A new integration enables laptops to register on blockchain networks, tokenize their identity, and share idle CPU capacity, transforming consumer devices into decentralized computing nodes.

This initiative aims to democratize computing infrastructure by turning millions of laptops into nodes, reducing reliance on centralized data centers, and allowing users to monetize their unused resources.

Laptops participating in this network maintain security through Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware, ensuring cryptographic integrity and user data control.

Thomson Metavisio's CEO, Stéphane Français, expressed pride in enabling users to access decentralized technology with real utility today, marking a significant step in consumer hardware innovation.

The project leverages SEALCOIN's security features, which enhance sovereignty by using TPM hardware for cryptographic integrity and safeguarding user data.

This collaboration reflects a shared vision to build secure, autonomous, and monetizable decentralized digital infrastructure on a global scale, aligning with WISeKey's broader goals of integrating blockchain, IoT, and AI.

Thomson plans to extend this technology to future laptop shipments over the next 18 months, initially deploying in France and the EU, with the goal of broader adoption across their production.

The initiative supports environmental sustainability by utilizing existing hardware resources instead of expanding energy-intensive data centers, contributing to greener computing.

This deployment offers potential revenue streams for users, enhances security, and supports future AI and distributed computing applications, emphasizing the practical benefits of decentralized infrastructure.

This initiative also prepares the infrastructure for AI workloads such as distributed AI inference and federated learning, making decentralized computing increasingly vital for AI's future.

WISeKey's subsidiary SEALCOIN has partnered with Thomson Metavisio to integrate SEALCOIN Agent into an initial batch of 2,000 laptops, marking a significant step toward decentralized computing in consumer devices.

The SEALCOIN Agent operates discreetly in the background, compatible with Windows TPM, with user controls for activation and exploration, and plans to scale up in upcoming production runs.
