## Quote — verbatim

> Phase four is to really offer low latency, heavily distributed computation, and in order for that to happen we need to have thousands of nodes spread across the world. Right now we have about 50 providers spread across the world. By the time we reach phase four we will essentially offer a product that's unlike any other product in web2 or web3.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

The endgame of the roadmap — a globally distributed edge-like compute network, quantified against the ~50 providers live in August 2022.
