Deutsche Telekom, the telecom giant that somehow still charges me for “data overages” in 2024, has joined Theta Network as a validator node operator. Theta Network announced this groundbreaking move on Oct. 31, because apparently, Halloween is the best time to drop crypto partnerships. 🎃✨ This marks a “major advancement” for Germany’s most confusingly priced internet provider.
Deutsche Telekom Joins Google and Sony on Theta Network
Theta Network proudly revealed that Deutsche Telekom is now part of an elite squad of corporate titans like Google, Samsung, and Sony. Together, they’ll validate transactions and secure Theta’s L1 network-because nothing says “trust” like a group of companies that probably still use fax machines in their back offices. 🕐📄
To earn their TFUEL rewards, these validators must stake THETA. Because nothing says “security” like locking up crypto in a digital vault while the rest of us lose our keys in the couch cushions. 🧼💸
Dirk Roeder, Head of Telekom MMS Web3 Infrastructure and Solutions (yes, that’s a real job title), said the move was driven by Theta’s “impressive operations.” He also praised the network’s “decentralized architecture,” which somehow aligns perfectly with Deutsche Telekom’s commitment to “reliable infrastructure.” Spoiler: it doesn’t. But hey, at least they’re not mining Bitcoin with my grandma’s solar panels anymore. 🌞⛏️
“We’ve been impressed by recent Theta EdgeCloud use cases focused on reliability, performance, and security,” Roeder said, “particularly in academia where large AI models are trained and served at the edge.” Translation: “We’re throwing buzzwords at a wall and pretending it’s a tech strategy.” 🤖🎓
Deutsche Telekom Supports Bitcoin Mining Initiative
Before this blockchain pivot, Deutsche Telekom partnered with Bankhaus Metzler in 2024 to mine Bitcoin using “surplus energy” from renewable sources. Because nothing says “green energy” like turning unused solar power into crypto. 🌞→🪙
The pilot project in Backnang uses Riva GmbH Engineering’s photovoltaic system to power mining rigs. It’s the first step toward a future where your neighbor’s roof powers your NFT collection. 🏠🖼️
Metis Solutions GmbH handles the mining infrastructure, while Bankhaus Metzler oversees the finances. Because nothing says “financial stability” like trusting a bank that still sends paper statements. 📧📜
