Provisioning edge devices in a mobile carrier network as compute nodes in a blockchain network

摘要

Technologies for using edge devices in a cellular network as compute nodes to participate in a blockchain network are described. A cellular network may provision one or more edge devices in communication with the cellular network to instantiate a virtual machine on the edge device to act as a compute node. The cellular network may submit a bid to solve a blockchain hash function using the compute nodes and may instruct the edge to solve the blockchain hash function.
