RELAY

Blockcast RELAY Node: Your Neighborhood's Content Hub

Blockcast RELAY node is a compact, plug-and-play device that improves streaming in your house and lets you participate in delivering content over the internet to earn weekly rewards.

  • Action: Purchase specialized hardware from Blockcast, run from the network edge (eg. your apartment, garage, local coffee shops), serve your neighbors and earn weekly rewards.

  • Things you can do with a RELAY node:

    • Automatically caches and delivers popular content to you and your neighbors

    • Serves as a multicast source, extending multicast services to networks that cannot peer directly with a CAST node

    • Earns you weekly rewards for sharing your spare internet resources
