Product Progress

Swan Chain

Launched Swan Chain, an Ethereum layer 2 AI computing blockchain built on OP Stack , to support Universal Basic Income (zk-UBI) and cloud computing services in the Swan ecosystem.
Introduced Swan Bridge to achieve cross-chain swap with Sepolia and Swan Chain, allowing users to conduct cross-chain asset transfer.

Orchestrator

Launched Orchestrator to connect cloud computing resources with platform demands targeting service providers, providing high-quality computing services based on Swan Chain.
Implemented a Collateral mechanism for computing providers (CP), requiring a certain amount of tokens staked to reliable computing services.
Redesigned Orchestrator Dashboard for an intuitive interface and robust analytical tools.

zk-UBI

Launched UBI-engine to reward providers for contributing computing resources, verified through zero-knowledge proofs.
Supported fil-c2 tasks to detect resource online status simultaneously.
Continuously monitored proofs submitted by CPs to Swan Chain and distributed rewards based on on-chain proof records.
Launched UBI-challenger to monitor the authenticity of on-chain proof data and prevent fraud.
Introduced “UBI reward history” on Swan Dashboard where computing providers can view income records.

Computing Provider

Enabled providers to integrate with Swan Chain, and support Space deployment on Lagrange.
Integrated Orchestrator to open up resource invocation to more Dapps.
Supported Orchestrator collateral mechanism where CPs need a certain amount staked when taking tasks.
Added computing provider account initialization to submit info to Swan Chain.
Supported receiving UBI tasks. CPs can configure receiving fil-c2 zk tasks and submit zk-proofs to the Swan chain. Check the tutorial here.
Added UBI task-related commands for task details query.
Optimized resource-exporter to be compatible with CPs without GPU.
Refined Collateral and Escrow management mechanism to automatically return staked tokens to the Collateral account for new tasks after normal task completion.

Lagrange

Lagrange successfully integrated Orchestrator with a brand-new deployment process for a smoother Space deployment experience.
Delivered UI/UX improvements for better user-friendliness.
Optimized multi-wallet sign-in so users can log in smoothly even with multiple wallets installed concurrently
Streamlined renew process to extend spaces without redeployment
Added new close function for users to terminate space anytime
Improved naming when forking spaces to avoid conflicts with existing names that block forking
Refined claim review/refund function
Upgraded log display for easier access by users to view space deployment/runtime logs
Enhanced space status display by adding more running configuration indicators
Optimized visibility into space deployment status/progress by including more granular state updates
Improved displaying of currently available deployments per space
Expanded Space hardware options to include AI GPU configurations, meeting deployment requirements for AI spaces
