- Over 5,000 AI developers now use EdgeCloud, and more than 50 institutions, including global universities, use its decentralized GPU services.
- EdgeCloud now supports generative and conversational AI for top global sports and esports teams.
- With the new initiative, Theta Labs reduces its share of total staked THETA to 20%, furthering decentralization.
Theta Labs announced it will unstake 30 million THETA tokens from its treasury to support ecosystem development, drive decentralization, and increase adoption of the Theta Network. The company is taking this step as interest in its decentralized GPU cloud platform, EdgeCloud, reaches new highs in the past year.
In the past 12 months, Theta Network and EdgeCloud have seen major growth, adding over 50 paying customers for GPU training and inference. Organizations using the service include AI research groups at top universities such as Michigan State University, Seoul National University, NTU Singapore, Syracuse University, and a lab led by a professor at Stanford University. The platform processed more than 260 million chatbot tokens in August 2025 and over 104,000 model API requests, most paid in TFUEL, the network’s utility token.
EdgeCloud is now home for developing AI agents for major sports and esports brands including Olympique De Marseille FC, San Jose Earthquakes, Philadelphia Union, Vegas Golden Knights, New Jersey Devils, Houston Rockets, and teams from the esports sector like Gen.G, Cloud9, and NRG. Over 5,000 generative AI developers have registered on EdgeCloud, contributing to the increased use of both THETA and TFUEL tokens.
EdgeCloud was also named the first decentralized platform approved by AWS to integrate its AI-specific silicon hardware, such as AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips. These chips support highly efficient Artificial Intelligence computing. The platform brings together several GPU types, including cloud-based NVIDIA H100 and A100, consumer-grade NVIDIA GPUs, and in the future, edge devices like smartphones, vehicles, and robots.
“These steps are ensuring Theta ecosystem becomes increasingly decentralized and less reliant on Theta Labs over time, which is important both to ensure users can trust the record of the Theta blockchain and for other strategic reasons,” the company stated. As a result, Theta Labs will reduce its total staked share from 27% to 20% in the network, moving toward greater decentralization.
The unstaked tokens will be used for technology research and development, onboarding new customers, providing ecosystem incentives, supporting conferences and hackathons, and marketing efforts. They will also fund partnerships with global telecom companies and support activities like the new crypto.com” rel=”noopener ugc nofollow” target=”_blank”>Crypto.com listing.
Theta’s leadership team expects continued progress over the next 12 months as they focus on expanding in AI, media, and entertainment. The goal is to make Theta a leading decentralized cloud platform, according to the company.
