Resource Valuation Factors: Dynamic Adjustment Model

Resource Valuation Factors: Dynamic Adjustment Model

Swarm’s Resource Valuation Model dynamically adjusts resource pricing based on key factors influencing demand and supply. These adjustments ensure fairness, efficiency, and responsiveness to market conditions and network requirements.

---

Factor	Influence	Adjustment Frequency	Description
Network Load	High	Real-time	Prices increase during periods of high network activity to incentivize resource availability and reduce congestion.
Resource Type	Medium	Dynamic	Different resources (e.g., GPUs, storage, bandwidth) are priced based on their utility and current market demand.
Geographic Location	Medium	Market-based	Resources in high-demand or underserved regions command premium pricing to encourage geographic expansion.
Time of Day	Variable	Hourly	Prices adjust to reflect usage patterns, with lower rates during off-peak hours and higher rates during peak demand.

Factor Descriptions

1. Network Load:

   • Impact: Critical for balancing demand and maintaining network efficiency.

   • Adjustment Mechanism:

     • Real-time monitoring of workload intensity dynamically adjusts pricing to manage resource allocation.

2. Resource Type:

   • Impact: Ensures that high-demand resources are fairly priced relative to their availability.

   • Adjustment Mechanism:

     • Prices vary based on the current and historical utilization of resource categories such as compute, storage, and network bandwidth.

3. Geographic Location:

   • Impact: Encourages resource distribution to underserved regions, enhancing global network accessibility.

   • Adjustment Mechanism:

     • Market-based analysis identifies high-demand locations and applies pricing premiums accordingly.

4. Time of Day:

   • Impact: Reflects fluctuating user demand patterns, incentivizing resource usage during off-peak hours.

   • Adjustment Mechanism:

     • Hourly updates align pricing with the network’s usage curve, optimizing resource distribution over a 24-hour period.
