Theta Labs 获得“具有链下解决方案验证的智能合约支持的边缘计算平台”新专利

这项专利只是 Theta 独特的边缘网络不断发展的另一个阶段，也是他们道路上的一个重要点。

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 最近获得了一项新的美国专利，专利号为： 12,056,730，因其“由具有链下解决方案验证的智能合约支持的边缘计算平台”。这项专利标志着 Theta 独特的边缘网络（一个用于各种计算应用程序的去中心化平台）开发的一个重要里程碑。

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.

根据现已在美国专利商标局网站上发布的专利，Theta 的平台包括一个分布式边缘计算网络，可为用户提供计算资源。该网络包括被配置为执行分布式计算任务的多个边缘节点和被配置为管理边缘节点之间的任务分配的中央节点。

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.

该平台还包括一个智能合约系统，用于创建和管理用户与平台之间的智能合约。这些合约指定了分布式计算任务的条款，包括要执行的任务、分配执行任务的边缘节点以及为完成任务而支付给边缘节点的报酬。

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 的平台还包含一个分布式账本系统，该系统被配置为记录与分布式计算任务相关的交易，例如智能合约的创建和执行、向边缘节点分配任务以及向边缘节点支付报酬。

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.

这项最新专利补充了 Theta 在高度可扩展的去中心化系统、点对点解决方案、数字版权管理和边缘网络领域不断增长的专利组合。

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.

这项新专利特别值得注意，因为它涉及分布式计算任务的链下验证，这是分散大规模人工智能模型训练的一个关键方面。凭借这一能力，Theta 通过其 EdgeCloud 平台确立了自己在去中心化计算领域的领导者地位。

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 拥有对生成式 AI 和定制训练的 AI 模型、去中心化流媒体和视频编码/转码的支持。这项新专利开辟了广泛的计算用例，包括人工智能、智能电网、物联网、云游戏、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 的边缘网络提供经济高效且灵活的即用即付模式，从而能够利用网络内的实际资源。以前未开发的潜力现在可以通过 TFUEL 或 TNT20 等基于 Theta 的代币来实现。随着这些用例的扩大，对节点运营商的需求也会增加。

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.

该专利的关键创新在于链下解决方案验证，使EdgeCloud能够处理复杂的AI模型训练。通过利用数千或数百万个分布式边缘节点的计算能力，Theta 可以满足 AI 模型的 GPU 密集型需求。然而，通过链下验证，这些分布式设备可以作为单个统一网络运行，而无需每个设备在继续下一个任务之前参与链上验证过程。

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.

该专利强调了 Theta 平台的独特优势，并将其与其他分布式计算项目提供的当前集中式、志愿者驱动的解决方案进行了对比。 Theta EdgeCloud 是一个完全去中心化的平台，能够快速、安全地将资源奖励分配给表现最好的参与者，最终推动更多的用户活动。

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

这不仅增强了 Theta 的技术基础，还为跨不同行业的去中心化计算更广泛的整合铺平了道路。
