Key Takeaways

• Gradient Network is a decentralized computing platform built on the Solana blockchain.

• The project’s vision is to make compute inclusive, accessible, and affordable for all. They strongly believe that edge computing will lead the way in this transformation.

• Gradient Network is backed by Multicoin Capital, Pantera Capital, and Chinese venture capital firm HongShan.

What Is Gradient Network?

Gradient Network is a blockchain-based platform that aims to revolutionize how computing resources are distributed and accessed. It is essentially a decentralized network of interconnected devices that can share their computational power, creating a global supercomputer.

The project is pioneering decentralized edge computing with an advanced architecture built on three key layers: the Pervasive Connectivity Layer for global communication, the Homogenized Computation Layer unifying diverse compute resources, and the Adaptive Orchestration Layer managing compute demands with precision.

Backed by leading investors like Multicoin Capital, Pantera Capital, and Chinese venture capital HongShan, the project pushes innovation in AI inference, content delivery, and serverless functions, setting a new standard for decentralized compute infrastructure.

How To Qualify For An Airdrop?

Similar to the Grass airdrop, Gradient Network lets you earn points by sharing your unused internet bandwidth whilst protecting your data.

To join:

👉 STEP 1: Head over to https://app.gradient.network/ and create an account.

👉 STEP 2: Download the Gradient Sentry Node from the Chrome Web Store.

👉 STEP 3: You will start earning points as long as your device is connected to the internet.

👉 STEP 4: Keep an eye on official announcements and hope for the best!

Gradient Network Season 1

Gadient Network’s Sentry Node Season 0 has finally ended, and will move on to Season 1.

As previously announced, Gradient Network has 3 Phases. Season 0 started on September 12th, 2024, which means it has been running for 7 months.

The following seasons are expected to be shorter, about 3-5 months.

Season 1 starts on April 15th, 2025, and will introduce an improved reward system:

👉 More points per successful Tap (1 Tap = 10 points).

👉 Daily limit on Tap rewards to promote quality over quantity (capped at 120 points per day).

👉 Uptime rewards will be phased out later, shifting the focus to creating network insights.

👉 Internal security upgrades.

Author’s Notes

• Don’t forget to update the Gradient extension and keep farming for the upcoming airdrop.
• Do not attempt to create multiple accounts and cheat the system. The Gradient Network team is actively banning people who are mass-creating accounts.
