Spheron Unveils Fizz Node for Flexible AI Compute Resources, According to Chainwire

Singapore, October 1st, 2024

Spheron, a decentralized platform that utilizes computing resources, has introduced Fizz Nodes. This new feature allows users to earn rewards by providing computational resources for deploying AI workloads at the edge, without the stringent reliability standards required by traditional provider nodes.

Fizz Nodes create a more accessible opportunity for individuals to engage in the decentralized network by offering GPU and CPU resources, while maintaining a more flexible uptime requirement. Users can contribute compute resources to manage AI workloads on the edge, and their rewards will depend on the resources they provide and their uptime. The potential earnings fluctuate based on demand and resource utilization, providing multiple revenue streams through direct rewards and IDLE rewards.

Liveness rewards, allocated in Spheron Points, are calculated every 24 hours based on the quality of the resources shared. To qualify for rewards, a minimum uptime of 50% during each ERA (24-hour period) is necessary. Additionally, node operators can earn directly from users who lease their computing resources, with most leasing fees going to the operators after deducting network fees.

“The introduction of Fizz Nodes provides users with a more efficient way to engage with our platform, allowing them to share valuable compute resources while adhering to a lower uptime standard compared to traditional provider nodes,” stated Prashant Maurya, Co-founder of Spheron. “We believe this offering will significantly improve our network’s scalability and efficiency, while enabling a broader range of contributors to benefit from our ecosystem.”

Spheron has launched the Fizz Node Leaderboard, which facilitates easy management for operators. Users can track their node’s performance and uptime, view and withdraw earnings from both liveness rewards and user leases, as well as adjust settings and resource offerings for their nodes.

Currently, Fizz Nodes are compatible with MacOS and Linux, with support for Windows anticipated soon. Setting up a Fizz Node involves registration on the Spheron network and following a straightforward configuration guide. Operators can then monitor their node’s activity and earnings through the Leaderboard.
