About Theta (THETA)

Theta is a decentralized video delivery network with its own blockchain. It was created for video streaming. Theta network consists of 2 parts:

  1. The first one is a video delivery.
  2. The second part is a blockchain Theta. It stimulates users for the connection to the delivery network.

Normally, CDN (content delivery network) consists of huge decentralized data centers that are scattered around the world. So geographically they are not close enough to the users. It provokes a poor streaming quality. That is why Theta creates P2P network for users who share their extra bandwidth. As a result, this global network can replace or supplement the infrastructure of CDN. Customers provide their devices as a cache host (video storage) and send video streams to local viewers all around the world. The more cache points Theta has, the higher streaming quality is. That is why cache points are rewarded with Theta coins.
