2 ） 嘉賓在線實時回答社區的自由提問。
再次歡迎@Pete Hill ，我們正式開始吧~
問題1 ：可以從您的角度，先給我們社區的小伙伴簡單介紹一下CUDOS這個項目嗎？它的願景和使命是什麼？
CUDOS is a cross-chain decentralized compute network being designed to power Web 3.0. It will enable anyone to sell their computing power or consume decentralised computing resources either via blockchain/smart contract or via more traditional cloud computing API's.
In essence, what this means is CUDOS will be one of the few networks which can power other blockchains and scale to the demands of cloud computing required today.
The Airbnb of computing power for a new internet!
CUDOS是一個跨鏈去中心化計算網絡，旨在賦能Web 3.0 。它將使任何人都可以通過區塊鏈/智能合約或通過更傳統的雲計算API來出售其計算能力或消耗去中心化計算資源。
簡言之，這意味著CUDOS將是少數既能夠賦能其他其他區塊鏈，又能夠不斷擴展滿足當今的雲計算需求的網絡之一。新互聯網的計算能力的Airbnb ！
問題2 ：最後，能介紹一下你們團隊背景和故事嗎？
Our founder and CEO, Matt Hawkins previously built an ISP providing datacentre, cloud and network infrastructure solutions called C4L. This became one of the largest privately owned UK networks in this space, providing 1% of the UKs internet infrastructure.

問題3：請說說現在我們已經實現了哪些里程碑以及未來的計劃？
We have successfully grown our supplier node base to over 40,000 active nodes, we're live in 145 countries and our growth is 500%+ since this time last year. User revenues over our platform are now in excess of $1.5m per month. We have also agreed big partnerships with AMD, Sapphire, Algorand and Ultra which will bring us accelerated growth both on the supply and demand side of the network.
For 2021, we are now focused on:
Q1: Launch CUDOS staking
Q2: Launch CUDOS testnet: initial 30 validators. Built using the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint
Q3: Launch testnet v2: first dApps in POC
Q3/4: Launch mainet: compute oracle services
CUDOS recently announced that it has completed multiple rounds of financing with a total of more than 10 million pounds. Strategic investors include Moonrock Capital, GBV, Spincrypto Capital, etc. CUDOS tokens have been launched on Bitmax, Gate.io, Kucoin and other trading platforms, and the testnet is planned to be launched in the second quarter.
我們已經成功地將我們的算力提供者基礎擴展到4萬多個活躍的節點，我們分佈在145個國家，自去年這個時候以來，我們的增長率達到了500% 。目前，我們平台的用戶收入每月超過150萬美元。我們還與AMD 、 Sapphire 、 Algorand和Ultra建立大型合作夥伴關係，這將為我們帶來網絡供需雙方的加速增長。
對於2021年，我們現在專注於：
第一季度：啟動CUDOS質押
第二季度：上線CUDOS測試網：最初30個驗證節點。使用Cosmos SDK和Tendermint構建
第三季度：上線第二版（ V2 ）測試網：首個DAPP進入POC
第三/第四季度：上線主網：提供計算預言機服務
CUDOS近期宣布已完成總額超過1000萬英鎊的多輪融資，戰略投資方包括Moonrock Capital 、 GBV 、 Spincrypto Capital等。 CUDOS代幣已上線Bitmax 、 Gate.io 、庫幣等交易平台，計劃二季度上線測試網。
問題4 ：目前市面上有哪些競爭對手？ CUDOS有哪些創新之處？ 它的機制將解決什麼？
There are a number of great market leaders in the space. These include the likes of Near Protocol, Oasis Protocol, Polygon. The vast majority have focused purely on smart contracts.
在這個領域有許多偉大的市場領導者。這些協議包括Near 、 Oasis和Polygon 。絕大多數人只專注於智能合約。
You of course have Ethereum and the upcoming Ethereum 2 as well and Akash is on the rise.
