On September 26, 2023, during the "EDGE Summit" in Hong Kong, Golden Finance interviewed Leslie, CMO of Vertex Network, a leading decentralized real-time edge rendering and AI computing company, and discussed in depth why the combination of Web3 and AI is highly anticipated, and how they will reshape the future of GameFi, Metaverse, AIGC and other fields.

As digital technology continues to evolve, we are gradually moving towards a new digital era, in which Web3 and artificial intelligence (AI) are no longer isolated technologies, but are closely connected, opening up unprecedented opportunities and possibilities for us.

Reporter: Can you briefly introduce Vertex Network?

Leslie: Vertex Network is a leading decentralized real-time edge rendering and AI computing company dedicated to promoting the development of Web 3.0, the metaverse, and artificial intelligence computing. Through innovative technologies and solutions, Vertex Network provides users with an excellent service experience, allowing them to enjoy high efficiency, low cost, and rich creative experience in the future digital world. Vertex Network's mission is to change the future digital experience and create new possibilities and opportunities.

Reporter: Since ChatGPT became popular around the world at the end of 2022, Web3 has also begun to actively seek AI integration. Why are you optimistic about Web3+AI? How will the combination of Web3 and AI affect GameFi, Metaverse, AIGC and other fields?

Leslie: With the continuous development of Web3 and AI, we believe that it will have a significant impact on the development of the Metaverse, GameFi and AIGC, and improve the experience, lower the threshold for users to enter, and also reduce the cost of development. This is why we are optimistic about the prospects of Web3+AI.

Especially in cloud gaming, technologies related to edge rendering and AI computing play a decisive role. These advances enable real-time, high-quality experiences, which are critical to the success of cloud gaming platforms. According to the 2023 Global Gaming Market Report by the well-known data library Statista, the gaming market revenue is expected to reach $490.6 billion in 2023. The annual revenue growth rate (2023-2027 compound annual growth rate) is expected to be 8.84%, and the market size is expected to reach $688.4 billion by 2027. Cloud gaming is also becoming increasingly popular because it allows users to stream games over the Internet without the need for a powerful console or PC. Cross-platform gaming is becoming increasingly important, allowing players to play games on different devices and platforms, improving the overall gaming experience.

Vertex Network will use its self-developed edge rendering technology and AI computing power to build a cloud gaming platform, link GameFi and integrate with the Metaverse, cross-border connect online games on other platforms, and break the barriers for blockchain companies to enter the Web2 market.

It is obvious that the combination of Web3 and AI will affect the fields of GameFi, Metaverse, and AIGC. The combination of Web3 and AI represents the next stage of the digital revolution. Web3 technology makes decentralization possible, and AI gives it more powerful intelligence. In fields such as GameFi, Metaverse, and AIGC, this will bring about tremendous changes. For example, in the gaming industry, combining Web3 and AI can create a smarter and more interactive gaming experience; in the Metaverse, users can enjoy a more realistic and immersive virtual world; in the field of AIGC, combining the intelligence of AI will bring users a more personalized and efficient experience.

Reporter: What fields does Vertex Network currently cover? Are there any use cases? Can you share some specific cases with us?

Leslie: Vertex Network has a wide range of applications in many fields, including digital art, games, metaverse, etc. A vivid example is our cooperation with a digital art studio, who used our technology to present amazing real-time rendering works in an art exhibition, which attracted widespread attention and praise.

Just like the AR Show of LightCycle and Robbie Williams we saw at the EDGE Summit in Hong Kong, the edge rendering and AI computing network of Vertex Network have greatly improved the threshold of user experience and the rendering cost of LightCycle.

In December 2023, Vertex Network will work with LightCycle to promote Robbie Williams' first Metaverse concert. Vertex Network will provide edge rendering and AI computing technology to enhance the user experience.

Vertex Network is deeply involved in the field of decentralized real-time edge rendering and AI computing power. By providing convenient and low-cost digital experiences for individual users, a powerful application distribution platform for developers, and opportunities for GPU suppliers to utilize resources, it has built a diversified ecosystem and created value for all parties. In the fields of digital art, games, and the metaverse, Vertex Network's projects with digital art studios and LightCycle are impressive, providing digital creators and users with a richer and more immersive experience.

Vertex Network plays a positive role in connecting people and technology and driving digital experiences. We will continue to closely follow their progress in this area and look forward to seeing them continue to play a leading role in Web 3.0, the Metaverse, and AI computing to create a more exciting future for users and creators.
