We are excited to highlight a series of major milestones from the past month. Imperial College London has officially joined us as our inaugural European university partner, and we have welcomed NTT Digital to the network as a global validator. On the technical front, the MCP server has successfully launched, while our EdgeCloud APIs are now accessible via RapidAPI, placing these tools within reach of millions of developers. Additionally, the proposal for TDROP 2.0 has passed. There is much more on the horizon. For a comprehensive overview, please read the full January recap at this link: https://medium.com/theta-network/theta-roundup-january-2026-549633b5e1e0

It is a thrilling moment for us to announce that Theta Labs has successfully secured the patent rights for "Hybrid Cloud-Edge Computing Architecture for Decentralized Computing Platform"!

This accomplishment serves as confirmation of our multi-year dedication to innovating solutions for the most significant difficulty in AI: providing computing power that is both cost-effective and adaptable. 🧵

The Theta Roadmap 2026 has officially arrived! 🪐💫

Theta Network remains dedicated to energizing the upcoming era of decentralized AI. Our primary strategy centers on expanding the AI agent economy by utilizing the decentralized GPU infrastructure provided by EdgeCloud. Furthermore, we are actively pushing for tangible adoption throughout vital sectors, specifically enterprise, sports, esports, and telecom.

Effective today, leveraging the AI models within Theta EdgeCloud is more straightforward. We have deployed an official MCP server that links 18+ models with Claude Desktop, Cline, Cursor, and additional MCP-compatible tools. This allows you to produce images, transcribe audio, and run LLM inference using nothing but natural language. 💬

Major telecommunications companies have increasingly entered the blockchain space in recent years. If you understand both industries, the operational and technical parallels are unmistakable.

Proposal 10 to reallocate 4B TDROP from liquidity mining to staking rewards has officially passed! ✅

TDROP 2.0 is now on its way, evolving from an NFT token into a multi-utility incentive layer for AI and decentralized compute.

Theta is excited to announce today that @imperialcollege is officially joining Theta EdgeCloud, marking our inaugural university partnership in the U.K. and Europe.

Their Security & Machine Learning Lab will leverage our hybrid GPU infrastructure to drive pioneering research in AI security. 🧵

We are delighted to see Theta EdgeCloud featured at the Stade Vélodrome this week, home of our partners Olympique de Marseille (@OM_English)!

Wishing you the best of luck for the remainder of the season from everyone at the Theta team! ⚽🏃‍♂️

In case you missed it: You still have an opportunity to participate in the TDROP 2.0 voting! 🗳️🥳

If you have previously staked and delegated your TDROP prior to the commencement of the voting period, please visit https://governance.thetadrop.com/proposal/10 to submit your vote.

In December, we accomplished a significant amount of work, notably advancing the adoption of Theta EdgeCloud and officially launching it beyond the beta phase. For further details, please check out our monthly blog post below 👇

Stay tuned for more updates coming your way soon!

As we conclude the year 2025, we take great pride in the successful execution of our Roadmap. We invite you to join us in reminiscing about the past year as we prepare for what 2026 holds. Stay tuned for more updates! 🚀

The governance proposal for TDROP 2.0 is set to commence on January 5, transferring 4 billion TDROP from NFT rewards to facilitate staking until 2030.

To participate in the voting process, TDROP must be staked and delegated prior to the creation of the proposal.

Theta EdgeCloud's Hybrid Architecture has officially launched and is now out of Beta 🚀

AI workloads can now be routed effortlessly across a multitude of edge nodes and cloud GPUs, providing high-performance computing at a significantly reduced cost compared to traditional cloud solutions.

The demand for GPUs is currently surpassing the available supply; however, optimizing the utilization of existing resources can effectively alleviate this disparity.