當然，還有以太坊和即將到來的以太坊2 ， Akash也在嶄露頭角。
CUDOS will enable you to scale out compute on EVM/eWASM, Docker Containers and VM's on a global compute network. We already have over 40,000 compute nodes and over 250,000 users which is scaling quickly, which gives us substantial global compute capacity.
CUDOS使您可以在一個全球計算網絡上擴展EVM （以太坊虛擬機） / eWASM 、 Docker容器和虛擬機（ VM ）的計算。我們已經擁有超過4萬個計算節點和超過25萬用戶，並且正在迅速擴展，這為我們提供了巨大的全球計算能力。
We have AMD rebranding our technology which you will see in shortly, and Ultra integrating our compute engine, between them is due to expand the network to over 1 million nodes in 2021. We are currently live in over 145 countries.
我們允許AMD對我們的技術進行品牌再包裝，你們不久就會看到相關消息。我們還讓Ultra集成到我們的計算引擎。通過這些合作夥伴，我們有望在2021年將網絡擴展到超過100萬個節點。我們目前在145個國家/地區開展業務。
As well at this network, we have been busy signing up global data centre providers and bandwidth providers to expand the network further.
在這一網絡上，我們也在積極地與全球數據中心提供商和帶寬提供商簽約，進一步擴展網絡。
The difference is we took a market approach first and applied the technology to that which is what is giving us the quick scale of network and users, plus we are able to provide computing power through the CUDOS network to both on and off chain consumers.
我們的不同之處是採用市場優先、技術應用次之的方法。這使得我們能夠快速擴展網絡和用戶的規模，也讓我們能夠通過CUDOS網絡同時向鏈上和鏈下消費者提供計算能力。
問題5 ： CUDOS代幣是如何分配的？他的激勵分配部分是如何設計的呢？
10 year release schedule. 10bn CUDOS in total.
100 validator nodes with min 2m stake. Each validator will be responsible for marketing to their networks to increase amount of delegated stake on their nodes. This network will be incentivised with staking rewards and bonuses. Our target is 75% of all CUDOS staked.
Tokens are used to buy and sell compute through the CUDOS network. Consumers can use other currencies too like fiat and this is then converted into CUDOS to pay the validators and compute nodes. Miners will be able to earn CUDOS through our platform as well.
CUDOS will be used to award and pay grants to incentivise development on the network.
More detail in our whitepaper available in English, Chinese and other languages from www.cudos.org .
總計100億CUDOS代幣，分十年釋放。
網絡有100個驗證節點，每個節點最低質押200萬CUDOS 。每個驗證節點負責向他們的網絡進行推介，以增加在他們自己的節點上的委託質押量。 CUDOS網絡將通過質押回報和額外獎金進行激勵。我們的目標是質押率達到所有CUDOS的75 ％。
CUDOS代幣用於在CUDOS網絡上買賣算力。消費者也可以使用其他貨幣，比如法幣。這些代幣會兌換成CUDOS ，再用來支付給驗證節點和計算節點。礦工也可以通過我們的平台賺取CUDOS代幣。
CUDOS代幣還將用於支付獎勵和補助金，從而激勵網絡上的開發。
您可以訪問www.cudos.org ，從英文、中文和其他語言版本的白皮書中獲得更多詳細信息。
問題6 ：可以說說用戶長期持有CUDOS的優勢和動機嗎？
We are focused on growing the network. This is where the value is, in being able to provide services to both blockchain users and traditional cloud consumers and the CUDOS token is core to that providing multiple functions/utilities within the network and ecosystem.
For holders, we are heavily incentivising staking with not just rewards and bonuses, but a share of the fees over the network. For compute nodes, they will also receive discount on platform fees. We have large partners adopting the technology and we are strategising with them how their customers can benefit from the token too. So there will be high levels of transactions over the network.
我們致力於增長網絡。這是價值所在，也就是為區塊鏈用戶和傳統雲服務消費者提供服務，而CUDOS代幣扮演著核心的角色，在網絡和生態系統中提供多種功能/效用。對於持幣人而言，我們對於質押不僅給予豐厚的回報和額外獎勵，還提供網絡交易費用的分成。對於計算節點而言，他們也將獲得平台費用的折扣。我們有許多大型合作夥伴採用我們的技術，並且我們正在與他們制定策略，如何使他們的客戶也可以從CUDOS代幣中受益。因此，平台上的交易量水平會很高。
精選粉絲問答
問題1：What do you think is the advantage of your project over other competitors?
