Tuya’s connectivity journey began with a clear mission: to make the development of Matter-over-Thread devices more accessible, scalable, and cost-efficient for OEM customers worldwide. As one of the leading AI cloud platform service providers, Tuya faced several industry-wide challenges, including the large size of SDK resources, limited chipset availability, and frequent upgrades in specifications and certification requirements—each contributing to development complexity and higher costs.

Recognizing the need for a standardized, low-power, and future-proof solution,Tuya chose Thread as the foundation for its Matter offerings. Thread’s nativesupport within Matter, along with its low energy consumption and robust interoperability, made it the ideal choice over alternatives like Zigbee or Bluetooth LE.

By adopting Thread, Tuya was able to deliver turnkey Matter-over-Thread solutions—including chipsets, modules, firmware, and App SDKs—that help global OEM brands build, test, certify, and launch their own devices. This dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for manufacturers, speeds up time-to-market, and enables broader adoption of Thread technology across smart homeand building ecosystems.

Tuya began investing in Thread in 2021, positioning itself early in the evolution of Matter. Today, Tuya not only accelerates innovation but also empowers its partners to scale confidently in a rapidly growing connected world.
