About Theta
Theta is a purpose-built blockchain for decentralized peer-to-peer video delivery. Traditional video streaming services suffer from the so-called “last mile” delivery problem faced by the Content Delivery Networks on which they rely. CDNs require data centers to be built around the world close to the viewers, but as these data centers are limited in number, they’re not close enough to most viewers. This creates bottlenecks in the streaming delivery pipeline which can lead to choppy streams and poor picture quality.
