Swan Provider Campaign

Introduction

The Swan Provider Campaign is designed to incentivize participants to contribute computing resources and workloads to the Swan Chain network. By participating, individuals and organizations can compete to earn their share of the 800,000 SWAN tokens prize pool.

Duration

July 15, 00:00 (EST) - September 15, 23:59 (EST)

Prize Pool Distribution

  • Total Prize Pool: 800,000 SWAN tokens

    • Edge Computing Provider (ECP): 40% of the total prize pool, starting from July 29

    • Fog Computing Provider (FCP): 50% of the total prize pool, starting from July 15

    • Market Provider (MP): 10% of the total prize pool, starting from July 15

Role of the Challenge

Participants will contribute computing resources to the Swan Chain network in the following capacities:

Fog Computing Provider (FCP)

Fog Computing Providers (FCPs) extend cloud capabilities to the edge of the network, providing scalable and distributed computing services. They play a crucial role in handling AI model training and deployment, leveraging infrastructure like Kubernetes (K8S).

Hardware Requirements:

  • Public IP

  • Domain name (*.example.com)

  • SSL certificate

  • At least one GPU

  • Minimum 8 vCPUs

  • Minimum 100GB SSD storage

  • Minimum 64GB memory

  • Minimum 50MB bandwidth

Edge Computing Provider (ECP)

Edge Computing Providers (ECPs) are integral to the Swan Chain ecosystem, specializing in processing data at the source of data generation with minimal latency. They are essential for real-time applications, handling localized tasks directly on devices at the network’s edge, such as IoT devices.

Hardware Requirements:

  • Public IP

  • At least one GPU

  • Minimum 4 vCPUs

  • Minimum 300GB HDD storage

  • Minimum 32GB memory

  • Minimum 20MB bandwidth
