Collateral Requirement and Computing Unit

The base collateral requirement is 3533 $SWAN. Different GPU models contribute differently to the network and thus have varying Computing Unit (CU) and Collateral Requirements Per Card (in $SWAN).

About Computing Unit (CU)

CU, or Computing Unit, is a fundamental parameter in Swan Chain. It serves as a virtual unit that quantifies the computational resources contributed by Computing Providers (CPs). Additionally, CU plays a critical role in determining the collateral requirements for CPs.

Purpose of CU

The primary function of CU is to calculate the collateral required for CPs, ensuring they maintain sufficient staking to qualify for UBI rewards and task allocations on Swan Chain. CPs can check their CU value through the Provider Dashboard.

Collateral Calculation Formula

The required collateral for CPs is determined using the following formula:

$$Collateral=CU×Base Collateral$$

where CU represents the number of computing units allocated to a CP, and Base Collateral is a predefined constant, currently set at 3,533.

Example Calculation

For a CP with a CU value of 100, given that the Base Collateral is 3,533, the required collateral would be:

$$100×3,533=353,300$$

Notes:

1. GPU model: This column lists different models of GPUs.

2. Computing Unit (CU) : CU refers to the relative computational contribution of each GPU model. A higher CU value indicates that the GPU has a greater capacity for contributing computational resources, which can lead to higher potential earnings.

3. Collateral Requirement Per Card (in $SWAN): This shows the amount of $SWAN tokens required as collateral for each GPU card under normal circumstances.

4. Collateral Requirement Per Card during UBI - 0 (in $SWAN): This represents the amount of $SWAN tokens required as collateral for each GPU card during the initial UBI period (referred to as UBI-0). This amount may differ from the regular collateral requirement.
