Introducing the Node Participation & Reward Estimator

We're excited to announce a powerful new feature for GSwarm node operators: the Node Participation & Reward Estimator! Available now in your dashboard, this interactive tool helps you forecast your node's daily participations and potential rewards—tailored to your hardware, model size, and uptime.

Why This Matters

Node operators have long asked for a way to answer the question: "What can I realistically earn with my setup?" With the rapid evolution of the Gensyn RL-Swarm, performance and rewards depend on a mix of hardware, model size, and uptime. Our new estimator brings clarity and transparency, letting you:

• Benchmark your node against real-time network averages
• Experiment with different hardware and model sizes to see their impact
• Optimize your setup for maximum rewards

How It Works

The estimator uses live network data (currently ~281 rounds per day) and community-sourced performance factors. You simply select your hardware (macOS/CPU, RTX 4090, A100, H100, etc.), model size (0.5B, 1.5B, etc.), and expected uptime. The tool then calculates:

• Estimated Daily Participations: How many rounds your node is likely to join, based on hardware speed and model size
• Estimated Daily Rewards: Projected points earned, factoring in your node's "winning" potential
• Comparison to Network Average: See how your setup stacks up

"Participations boost with better hardware; macOS/CPU achieves fewer rounds than top GPUs, but all setups can now forecast their potential."

Realistic, Data-Driven Forecasts

• macOS/CPU: Now modeled at ~32% of top hardware for participations, but with improved reward scaling
• RTX GPUs: Calibrated for realistic completion rates and rewards
• A100/H100: Top-tier nodes can reach 1100+ daily rewards with high win rates
• Model Size: Larger models (e.g., 1.5B) boost rewards for those who can run them

Try It Now

Head to your dashboard and try the estimator! Adjust your hardware, model, and uptime to see how your node could perform. Use these insights to optimize your setup or plan your next upgrade.

What's Next?

We're committed to making GSwarm the most transparent and operator-friendly platform in decentralized AI. As the network evolves, we'll keep refining the estimator with new data and features—so your forecasts stay accurate.
