What is Theta Fuel?
Theta Fuel is the second native token of Theta blockchain. It works as a utility token. Its main function is to incentivize the network participants for lending redundant computing power. Theta blockchain is a content distribution network that makes content delivery seamless for video on demand platforms. Besides incentivizing participants for relaying content and validating transactions, it is also used as gas (transaction fee) for deploying smart contracts on Theta blockchain.
As a blockchain, Theta is razor focused on solving major challenges that content distributors face. Content streaming platforms in the traditional space rely on centralized systems to distribute content. This puts a lot of scalability pressure on servers which in turn hampers the content quality and issues of downtime. To resolve these challenges, Theta allows users to stream the content and relay it for effective distribution of the content.

HOW DOES THETA FUEL (TFUEL) WORK?
Theta Fuel works on a peer to peer protocol which is similar to Tendermint (the protocol used in Cosmos) To become a validator on the Theta blockchain an individual (guardian node) must have a minimum of 1000 THETA tokens to stake and earn TFUEL as rewards. Whereas, an enterprise node requires 1 million THETA tokens. Both THETA and TFUEL power the Theta blockchain ecosystem.
There are three categories of validators on Theta network. They are Enterprise Vallidator nodes, Guardian nodes and Edge nodes.
Enterprise Validator node: In this category firms stake a huge amount of THETA tokens to relay content by streaming it. The validator nodes play a vital role in securing a blockchain. Eminent firms like Google, Samsung, Binance and Gumi are a part of this category.
Guardian node: These nodes are managed by a community of validators. Together a group of individuals contribute to achieve consensus at predefined targets. The guardian node is responsible for doing an audit of the transactions made by Enterprise validators.
Edge nodes: This category allows individuals to lend their computing power to stream content on Theta Tv. These participants are rewarded with TFUEL tokens. The network allows peer to peer content distribution without the need for a content delivery network (CDN)
