+# Tier-H: Distributed Compute at the Edge
+
+Tier-H represents the deployment of compute nodes at the network edge. This can range from individuals connecting single nodes in their homes to real estate developers embedding clusters of nodes directly into new developments as a utility for residents.
+
+This model is designed to bring compute capacity directly to where people live and work.
+
+### Key Characteristics:
+- **Decentralized by Design**: Nodes are geographically distributed, creating a resilient and low-latency network.
+- **Plug-and-Play**: Requires no technical knowledge for setup, making it accessible to anyone.
+- **Real Estate Integration**: Turns any property into a productive digital asset, contributing to a global internet infrastructure and earning income.
+- **Use Cases**: Ideal for AI inference, storage, Kubernetes, Web3 applications, and providing local cloud services.
