Edge Network surpasses 2,500 active nodes

We’re thrilled to announce that the Edge Network has surpassed 2,500 active nodes. It’s a significant milestone in our journey to build the world’s most distributed cloud infrastructure. Behind the number is a global community of operators who believe in a different kind of cloud.

The power of decentralisation#

Unlike traditional cloud providers who concentrate infrastructure in a handful of massive data centres, Edge Network distributes capacity across thousands of smaller nodes. This architecture has three clear advantages:

• No single points of failure: when one node goes down, traffic routes to others automatically.
• Data stays local: content and compute are served from nodes close to users, not distant data centres.
• True global reach: nodes in regions that major cloud providers ignore entirely.

What 2,500 nodes means for you#

• Lower latency: more nodes means shorter paths to users. Average global latency has dropped to under 50ms.
• Greater resilience: distributed capacity ensures no single point of failure. The network self-heals around outages.
• Wider coverage: nodes in 130+ countries bring edge infrastructure to previously underserved regions.
• Community powered: independent operators worldwide contribute capacity, creating a truly decentralised network.

Our growth journey#

Thank you to our operators#

This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the global community of node operators who contribute their infrastructure to the Edge Network. Every operator, from those running a single node to those running hundreds, plays a vital role in building a more resilient, distributed internet.

• Operators earn $XE rewards for contributing capacity.
• Join a global community of infrastructure enthusiasts.
• Help build the future of decentralised cloud.
• No minimum hardware requirements to get started.

What’s next#

2,500 nodes is just the beginning. Our roadmap includes continued expansion into underserved regions, new node types optimised for specific workloads, and enhanced tooling for operators. We’re also working on bringing GPU compute to the edge, enabling AI and ML workloads to run closer to users than ever before.

The future of cloud infrastructure is distributed, and we’re building it together.
