Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A crypto wallet (MetaMask recommended)

• SWANU tokens

• A mining pool account (e.g., F2Pool for Aleo mining in this guide)

1. Obtaining SWANU Tokens

1.1 Purchase via DEX

You can acquire SWANU tokens through the DEX pool at IcecreamSwap: https://www.geckoterminal.com/swanchain/pools/0x4fd0c2c5360d980d650fe02a19b1460b1802134b

1.2 Earn Through Computing Resources

Alternatively, earn SWANU by contributing your computing resources:

• Deploy ECP (Edge Computing Provider)

• Deploy FCP (Fog Computing Provider)

Learn more about CP deployment here: https://docs.swanchain.io/bulders/computing-provider

2. Managing Your SWANU Balance

Swan Chain Console features two distinct balance types:

Available Balance

• Primary account for storing credits

• Allows unrestricted transfers

• Functions as your main SWANU wallet within the platform

Escrow Balance

• Used for all operational costs

• Subject to transfer restrictions

• Required for deploying mining tasks

• Important: The system automatically deducts fees every 24 hours and transfers them directly to the Computing Provider’s beneficiary address

Locked Balance

• A portion of your Escrow Balance that ensures the application can run for at least 12 hours

• Will be released after the application is closed or terminated

• Note: Before deploying any mining task, your Escrow Balance must have sufficient funds to cover the initial 12-hour locked period

Balance Management Steps

To use the platform, you must transfer SWANU from your external wallet to your Available Balance.

1. Deposit Process

• Navigate to “Account” in the left panel

• Click “Recharge” to transfer SWANU from your wallet to Available Balance

• Locate the arrow icon between the balance accounts and click to transfer from “Available Balance” to “Escrow Balance”

2. Withdrawal Process

CRITICAL NOTE: The withdrawal process involves two steps and includes a mandatory waiting period.

Step 1: Escrow to Available Balance

• Click the arrow icon (right to left) between balance accounts

• IMPORTANT: A 7-day processing period required

• CRUCIAL: You must confirm the first withdrawal transaction within the “ Transfer” section after processing

Step 2: Available Balance to Wallet

• Only proceed after completing Step 1

• Click the “Withdraw” button in the Available Balance card

• Monitor transaction status in withdrawal history
