes, to potentially tap into the computing power of 3.9 billion Android devices worldwide. Now, Android smartphone users can contribute their GPU power to Theta’s EdgeCloud network and earn TFUEL tokens as a reward. “For the first time ever, the Theta team has implemented a video object detection AI model (VOD_AI) that runs on consumer grade Android mobile devices, delivering true computation at the edge and enabling unparalleled scalability and reach. VOD_AI is a computer vision technique that uses AI to analyze video frames to identify objects by scanning video frames, looking for potential objects and drawing bounding boxes around them. This process is similar to how the human visual cortex works,” the team shared. Read more: How To Invest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cryptocurrencies? Theta Mobile Edge Node. Source: Theta Users can also set their Edge Node to run only when the device is on WiFi and charging, like overnight. With thousands of Android devices participating globally, Theta can handle large computing tasks, such as video processing, around the clock. For example, if 30,000 devices each work for 8 hours, they provide 240,000 hours of computing power in…
