Computing Provider Income
Swan Chain is a decentralized network that connects computing providers with users requiring computational resources. To foster early network growth and incentivize CPs to join and contribute resources, a dual compensation mechanism has been designed:
Universal Basic Income (UBI): Provides CPs with a predictable token income when their resources are underutilized.
Paid Jobs: Offers market-priced compensation for computational tasks requested by users.
This mechanism ensures a fair and gradual distribution of tokens to providers, supporting the network's expansion until it reaches a critical mass of user-paid tasks. Importantly, the UBI distribution rate is influenced by the resource usage rate, and CPs earn market-based compensation when engaged in paid jobs.
Total Income
The total daily income for a computing provider on day comprises two components:
UBI Income
Paid Job Income
Substituting the expressions for and
Resource Usage Rate Impact
When :
CP receives full UBI allocation.
No income from paid jobs.
When :
All resources are utilized by paid jobs.
CP receives full income from paid jobs.
No UBI allocation.
Intermediate Values:
CP's income is a combination of UBI and paid job compensation, proportional to resource utilization.
Individual CP's Income
To calculate the UBI for a single CP, we consider both the resource usage and completion rates of tasks. UBI allocation is conditional on sufficient resource contribution and performance metrics:
(1) UBI Workload Calculation
Calculate the daily completion rate of a single ECP zk-task:
Calculate the completion rate of a single FCP sampling task:
Number of GPUs and GPU types.
Calculate the total UBI workload:
(2) Calculating the UBI for a single CP:
As an ECP:
As an FCP:
Conditions for CP to Receive UBI
A CP must meet certain conditions to qualify for UBI:
Sufficient Collateral:
Where:
is the number of GPUs held by CP.
is the base collateral.
is the revenue growth factor
Completion of Basic Test Tasks:
FCP: Sampling task
ECP: ZK task
GPU count and type are also factored into the UBI eligibility.
