Author: EdgeX

Introduction:

Recently, EdgeX founder Davy was invited to participate in the Meet Our Partners Discovery AMA hosted by Roam. During the event, Davy announced that EdgeX has reached a strategic partnership with Roam and supports EdgeX's development based on Roam's technology. As a partner in the Roam Discovery Program, EdgeX will take this opportunity to further deepen its layout in the fields of edge computing and decentralized networks.

In the AMA, Davy provided an in-depth introduction to EdgeX's current development status, the strategic cooperation plan with Roam, and the outlook for the future of decentralized computing, showcasing the project's ambition in promoting decentralized technological innovation. The main content covered various aspects including "EdgeX's technological innovations in edge computing and decentralized networks," "the long-term value brought to users by the cooperation with Roam," "observations and thoughts on the development of the DePIN industry," and "community-driven project development philosophy." Below is a summary of the core Q&A from the AMA:

EdgeX's Core Business: The Combination of Edge AI and Decentralized Networks

Davy stated that the project's name reflects its focus on two main directions: edge AI capabilities and decentralized networks. "We have deployed a large number of edge devices and have a rich customer base. We are currently integrating these decentralized devices with the network to provide AI agent capabilities at the edge." Additionally, EdgeX is deploying large language models and connecting them to offer more functionalities to serve decentralized Web3 application scenarios.

Deep Cooperation Between EdgeX and Roam: Complementary Advantages to Drive Innovation

Roam representative RJ introduced that EdgeX has become a key member of the Roam Discovery Program. "We are about to provide special funding to EdgeX to assist them in developing on our technology foundation, with specific details currently under discussion, so please stay tuned." Davy added, "Roam mainly focuses on the network layer, while EdgeX has a strong layout in edge nodes and decentralized nodes, and the cooperation between both parties will achieve complementary advantages."

Long-term Value of Cooperation: Enhanced Computing Power and Integration of AI Technology

Davy elaborated on the long-term value of the cooperation from multiple dimensions: "First, the collaboration will significantly enhance the computing capabilities and resource sharing of both parties. EdgeX's distributed computing platform will provide cross-chain and cross-platform resource sharing through integration with other decentralized projects, achieving more efficient and low-latency data processing and computing support."
"Secondly, this cooperation promotes the deep integration of AI technology with decentralized networks. By providing strong distributed computing support for AI applications, EdgeX ensures that AI tasks in decentralized networks can process large amounts of data in real-time without relying on traditional data centers, improving computing efficiency while ensuring privacy and security."
Davy emphasized, "For community users, the greatest benefit of the cooperation is that they can enjoy a seamless network experience and continuous value empowerment through the synergy of EdgeX and Roam. Roam's users will become an important part of EdgeX's distributed computing network, gaining early ecosystem rewards and participating in more AI and AI Agent projects as the computing infrastructure continues to improve."

DePIN Growth and EdgeX's Contribution: Edge Computing Accelerating the Rapid Development of Decentralized Applications

Davy pointed out that the rapid growth of DePIN indicates that decentralized infrastructure is becoming increasingly important across various industries. "With the development of AI large models like DeepSeek R1, more small AI models will emerge, and their demand for computing resources will become more decentralized, thereby increasing the importance of edge computing."
In this context, EdgeX provides powerful computing capabilities through its distributed edge computing architecture, enabling both large and small AI models to operate efficiently. "EdgeX's advantage lies in its ability to perform computing and data processing at the network edge, which not only reduces data transmission bottlenecks but also greatly improves computing speed and efficiency, allowing decentralized applications, especially AI-driven applications, to respond more quickly to user demands."

The Importance of Community: Contributions from Global Developers and Users Driving Platform Development

"As a community-driven distributed DePIN project, EdgeX's success relies on the continuous contributions and interactions of global developers, users, and ecosystem participants," Davy stated. EdgeX places special emphasis on community participation, striving to incorporate user voices in all aspects of product design, technology development, functionality optimization, and ecosystem expansion.
He also pointed out that community support is not limited to the technical level; it plays a crucial role in ecosystem building. By sharing experiences, participating in testing, and contributing code, community members have driven the platform's iterative updates while helping to build an open, innovative, and collaborative ecosystem.

Three Keywords of EdgeX: AI Scheduling Hub, Computing Power Hub, and Network Connecting Users

Davy provided three keywords: "AI Scheduling Hub," "Computing Power Infrastructure Hub," and "Network Connecting AI and Users." He stated that EdgeX not only provides computing power support for decentralized networks but also connects AI with end users through efficient AI scheduling and computing infrastructure, aiming to build an open and scalable platform to promote the efficient development of AI Agents.

During this AMA, EdgeX founder Davy not only detailed the project's progress but also showcased the project's future vision through its strategic cooperation with Roam. In the context of decentralized computing gradually becoming an industry trend, EdgeX will continue to deepen its focus on edge computing and decentralized networks, providing users with safer and more efficient computing services. Through deep cooperation with partners like Roam, EdgeX is expected to create new development opportunities in the field of decentralized computing.

Introduction to EdgeX

EdgeX is a community-driven cryptocurrency project that combines low-power edge computing with Web3 technology and token economics to provide innovative solutions. EdgeX aims to build a global, distributed, and decentralized edge computing network, where participants can contribute computing resources and network services by engaging in the development of EdgeX infrastructure and receive rewards. In the future, EdgeX is expected to become the foundational distributed infrastructure for edge services required by Web3.0 cryptocurrency projects and various AI agents.
