Theta's Edge Node app for Windows and macOS (or Docker on Linux) turns a computer into an EdgeCloud node that runs AI, video transcoding and relay jobs. Token rewards are distributed in the first week of each month. It needs 4+ CPU cores, 16 GB of RAM, 64 GB+ of disk and 5 Mbps up and down, with an NVIDIA GPU optional for AI jobs. Rewards per machine are typically small.
