What Edge does

Edge Network Limited (operating as Edge) is a privately held, UK-incorporated decentralised cloud infrastructure provider founded in 2013 and operating as a fully remote team of 11–50 people. Edge delivers a four-product core platform — Edge CDN (content delivery from 1,793+ locations), Edge Compute (virtual machines across 20+ regions), Edge DNS (authoritative anycast DNS with sub-second propagation), and Edge Storage (S3-compatible object storage) — built on a global mesh of 5,000+ independent node operators across 80+ countries, coordinated by a proprietary Layer 1 blockchain called XE that handles node staking, reputation, governance, and the EDGE token payment rail.

The platform is positioned as a decentralised alternative to AWS, GCP, and Azure, emphasising zero egress fees, no regional pricing multipliers, sub-15ms global median latency (measured via PerfOps), 99.99% uptime SLA on the Enterprise tier, and ~50% lower energy consumption per request than hyperscale providers. Go-to-market is hybrid: a product-led growth motion through a self-serve storefront with a 30-day, $2.50 trial and developer-first tooling (Edge CLI, JavaScript/Python/Go SDKs, REST API, and an Agent API for AI-driven infrastructure management), supplemented by an enterprise field sales motion with custom SLAs and dedicated account managers for mission-critical media and enterprise workloads.

Revenue mechanics come from subscription and usage-based billing for CDN, Compute, DNS, and Storage services, EDGE token payments for services, domain services (ed.ge premium domains at $5/month, test.network subdomains at $1/month), and multi-year enterprise SLA contracts. Named enterprise customers include Tinder, Bauer Media Group, Monocle, IGD, and Minima; the company claims 3,000+ customers and 50M+ daily users served. Compliance posture is GDPR-compliant, with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II listed as in progress.

Revenue model

1. Cloud Infrastructure Subscription: Subscription and usage-based billing for CDN, Compute, DNS, and Storage services. Subscription fees billed in advance; usage-based charges billed in arrears. Customers pay for what they store and compute, with zero egress fees. Annual discounts may apply.
2. EDGE Token Payments: EDGE token is the platform token used to pay for cloud services (CDN, compute, storage, DNS). XE blockchain underpins the economic layer. Listed on OKX exchange for DePIN/edge-computing token exposure.
3. Domain Services: Premium ed.ge domains at $5/month per domain; test.network subdomains at $1/month. Billed to Edge account.
4. Enterprise SLA Contracts: Enterprise tier with 99.99% uptime guarantee, dedicated support, dedicated account manager, and custom SLA terms. Service credits for SLA breaches. Custom SLAs available with tailored response times, coverage, and credit structures.

Core offering

Edge Network provides decentralized cloud infrastructure services — Edge CDN, Edge Compute (VMs), Edge DNS, and Edge Storage (S3-compatible) — delivered through a global mesh of 5,000+ independent node operators across 80+ countries and coordinated by the proprietary XE Layer 1 blockchain. The platform targets developers, media companies, and enterprises with zero egress fees, sub-15ms global latency, and a 99.99% uptime SLA on Enterprise tier.

Product overview

Edge Network is a distributed cloud infrastructure platform built on decentralized technology (the world's first decentralized cloud) that provides edge-native cloud services through a global network of 5,000+ independent node operators across 80+ countries. The platform offers a unified portfolio of four core services: Edge CDN (content delivery from 1,793 edge locations with zero egress fees), Edge Compute (virtual machines in 20+ regions), Edge DNS (authoritative DNS with sub-second propagation and geographic routing), and Edge Storage (S3-compatible object storage). These core products are complemented by developer tools including the Edge CLI, JavaScript/Python/Go SDKs, and the Agent API for AI-driven infrastructure management. The platform targets modern media and enterprise workloads, emphasizing 50% greener infrastructure, transparent pricing (no egress fees), and simplicity compared to traditional hyperscalers.
