Original Blog

Theta Network is thrilled to announce an exciting new GenAI contest in collaboration with ThetaDrop. This initiative will leverage Theta Network’s EdgeCloud to generate early AI content, iterating and refining concepts to bring forth a new ThetaDrop mascot. This mascot will be the face of the next set of ThetaDrop VIP merchandise and featured on the next custom PC reward.

The Power of EdgeCloud and $TDROP

As part of this campaign, ThetaDrop will utilize Theta EdgeCloud AI, leveraging its cutting-edge capabilities to create thousands of AI-generated images alongside the public. These images will undergo meticulous curation — both in-house and from the Theta community — to select the perfect mascot that embodies the spirit and vision of ThetaDrop.

In return, ThetaDrop will pay for these services using $TDROP, reinforcing the value and utility of our native TNT-20 token within the Theta ecosystem.

Join Us in Shaping the Future

We invite the Theta community and art enthusiasts to join us on this creative journey. The new Theta mascot will not only be featured on our latest merchandise but will also become a symbol of our collective efforts and creativity.
