D) Technical Specifications

Before 3rd of June, in order to maintain the robustness and reliability of testnet server, we will use two cloud based servers in block producing.

  • Main Server
    Intel Xeon E5-2696 v4 @ 2.20GHz
    CPU:22 vCPU core
    32GB RAM
    SSD:LOCAL PCIe 3.0
    NETWORK:1000 Mbps
    SSD:2048GB

  • Backup Server
    Intel Xeon Platinum 8173M @ 2.00GHz
    CPU:28 vCPU core
    64GB RAM
    SSD:LOCAL PCIe 3.0
    NETWORK:1000 Mbps
    SSD:2048GB

Those two servers will be based on AWS servers in the US.

Scaling plan after June 3, 2018:
After the 3rd of June, we will keep up with the rising demand of EOS, and cooperate with well-known blockchain solution providers to build bare metal server that is robust and highly scalable. The provisional hardware Specs:

  • Intel Xeon E7-8880 v4 @ 2.20GHz
    CPU:22 vCPU core
    32GB RAM
    SSD:LOCAL PCIe 3.0
    NETWORK:1000 Mbps
    SSD:2048GB

Failover
In circumstances when error occurs at nodes, the process will be switched to redundant nodes in order to maintain uninterrupted block production and to never miss a block.

Live Upgrade of Cluster
Upgrade to servers can be performed while the cluster is running live without affecting block producing process, as a result of multiple points redundancy used in our system. Machines that are upgraded will be thoroughly tested before being reconnected.

Elastic Load Management
The system supports high elasticity, as upgrades to the system that is used to deal with any potential demand surge, will not affect the operation of block producing.

Load Balacing
Load will be processed by the cluster load balancer before it is sent to processing nodes, which are dynamically assigned with weights, to maximize overall performance of the system.

D) Community Benefit Plan

We define ourselves as candidate from the community, by the community, for the community. EOS WTZ believes that, as a block producer, contributing to community benefit is a responsibility of same importance as block producing. Both WTZ Blockchain Academy and EOS WTZ are self-funded, which allow us to make decision only for community benefits.
EOS WTZ is Operated by WTZ Blockchain Academy, one of the top blockchain content producers in China. EOS WTZ has a strong community supporting team, with first hand information about concerns and demand of our community members. This is the very foundation of EOS WTZ, a block producer that comes from the community, and the reason why EOS WTZ will be successful with its community benefit projects, as listed below:

  • i. Support DApp development
    The development of DApps is crucial to the ecosystem of EOS. EOS WTZ will support DApps developers by providing funds, technical supports, and seed users.
    Fund: A token fund established by WTZ Blockchain Academy will provide funding to EOS DApps incubation, and after EOS WTZ is elected as block producer, EOS WTZ will dedicate a portion of its rewards to further help the incubation of EOS DApps.
    Technical Supports: WTZ Blockchain Academy will provide free tuturials for entry-level DApps developers. EOS WTZ also has developers with strong technical skills that will work as counselor of DApps developers.
    Seed Users: We will use our influence within community to help DApps gain seed users and help them make marketing strategy.

  • ii. Community Growing
    WTZ Blockchain Academy has built a reputation of being an EOS supporter among its Chinese audience. With millions of views of its article, WTZ Blockchain Academy has helped EOS to be more well-known and more accepted in the Chinese blockchain community. As a block producer candidate, EOS WTZ will continue to have community growth as one of its main missions.

  • iii. Community Education
    WTZ Blockchain Academy was founded with the idea of becoming the blockchain education hub. The experience of producing educational material gives EOS WTZ a strong background in community education. Our experience combined with our established channels will equip EOS community with considerable blockchain knowledge.

  • iv. Collaboration with university student organizations
    EOS WTZ will establish collaborations with student organizations in universities. Student organizations can run their own nodes on EOS WTZ testnet, and EOS WTZ will provide assistance if needed.
