XProtocol Unveils “World’s First Node-Operated DePIN Smartphone”

Theta Labsthe developer behind entertainment-focused blockchain project Theta Network has launched EdgeCloud for mobile, allowing Android users to contribute spare GPU power to the Theta EdgeCloud network and earn TFUEL tokens. According to the team: “Available on Google Play, the app allows users to provide resources during downtime, supporting AI research in media, healthcare and finance. Using a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), Theta EdgeCloud reduces the cost of GPU-intensive tasks by more than 50% compared to traditional cloud providers, providing scalable, decentralized training and inference services for AI models.” The blog post says, “For the first time, the Theta team has implemented a video object detection AI model (VOD_AI) running on consumer-grade Android mobile devices, providing true edge computing and enabling unparalleled scalability and reach. VOD_AI is a computer vision technique that uses AI to analyze video frames to identify objects by scanning video frames, looking for potential objects and drawing bounding boxes around them. This process is similar to how the human visual cortex works. (THETA)
