# FCP Funding Operations Guide ## Introduction This guide provides detailed instructions on how to manage token-related operations required for Fog Computing Providers (FCP) in the Swan Chain network. Follow this guide to ensure you have the necessary tokens and collateral for your tasks. ### 1. Preparation #### 1.1 Obtaining ETH for Gas Fees FCP requires `ETH` as transaction gas fees. Follow these steps to get `ETH`: * Visit Swan Chain's official bridge website: [bridge.swanchain.io](https://bridge.swanchain.io) * Cross-chain your `ETH` to Swan Chain to get `Swan ETH`. * It is recommended to prepare enough `ETH` to account for fluctuations in network gas fees. #### 1.2 Obtaining SWAN for Collateral FCP requires SWAN as collateral, you can buy it from CEXs. SWAN is currently listed on [Gate.io](https://www.gate.io/trade/SWAN_USDT), [MEXC](https://www.mexc.com/exchange/SWAN_USDT), and [LBank](https://www.lbank.com/trade/swan_usdt).

Collateral Management #### 2.1 Collateral Requirements * Collateral amounts dynamically adjust based on network computing power. * Review our[ comprehensive collateral documentation](https://docs.swanchain.io/core-concepts/token/computing-provider-collateral/collateral-requirement-and-earning-multiplier) for detailed information * Monitor the [Swan dashboard](https://provider.swanchain.io/overview) for computing units and base collateral trends(upcoming feature) * Maintain sufficient collateral to ensure continuous task eligibility **2.2 Slash Collateral** To maintain network performance and accountability, CPs are subject to a precise slashing mechanism that penalizes inefficient or unreliable computing services. For each failed task, CPs face graduated penalties: * Fog Computing Providers (FCP) lose 0.1% of their current full collateral amount per failed task (approximately 3.533 SWAN for a 3080 GPU), with around 14 tasks processed daily. If a CP's collateral amount falls below the required threshold, they become ineligible to receive Universal Basic Income (UBI) tasks. To mitigate the risk of unexpected task exclusion, CPs are advised to maintain a buffer in their collateral amount. More details about Slash Collateral, check here: ### 3. Reward Mechanism #### 3.1 Task Completion Reward * FCPs can earn rewards after completing tasks. * Users are billed hourly based on the resources provided by the FCP. * Different configurations have different pricing, check the price [here](https://docs.lagrangedao.org/spaces/space-settings/space-hardware). #### 3.2 Revenue Distribution (coming soon) * The revenue distribution for each deployment is as follows: * The platform takes a 5% service fee. * The remaining 95% is divided among up to three FCPs (task processors). *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.swanchain.io/bulders/computing-provider/fog-computing-provider-fcp/fcp-token-operations-guide.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
