Theta Network launched its own mainnet 1.0 in March, 2019. When Mainnet 2.0 launched in May 2020, they introduced Guardian nodes, a two layer consensus mechanism to complement its Enterprise validators run by partners including Google, Samsung, Binance, Blockchain.com, and Gumi. Mainnet 2.0 also introduced a Theta "Edge Node" network with peer-to-peer “EdgeCast” technology. This decentralized technology stack adds the ability to capture live video, transcode it in real-time, cache and relay live stream video data to users globally. The Theta Network claims an edge network run by thousands of community members, without central servers or services.
