CLOUD TECH REQUIREMENTS (focus of V3)

  • Compute, Storage, Network need to be
    • Local
    • Sovereign
    • Private
    • More Secure
  • Storage needs to be
    • Ultra reliable (never lose data)
    • Capable to be global and be used as CDN (Content Delivery Network)
    • Fast enough for the Use Case at hand
    • Optimized for Edge/AI (deduped for containers, vm’s, …)
  • The network needs to be
    • Working no matter what happens with the existing network, route around issues.
    • Local sensitive (chose shortest path)
    • End2End Encrypted
    • Capable to know where information goes to or comes from (authenticity)

3.14 Updates and Improvements

  • Release Focus
    • Stability and reliability
    • Main goal for now and the short term is to achieve high-availability in order to be able to support larger projects we are speaking with
  • Release Highlights
    • Node: Can deploy 3Nodes with HDD only
    • Farmerbot: farmers can now specify the priority to wake up nodes
    • Mycelium support throughout the ecosystem

What’s coming with 3.15

  • Guardian validator stacks deployed & well documented
  • Mycelium as baselayer, remove rmb
  • Mycelium client for mobile & desktops
  • Mycelium new features: socks5 + dns resolver (resolves to our backend (centralized for now) as well std internet)
  • Well documented openrpc endpoints in zos/explorer/…
  • Nice UI for quantum safe storage in ZOS
  • Marketplace server (python+v) openrpc API (no UI yet), deploys cloud slices, storage slices, … using USDC stellar (first version)

Grid 4

CLOUD OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS (V4)

  • SCALE
    • To be a credible alternative to Amazon, Google, … we need millions of nodes.
    • We need reward system to be capable to deploy those millions of nodes.
  • UPTIME WITH RELIABLE SERVICE LEVELS GUARANTEES
    • Our current v3 cloud is based on best effort approach, not good enough for many workloads.
    • It’s ok to have multiple levels of service, but we need to make sure customers know,
    • Better tools to find capacity in line with requirements.
    • We need flexible pricing, so farmers can define price in line with service levels.
    • We need farming pools to assist farmers who are not tech or don’t want to spent much time.
    • There need to be agreements & commitments between farmers & customers where needed.
  • LEGAL
    • To be a service provider has certain legal requirements, right now it’s all part of T&C but that is too rough, this needs to be fine-tuned.
    • Many customers will want a possibility to have a contract between themselves and our project.

TFGrid 4.0 focus is mainly on these requirements, we have as aim to become the most usable edge cloud.
