5. Technical Solutions and Expense
GEOS will spend millions RMB on node and API infrastructure building.
GEOS has made very detailed plans for different phases, namely testnet phase, mainnet phase and future expansion phase.
5.1. Testnet
Before the mainnet is launch on June 3rd, 2018，considering that the network load is not heavy, we will apply the following server setup for testnet node:
- serves: 2（one for master and another for backup）
- Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4
- Cores: 16- Ram: 64GB DDR3
- Disk: 1TB SSD
- Bandwidth: 2000Mbps
- Location: Japan
5.2. Mainnet
On 3rd of June 2018, the mainnet will be up, the overall network load will vary in a arrange, GEOS will setup a new node in mainnet while keeping the testnet node running as well. Besides, GEOS will launch API server for DAPP which will be separate from the API server for block producer, due to security reason.
Specifically, the plan is
BP Server setup：
- serves: 2（one for master and another for backup）
- Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4
- Cores: 32- Ram: 64GB DDR3
- Disk: 1TB SSD
- Bandwidth: 4000Mbps
- Location: Japan
API Server setup：
- serves: 2（load balance）
- Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4
- Cores: 32
- Ram: 64GB DDR3
- Disk: 1TB SSD
- Bandwidth: 4000Mbps
- Location: Japan
5.3. Scalability
After the main network is running for a period of time, in order to cope with the growing node pressure, the node configuration will be further expanded to be able to handle more requests and data volumes, and support more dAPPs access. At this stage, GEOS will support a number of API Servers in major cities around the world, allowing dAPPs distributed around the world to receive the fastest response from the recent API Servers. The specific configuration scheme is as follows:
BP Server configuration：
- serves: 2（one for master and another for backup）
- Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4
- Cores: 64
- Ram: 128GB DDR3
- Disk: 2TB SSD
- Bandwidth: 10000 Mbps
- Location: Japan
API Server Configuration：
- serves: not less than 8（Intelligent dns parsing and load balance）
- Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4
- Cores: 32
- Ram: 64GB DDR3
- Disk: 2TB SSD
- Bandwidth: 4000Mbps
- Location: Singapore、Japan、Germany、American，and so on
GEOS will also develop a complete supporting monitoring system to constantly monitor the load of the network and the operation situation of servers, and perform dynamic capacity expansion and fault server switching in a timely manner. At the same time, in order to prevent nodes from being attacked by DDOS, GEOS nodes will all enable high-prevention services to ensure stable and reliable services.
6. Roadmap
7. Brief Description on Spend Plan
8. Stance on dividends
GEOS will not pay dividends to its supporters, neither in any direct or indirect approach. GEOS will be based on the principle that the profit of running the node is derived from the community and needs to return to the community. The income will be used to incubate and support the projects on EOS blockchain, in addition to cover the cost of API Server nodes and team members.
9. Events Information
