So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the youngA very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
2021 has been the most unusual and difficult year for most to say the least. While 2020 had a brief period of relative normalcy, 2021 proved that the pandemic has dominated our lives since the start of the year. While we all had to adapt to this “new normal,” we also experienced a remarkable breakthrough where humanity came together to build SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus vaccine in a record time.
Admittedly, we still have a long way to go to get the world in order; at the same time, this year proved that our world is more connected than ever. Our team at HOT-G is hopeful and positive that things will be looking up. If anything, 2021 gave us all a preview of a more digitized future. There is a lot of potential for experimentation with opportunities to rethink things and find out what isn’t working and what’s working. In the last year, we have learned a lot about what didn’t work, but we also learned a ton about what worked and really honed in on those skills to accomplish the things we set out to do as a team.
Here is a proud recap of our accomplishments this year:
Our team launched our open-source tool, Rune and related command line tools.
We raised our seed round with some of the best investors in Silicon Valley who believed in our vision for edge computing.
Our company partnered with Hack the north and Hack Princeton to run two very successful hackathons.
Our team kicked off work on building our SaaS platform called Hammer Forge (launching in early 2022), which is continuously improving our open-source tools.
Our team grew from two guys in a garage setup to a whooping fourteen team members with a primary focus in engineering of course!
Our TinyVerse Community is consistently growing with our blog read by many incredible investors, entrepreneurs, and engineers.
We are a proud strategic partner with the TinyML Foundation and also provide support to the Webassembly community.
We started working with some amazing enterprise customers to bring secure and observable edge computing.
Our team is having a grand kicking-ass time working hard in a company we believe in!
We are walking into 2022 with a great sense of optimism where our ideas are primetime ready for the mass markets!
One more thing
At HOT-G, we are big believers in decentralization, and the technology that supports the blockchain. Our team has been tiptoeing around the metaverse; however, we plan on doing and bringing a lot more to this market in 2022.
Here’s a little teaser:
We are working on integrating edge computing, AI, and blockchain, that helps bring AI to the chain in a way that can truly lead to full decentralization.
With HOT-G’s products launching in 2022, decentralized verification of Real-World-Events, using edge computing stack will be possible.

Bon voyage to a bittersweet 2021! Our team believes in the magic of new beginnings because the first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay where you are. And we intend to take HOT-G to new heights! Thank you for sticking around and believing in us! 2022 is about to get rowdy!
