Community Progress

Mainnet Launch

On July 2, 2024, following the successful conclusion of the “Planet” testnet series (which included the Lagrange Mars, Swan Jupiter, Swan Saturn Testnet, and Swan Proxima Testnet), Swan Chain proudly launched its mainnet. This event marked a significant milestone in Swan Chain’s journey, paving the way for the Token Generation Event (TGE) and establishing Swan Chain’s position on the global blockchain map.

Swan Chain rolled out the mainnet incentivized campaign to encourage active participation from the community. The campaign began on July 2 at 23:00 EST, with no cap on potential earnings.

Product Progress

Orchestrator

  • Overhauled the collateral mechanism. Contracts no longer handle stake holding or releasing; calculations are now performed locally, significantly reducing gas consumption.
  • Upgraded task status management by optimizing criteria for task running, completion, and termination, enhancing the accuracy of Task states.
  • Improved client payment process by separating payment and renewal processes, effectively lowering gas fees for client payments and decoupling task deployment and renewal payment workflows.
  • Adjusted CP reward distribution, implementing a more equitable method to ensure equal rewards for CPs consuming resources.

Swan Provider

  • Added real-time display of available GPU resources across the network, enhancing resource visualization. Implemented real-time monitoring of current CP operational status.
  • Integrated real-time contribution score display in the dashboard of ECP, providing intuitive ECP performance metrics.
  • Optimized GPU list sorting based on comprehensive GPU performance.

Computing Provider

  • Enhanced the resource acquisition mechanism of resource-exporter and unified version for both ECP and FCP.
  • Introduced an account verification mechanism to mitigate issues where proofs cannot be submitted due to insufficient resources or account balances, thereby reducing penalties in ECP.
  • Modified the mechanisms for retrieving FCP rewards and task statuses to fetch data directly from the blockchain, eliminating dependency on the Orchestrator API.
  • Added new features for sequencer accounts, including account recharge and withdrawal functionalities.
  • Upgraded the UBI image to version 3.0 to reduce sporadic data download failures caused by network issues.
  • Introduced a mechanism for ECP to withdraw funds from escrow accounts, ensuring thorough settlement through a two-step confirmation process.
  • Implemented a feature to ensure timely updates of task statuses and rewards for ECP tasks.

Lagrange

  • Launched the new website integrated with Swan Chain mainnet: https://lagrange.computer
  • Supported different payment methods for space deployment and renewal to save gas fees and reduce user costs.
  • Adjusted the CP display logic on the space page to ensure users always see available app pages.
  • Added renewal payment records to the payment history.

ZK Engine

  • Launched V3 ECP collateral mechanism for mainnet incentive campaign.
  • ZK sequencer service is now online as an L3 computing solution, significantly reducing ECP gas consumption.
  • Optimized batch operations in ECP collateral contracts to reduce gas consumption.
  • Implemented communication between the ZK sequencer and ECP with signature verification to ensure ECP authenticity.
  • Added gas control mechanism on the ZK engine to save gas costs.
