In January we witnessed the continued growth of the Theta network. We love keeping track of it! The numbers are more than impressive. At the time of writing, there are 708 Pre-Guardian Nodes / Edge Cachers and 10 Enterprise Validators.

Good news is, in addition to support THETA staking, Binance has joined Blockchain and gumi Cryptos Capital in running an Enterprise Validator Node on Theta blockchain. There are several more enterprise validators on the way, including a global 100 tech company that has already launched their validator node on Theta Network. The team will share an update soon alongside their public announcement of their long-term strategic investment in blockchain technology.

Last week, another 100 Guardian Nodes was added to Theta testnet, now totaling more than 300! With the addition of Binance as an Enterprise Validator Node, the team now expects more than 50% of THETA supply to be staked in March when Guardian Nodes hit the Theta mainnet 2.0!

Theta Network was recently featured by NEC at a private enterprise forum as a potential 5G use case for streaming VR and other bandwidth-intensive content. Coming soon The team will have a more public exhibition at NANO OPT Media in Tokyo April.

For those who are little behind of times, SLIVER.tv officially renamed THETA.tv! THETA.tv will now exclusively feature 100% blockchain-based direct livestreams and no longer embed other websites. More information on streaming to THETA.tv can be found below. Missed the AMA? The team discussed with the community their rebrand, Partner Royale launch, and more! Check out the video in our report.
