Theta Labs 獲得「具有鏈下解決方案驗證的智慧合約支援的邊緣運算平台」新專利

這項專利只是 Theta 獨特的邊緣網路不斷發展的另一個階段，也是他們道路上的一個重要點。

Theta Labs has recently been granted a new U.S. patent, no. 12,056,730, for its "Edge Computing Platform supported by Smart Contracts with Off-Chain Solution Verification." This patent marks a significant milestone in the development of Theta's unique Edge Network, a decentralized platform for various computing applications.

Theta Labs 最近獲得了一項新的美國專利，專利號為： 12,056,730，因其「由具有鏈下解決方案驗證的智慧合約支援的邊緣運算平台」。這項專利標誌著 Theta 獨特的邊緣網路（一個用於各種運算應用程式的去中心化平台）開發的一個重要里程碑。

According to the patent, which is now available on the USPTO website, Theta's platform includes a distributed edge computing network that provides computing resources to users. The network comprises a plurality of edge nodes that are configured to perform distributed computing tasks and a central node that is configured to manage the distribution of tasks among the edge nodes.

根據現已在美國專利商標局網站上發布的專利，Theta 的平台包括一個分散式邊緣運算網絡，可為使用者提供運算資源。此網路包括被配置為執行分散式運算任務的多個邊緣節點和被配置為管理邊緣節點之間的任務所指派的中央節點。

The platform also includes a smart contract system that is configured to create and manage smart contracts between users and the platform. These contracts specify the terms of the distributed computing tasks, including the tasks to be performed, the edge nodes assigned to perform the tasks, and the報酬 to be paid to the edge nodes for completing the tasks.

該平台還包括一個智慧合約系統，用於創建和管理用戶與平台之間的智慧合約。這些合約指定了分散式運算任務的條款，包括要執行的任務、指派執行任務的邊緣節點以及為完成任務而支付給邊緣節點的報酬。

Moreover, Theta's platform incorporates a distributed ledger system that is configured to record transactions related to the distributed computing tasks, such as the creation and execution of smart contracts, the assignment of tasks to edge nodes, and the payment of報酬 to the edge nodes.

此外，Theta 的平台還包含一個分散式帳本系統，該系統被配置為記錄與分散式運算任務相關的交易，例如智慧合約的建立和執行、向邊緣節點分配任務以及向邊緣節點支付報酬。

This latest patent adds to Theta's growing portfolio of patents in the areas of highly scalable decentralized systems, peer-to-peer solutions, digital rights management, and edge networks.

這項最新專利補充了 Theta 在高度可擴展的去中心化系統、點對點解決方案、數位版權管理和邊緣網路領域不斷增長的專利組合。

This new patent is particularly noteworthy as it pertains to off-chain validation of distributed computing tasks, a crucial aspect in decentralizing large-scale AI model training. With this capability, Theta establishes itself as a leader in the decentralized computing space through its EdgeCloud platform.

這項新專利特別值得注意，因為它涉及分散式運算任務的鏈下驗證，這是分散大規模人工智慧模型訓練的關鍵面向。憑藉著這項能力，Theta 透過其 EdgeCloud 平台確立了自己在去中心化運算領域的領導者地位。

EdgeCloud boasts support for Generative AI and custom-trained AI models, decentralized streaming, and video encoding/transcoding. The new patent opens up a vast range of computing use cases, including AI, smart grids, IoT, cloud gaming, rendering, and more.

EdgeCloud 擁有生成式 AI 和客製化訓練的 AI 模型、去中心化串流媒體和視訊編碼/轉碼的支援。這項新專利開啟了廣泛的運算用例，包括人工智慧、智慧電網、物聯網、雲端遊戲、渲染等。

Theta's edge network offers cost-effective and flexible pay-as-you-go models, enabling utilization of real-world resources within the network. Previously untapped potential can now be realized with Theta-based tokens like TFUEL or TNT20. As these use cases expand, so will the demand for node operators.

Theta 的邊緣網路提供經濟高效且靈活的即用即付模式，從而能夠利用網路內的實際資源。以前未開發的潛力現在可以透過 TFUEL 或 TNT20 等基於 Theta 的代幣來實現。隨著這些用例的擴展，對節點運營商的需求也會增加。

The key innovation in this patent lies in the off-chain solution verification, which enables EdgeCloud to handle complex AI model training. By harnessing the computing power of thousands or millions of distributed Edge Nodes, Theta can fulfill the GPU-intensive demands of AI models. However, with off-chain verification, these distributed devices can operate as a single unified network without each device participating in the on-chain verification process before proceeding to the next task.

該專利的關鍵創新在於鏈下解決方案驗證，使EdgeCloud能夠處理複雜的AI模型訓練。透過利用數千或數百萬個分散式邊緣節點的運算能力，Theta 可以滿足 AI 模型的 GPU 密集需求。然而，透過鏈下驗證，這些分散式設備可以作為單一統一網路運行，而無需每個設備在繼續下一個任務之前參與鏈上驗證過程。

Highlighting the distinct advantages of Theta's platform, the patent contrasts it with current centralized, volunteer-driven solutions offered by other distributed computing projects. Theta EdgeCloud stands out as a fully decentralized platform that rapidly and securely distributes resource rewards to the highest-performing participants, ultimately driving greater user activity.

該專利強調了 Theta 平台的獨特優勢，並將其與其他分散式運算專案提供的當前集中式、志願者驅動的解決方案進行了比較。 Theta EdgeCloud 是一個完全去中心化的平台，能夠快速、安全地將資源獎勵分配給表現最好的參與者，最終推動更多的用戶活動。

This not only strengthens Theta's technological foundation but also paves the way for broader integration of decentralized computing across diverse industries.

這不僅增強了 Theta 的技術基礎，也為跨不同產業的去中心化計算更廣泛的整合鋪平了道路。
