Project Overview

The go-computing-provider V2 proposal aims to enhance and expand upon the foundational functionalities of the original go-computing-provider. This version introduces critical updates to ensure seamless integration with the SWAN ecosystem post-TGE (Token Generation Event) and further refines the architecture to support a wider range of tasks and use cases.

Core Functionalities

1. Full Support for SWAN Token-Based Operations

• Transition to SWAN Token: All operations will transition to be fully based on SWAN tokens post-TGE.
• Smart Contract Upgrades: Implementation of upgraded smart contracts to support the new tokenomics.
• Account Migration: Seamless migration of user accounts to the new system.
• Staking Mechanism: Introduction of a comprehensive staking mechanism for providers.
• Legacy Compatibility: Support for withdrawal of balances from older versions to ensure compatibility and user trust.

2. Separation of ECP and FCP Functions

• ECP (Edge Computing Provider):
  • Refined focus and definition for edge computing tasks.
  • Support for more task types, such as mining and smaller-scale inference services.
• FCP (Full Computing Provider):
  • Enhanced capabilities for handling general-purpose computational tasks.
  • Full compatibility with the Universal Basic Income (UBI) task pool to manage all task types within the pool.

3. Expanded Task Support

• ECP Enhancements:
  • Broader range of tasks, particularly smaller-scale, real-time computing services.
  • Support for tasks requiring lower latency and edge-specific computational capabilities.
• FCP Enhancements:
  • Enhanced task support to cover all task types within the UBI task pool, ensuring flexibility and scalability.

Deliverables

1. Upgraded smart contracts and staking mechanisms.
2. Comprehensive account migration tools.
3. New and improved APIs for task management in ECP and FCP.
4. Documentation for providers and users to facilitate the transition.
5. Compatibility tools for older versions and balance withdrawal processes.
