As we covered in the previous post, TEA hosting nodes run the various WebAssembly binaries that form TApps. These are serverless lambda functions that can be categorized as either queries or mutations. TEA Hosting Nodes: The Backend for TApps One of the primary aims of the TEA Project is to recreate traditional web2-style cloud computing on the blockchain. We…teaproject.medium.com These hosting nodes run function calls on behalf of TApps that also generate transactions. Recall that transactions sent…

One of the primary aims of the TEA Project is to recreate traditional web2-style cloud computing on the blockchain. We envision this diversification beyond centralized hosting to be one of the main appeals of companies moving to web3. …

The TEA Project uses IPFS throughout its tech stack as a decentralized data store. For example, TEA’s decentralized apps known as TApps are stored on IPFS and loaded onto TEA network mining nodes when called by end-users. It turns out that TEA’s hosting nodes share many commonalities with IPFS gateways…

This post was written by the TEA Project’s founder Kevin Zhang. Kevin touches on why the race to be the next layer-1 is already over, and why the current approaches of layer-2s aren’t sustainable as far as gaining notable network effects. Since the birth of BTC more than ten years…