The advantage that we have is that we will provide both onchain and offchain compute. The CUDOS network will essentially be a bridge between these two worlds. That's a big leap in the right direction for main market adoption and merging web2 with web3.
問題2：What is the current value of our project? What is the expected market value in the future?
The market will always decide on the token price.
Our focus is to grow the network by providing real value into the web3 ecosystem.
問題3：What do you think will be the biggest challenge on this track in the future? How can we break through successfully?
I think it is very clear where the gaps are in the blockchain space with the protocol (layer 1) projects struggling to scale because of cost and other reasons. Layer 2 is growing very fast because it is solving those issues.
Where we go one step further is to provide layer 3, so that we can bring traditional cloud consumers into the blockchain world.
The challenge is always in the transition. When cloud first became a technology in 2006, it was not until 2010 that most businesses understood what it was and it was then another 3-4 years before the major industries such as banking and insurance changed their policies to then move to cloud.
We are seeing the same now with blockchain and web 3. The inverse this time though, as the finance sector has been the first to adopt! : )
問題4：Please talk about the future development and expected benefits@Pete Hill
Whenever there is a new tech, the same question is asked: Are you Better, Faster, Cheaper?
This is where the CUDOS network will benefit customers
問題5：What is the total amount of cudos? What is the output mechanism?
10bn CUDOS in total that are released over a 10 year period.
We are targeting 75% of circulating supply to be staked on the network. This will create a very strong network
問題6 ： What practical problems does Cudos solve, and how can he improve on them in the future?
This is quite crazy, but a transaction over Ethereum last month reached a price nearly 1 billion times higher than the same size transaction would cost over a public cloud like Alibaba!
That's a real pain point for everyone in blockchain as we have seen from the gas fees.
On the other side, traditional cloud consumers using platforms like Alibaba and AWS are paying high costs for cloud resources.
The CUDOS network and distributed model addresses both of these audience pain points.
Also, the distributed model, means that anyone in the World can contribute to the network and earn, rather than a few central companies only
問題7：At present, many decentralized service's validators nodes are actually running on centralized service providers like AWS. What do you think of this problem?
This is something that CUDOS network layer 2 and Cudo layer 3 solves, CUDOS empowers blockchain companies to truly become decentralised and independent of centralised infrastructures such as AWS, Google, etc... while supporting traditional enterprises that wish to benefit from blockchain technologies and its tools. A true bridge between Blockchain and Cloud.
We saw Binance go offline recently because of an AWS outage. That shows the risk of hosting with a single provider for a region.
Validator networks are doing the same and that is because these hyperscalers provide great convenience.
But we're doing it differently. After spending 20+ years building datacentre and cloud networks, we're fully aware of the redundancy required within a network.
We are therefore making sure our validators (100 in total), will host a H/A dedicated server in one of 10-15 different service provider environments that we have recommended. These will be in different countries, to provide us with the global distributtion and in different branded service facilitied to provide the redundancy
問題8：When will the coin exchange be held on binancezh ？
If you know CZ, please give him my number so that we can speak direct
We are talking to a lot of exchanges. It's a very competitive landscape for listing on the big ones like Binance and Huobi because of the Defi focus, but we will get there!
問題9：Hi Peter, it has been said that computing resources will be one of the most promising area governments or counties looking forward, will CUDOS group have plans or opportunities to provide applications or utilities in citizens daily life?
Governments are usually the slowest to move (in the west anyway), because they are huge institutions in the public eye and there is a lot of red tape. The innovators and startups always move fast and that's what makes this industry so exciting.
But over time, enterprise adoption followed by public services will transition. We're at the start of the journey and you can see that even though enterprise/governments haven't yet moved, they are all trialling blockchain for the many benefits it provides.
