Taipei, Taiwan, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MetaEdge, an enterprise web-data intelligence platform building the infrastructure that powers the AI era, today held the International Official Launch of The NEST, opening its household edge network to users around the world. The milestone moves The NEST from an invite-only soft launch into full international availability.
MetaEdge Global Launch of The NEST
The modern AI economy depends on access to genuine, worldwide, real-world web data, and demand for that data continues to accelerate. At the same time, significant computing and connectivity capacity sits idle in homes every day. The NEST connects those two realities. Through a lightweight application on a single home device, households can securely contribute a small, controlled share of their idle internet bandwidth, including home WiFi, to help power enterprise AI data pipelines, and earn rewards for taking part. The process is user-controlled, runs quietly in the background, and is protected by end-to-end encryption.
"Today, The NEST goes global," said Wesley Blom, International CEO of MetaEdge. "For months it has been tested quietly by real users in real homes. Now we are opening that opportunity to households everywhere. The AI era runs on real-world data, and the capacity to supply it has been sitting unused in ordinary homes. The NEST turns that idle capacity into something people can take part in and share in."
The launch follows a measured soft-launch period during which MetaEdge ran The NEST on an invite-only basis to validate performance in real-world conditions before opening it to the public. In that period, thousands of early users across more than 30 countries took part, consistently reporting that the application was simple to set up and ran without noticeable impact on their own devices.
MetaEdge has operated as an enterprise web-data business since 2023, serving AI labs, data providers and enterprises that need real-world web data at scale. The NEST extends that same infrastructure to the edge, drawing on the enterprise demand that already drives the company's work.
Blom said MetaEdge will lead its international expansion on three principles: global-first, building for the world from the start; partner-led, growing through strong local and institutional partners; and community-powered, because the network only works when real people take part. Priority regions for expansion include Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
"Our vision is simple," Blom added. "Every home can have a place in the AI economy. We are building a global network with local roots, and today is the beginning, not the finish line."
Looking ahead, MetaEdge's roadmap extends The NEST beyond bandwidth to additional idle household resources over time, including cloud storage and compute. The company said it will continue to expand responsibly, following local data-protection law in every market it enters and treating privacy, security and governance as core disciplines.
The NEST is available now to households internationally. To learn more or take part, visit metaedge.xyz.
