Building a dectralized platform that supports multiple blockchain networks requires a distributed network architecture with local and regional infrastructure. Decentralized Service Providers (DSPs) will need to host services at the edge, cache data, and delver both on-chain and off-chain services to customers.

What is Edge?

Edge computing refers to processing data closer to its source, often at the edge of the network, rather than using centralized cloud sevices. The benefits are reduced latency, real-time data analytics, and enhanced user experience by bringing the computations closer to the end user.

What is Far-edge?

Far-edge computing, also known as industrial edge, refers to deploying compute resources at the very edge of the network, such as on a device or sensor, and often in remote or complex environments like manufacturing and other commercial environments. The benefits are real-time decision-making and actions based on data generated at the source, even when network connectivity is limited.

What is Customer Edge?

Customer Edge refers to devices on the end user premises that are connected to blockchain networks and serve other off-chain functions such as firewall, security, and home automation software.
