Fears of running out of computing capacity are nothing new. Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella expressed his concerns back in 2018 during the World Economic Forum in Davos. During his talk, Nadella referred to the need to accelerate the development of technologies like quantum computing to ensure technology can continue to improve the lives of billions.

Since then, while technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the metaverse have gained massive popularity, they add further strain to existing hardware solutions. According to Raja Koduri, executive vice president and general manager of the Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics (AXG) Group at Intel, a 1,000x increase in processing would be required to power the metaverse.

Fortunately for everyone, not everything is as dim as it seems to be. Decentralization in blockchains is paramount and Massive has since emerged as a hyper-growth startup offering Decentralization as a Service (DaaS). By providing users with a way to monetize their devices' latent computing resources and sharing them with its blockchain partners, Massive can instantly distribute the processing load of computational tasks by using a sort of remote parallel processing. 

So far, this approach has proven extremely successful among partners, developers, users, and investors. Back in November, Massive raised $11 million during a seed funding round led by Point 72 Ventures, with names like Coinbase Ventures, Kraken Ventures, and BlockTower Capital also participating.

As a model of growth and scalability, Massive has recently been gaining over 10,000 new nodes - users - every day. The latest report also showed that the project says its number of active users grew by 10x, achieving growth of over 70% month over month for 4 months straight. With over 100k daily active nodes in 92% of the countries in the world, Massive is a commercially viable distributed supercomputer aimed at providing revenue opportunities for users in markets that were previously difficult to reach and in areas of the industry that never existed before.

For developers, Massive offers them an SDK that provides an alternative means of monetizing their apps and services. Users opt in to gain access to premium features, subscriptions, and ad-free content in exchange for a negligible percentage of their device's resources. Furthermore, both users and developers receive additional benefits from being rewarded for their participation. Once this computing power is allocated, it is used by partners for tasks such as running scientific simulations, mining cryptocurrency, training AI, and more, simply by sampling only anonymous telemetry data.

Blockchains depend on nodes to operate successfully and this substantial growth has proven essential to Massive's partners by allowing them to increase the efficiency and security of their decentralized networks while ensuring users retain autonomy over their resources. Historically, projects would have found themselves needing to resort to centralized services like Amazon Web Services. Today, Massive is the decentralized alternative for distributed computing power for developers and blockchains alike.
