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 Blockchain GPU 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 Blockchain GPU task, your Escrow Balance must have sufficient funds to cover the initial 12-hour locked period
Settlement occurs at UTC 00:00 daily
System automatically deducts fees from Escrow Balance
Fees are transferred to corresponding Computing Provider's beneficiary address
Important: Insufficient balance will trigger automatic task termination
System actively monitors Escrow Balance levels
When the balance insufficient for current deployment costs:
All running tasks will be automatically terminated
System prevents new task deployments
Critical: Maintain sufficient Escrow Balance to avoid service interruption
To use the platform, you must transfer SWANU from your external wallet to your Available Balance.
