BonusCloud is dedicated to building a decentralized, trustworthy, global infrastructure platform that combines blockchain and cloud computing technologies, and fosters an open sharing ecosystem based on this. It aims to connect and utilize various resources with computing capabilities, converting them into digital asset values, empowering DApp entrepreneurs in the digital economy era with blockchain applications. BxC is the token of the BonusCloud platform, used to reward node resource contributors. Moreover, users can purchase resources through BxC.

Project Prospects

BonusCloud, Bonan Cloud, aims to construct a global computing power trading platform, changing the traditional centralized cloud computing business model and resource distribution structure, gathering the strength of platform resource contributors, platform users, and application developers, to provide a super trustworthy, auditable, low-cost, large-scale cloud computing platform.
The latest official news from BonusCloud reveals that LinkVC, Consensus Lab, Hunter Capital, and Spark Capital have made strategic investments in BonusCloud. Previously, BonusCloud also reached strategic cooperation with HuobiEco, iTechClub, and three other well-known funds and institutions. BonusCloud aims to construct a globalized computing power trading platform, changing the traditional centralized cloud computing business model and resource distribution structure.
From the beginning of this year, a new round of capital winter has started. Under the shortage of funds, investors wallets are tightening, and investment behaviors by various funds and institutions are becoming more cautious. Analyzing these startups that attract investment institutions to bet against the backdrop of the capital winter, it can be found that they are innovators in certain fields, with obvious advantages in technology, models, etc.
We can also see these advantages that attract investment institutions in BonusCloud. From a technical perspective, the core team of BonusCloud are veterans who have been deeply involved in the cloud computing industry for many years, with almost no rivals in the decentralized cloud computing industry. In terms of the model, BonusCloud has a clear business model, fundamentally distinguishing it from current startups that rely on PPTs to "persuade" investors.
In fact, during the capital winter period, it is often a reshuffle period for some industries. Industry-leading companies supported by investment institutions with capital and resources will widen the gap with other companies at a faster speed. From this perspective, for companies with solid strength, the worst time may also be the best opportunity.

Application Scenarios

1. Performance Monitoring and Stress Testing
A large-scale monitoring test network composed of agent applications distributed on edge computing nodes provides enterprise-level customers with application performance monitoring, network performance monitoring, and the ability to perform APP and Web stress tests on nodes with independent public IP addresses.
2. P2P Computing and Cloud Storage
An on-demand and elastic content/storage/application distributed architecture, which we call CDN-as-a-Service, enables users voluntarily connecting edge computing node devices to share idle residual computing power, provide storage resources, and network bandwidth to serve media content sharing and distributed encrypted file storage, receiving quantifiable benefits.
3. VPN Edge Access
Users run client applications compatible with heterogeneous platforms on voluntarily connected edge nodes, which connect to the cloud for encrypted communications, functioning as CPE devices in SD-WAN. High-bandwidth users can share bandwidth as super nodes and form clusters.
4. IoT Data Aggregation Analysis
Traditional cloud computing models can issue computing instructions, and the centralized backend completes the calculations and responds with results, satisfying most application scenarios. However, for real-time response applications requiring millisecond-level responsiveness, if following the existing cloud computing model, transferring data through networks with unpredictable latency, jitter, and distance to clouds thousands of kilometers away, completing calculations, and returning results, would clearly fail to meet the demands of real-time computing applications. At this point, if the network, computing, storage, applications, and data close to the device end or data source are integrated, taking edge proximity computing and responding in real-time, edge computing applications use the processing capabilities of IoT devices to filter, preprocess, aggregate, or score IoT data, and leverage the powerful computing capabilities and flexibility of the cloud for complex analysis of this data.
5. Public Chain Hosting
Public chains of blockchain require deployment on decentralized distributed platforms (such as BTC, ETH), which is the original formation model of blockchain. Currently, there is no decentralized platform that can support the deployment and operation of public chains. Based on the current market situation, many companies and teams working on public chains face this problem, with some attempting to solve it by self-distributing devices. This deployment model undoubtedly increases the investment and operational costs of public chains. A decentralized cloud computing platform can effectively address the demand for distributed deployment and operation of public chains. Current and future Dapps will also face similar problems.

Consensus Algorithm

BonusCloud employs a hybrid consensus algorithm of DPoS + PBFT. Accountants are periodically elected by workers based on contribution values, which are calculated based on a series of factors (provided computing power, network bandwidth capability, transmitted data volume, data storage capacity, data storage time, node health status, etc.), and once they become accountants, some factor values are reset to encourage continued service provision to application users in the next cycle. Accountants must deposit a certain amount of stake as collateral, which is refunded after they cease being accountants. If proven malicious, their collateral is deducted and returned to the community. After the election of accountants is completed, the current list of accountants is randomly ordered (ensuring that the order of accountants in each round is different and cannot predict the order of accountants in the next round), then each accountant creates a block in turn. If an accountant obtains accounting rights but is not online, the accounting rights are transferred to the next accountant in order, without deducting collateral or gaining accounting rights, but reducing relevant factor values for the next election.
