The goal is to form a positive feedback computing power market and create a self-motivating grid computing ecological platform.
(1) Using blockchain technology, based on an innovative POSTT (Proof of Space Time and Transaction) consensus algorithm, build a two-layer consensus deployment architecture of “multi-chain proxy, intelligent device nodes”, relying on IOT technology, to create the most extensive network of online computers, mobile devices, smart homes and form a decentralized shared computing resource pool market.
(2) Efficient and secure consensus through smart contracts. Exodus shared computing power resource pool provides high-concurrency computing power for on-demand applications. It provides on-demand allocation, transparent settlement, and resource price customization that does not require third-party intermediaries. Ideal for smart manufacturing, augmented reality, film and television animation, artificial intelligence, big data, scientific computing and other cutting-edge industries.
(3) After the design of Exodus’s underlying architecture, consensus algorithms and smart home nodes is completed, the concept of the intelligent computing planet (Exo-Planet) will be built. Under the two-layer consensus and multi-chain architecture, smart appliances, sweeping robots, smart routers, mobile phones, servers, and cloud storage nodes can all become consensus nodes to contribute computing power to Exo-Planet. By allocating tasks to idle GPUs and CPUs, and use tokens as a settlement method, they can provide valuable services to many industries.
Exodus provides a huge market for computing resources, and its matching engine will provide a steady stream of computing power for users with actual needs in the market. Through the computing power matching platform and computing power market, applications and users can rent computing services at low cost and efficiency.
Exodus computing power comes from the following types of equipment:
CPU, GPU, RAM
Traditional blockchain mining equipment
Mobile devices (e.g. mobile phones, tablets)
Smart home appliances with CPU and computing power (such as smart refrigerator, smart air conditioner)
We include mobile devices and smart home devices as a source of computing power. Mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets computers have basically become popular in today’s world. The proportion of people using personal computers to access the Internet is gradually decreasing. The usage rates of desktops and notebooks are 55% and 35.5 %. In other words, the idle state of equipment resources owned by individuals is very common. With the advent of the era of 5G and the IoT, smart manufacturing products will become more and more popular. Exodus hopes to use the advantages of blockchain technology to revitalize the most extensive computing resources, thereby forming a larger computing resource pool.
Developers can use the Exodus SDK program to access many different applications in a decentralized-platform manner.
AR / VR, film and animation rendering are Exodus’ first SDK. Exodus will be applied to more application scenarios in the future, including:
Enhanced virtual image
Big data analysis
Automatic volume trading system testing and optimization
Meshed 5G network and WiFi
Distributed retrieval
Artificial intelligence
Calculation of viral gene sequences
Rocket and satellite orbit calculations
Weather system simulation
POSTT consensus algorithm
Exodus uses the POSTT consensus algorithm. Postt is Proof of Space Time Transaction. This algorithm is a consensus algorithm based on space resources (CPU, GPU, RAM), time, and transactions. It can support Exodus’s computing power market architecture and double-layer node deployment to provide block generation, while taking into account the lack of computing power of smart devices.
From the perspective of consensus structure, Exodus is a multi-chain proxy joint grid structure, maintained by distributed decentralized proxy proxy nodes and intelligent nodes around the world. In the entire blockchain grid, different intelligent nodes form a large resource pool through agents using standard protocols. Under the transparent control of smart contracts, the resource pool provides perpetual computing traffic for the application layer.
In the POSTT consensus, there are two nodes, a proxy node and a smart node. The proxy node is used to verify the packaged block, forward multi-chain data packets, and cross-chain processing. The proxy node can be a server, a mining pool, or a mine. Smart nodes are used to nominate and supervise proxy nodes. Smart appliances, 5G modules, and mobile devices are one type of smart node.
In the future, we hope that those ecological smart devices with edge computing capabilities will provide faster, more scalable, and more private computing resources through Exodus’ cross-platform, low-power and intelligent scheduling technology for node-to-node access. With the help of the Exodus token incentive mechanism, smart devices will be urged to actively contribute idle computing power and storage, thereby activating global trillion-scale smart devices to join, and finally providing huge computing power pools for various application scenarios of Exodus.
POSTT is a new hybrid consensus mechanism. POSTT uses a relatively equal principle to select nodes, which can attract more users to start staking, thereby forming a more secure ecology. At the same time, the number of votes is averaged to each node, so nodes like EOS super nodes can be avoided. The emergence of oligarchs is more conducive to ecological decentralization.
Proxy nodes and smart nodes. The proxy node is responsible for verifying and producing new blocks, just like the mining pool in POW. The proxy node should provide a sufficient deposit. A part of the deposit of the proxy node is not owned by them, but belongs to the smart node nominee.
In addition to nominations, smart nodes assume the role of supervising the ecology and will punish proxy nodes that fail to perform their duties.

Use Cases
Use Case 01
Exodus Project is considering running both POSTT project and Use Case business using the Exodus platform).
Exodus Project is considering running both POSTT project and Use Case（business using the Exodus platform). Use Case①, considering providing solutions for the housing industry (interior designer 2.0 tentative name). Using interior designer, general users can check a 3D or VR image of property they are considering buying or renting. Exodus coordinates the use of the Exodus Network for rendering required for making 3D image or VR image. General users can check property image and can see realistic image by setting up registered furniture and accessories on DB. Items used for making images are available to purchase from supplier, or a price estimate can be requested online. Using interior designer, professional designers or companies can provide 3D image or VR image as a service for clients. Professional designers or companies are charged a fee for rendering required for making 3D images or VR images. Property information service companies are charged a property registration fee for Exodus Network database. When the products are sold through interior designer, Furniture・Accessory Manufacturers and Distributors are charged a commission fee (XX% of sales price of products) to Exodus Network, or pay a one-time fixed amount DB registration fee.
For registering products to DB, Furniture・Accessory Manufacturers and Distributors can make their own 3D modeling of furniture and accessories based on their specification, or order the 3D modeling from Exodus Network. In the latter case, Furniture・Accessory Manufacturers and Distributors are charged a 3D modeling fee.
Use Case 02
Exodus Project is considering running both POSTT project and Use Case business using the Exodus platform).
Exodus Project is considering running both POSTT project and Use Case（business using the Exodus platform). Use Case②, considering a service to support back testing and optimization of automatic trading on a distributed network. There is a similar service, MQL5 Cloud Network「Meta Trader 5 Strategy Tester Agent」 for the MQL5 Community provided by MetaQuotes Software. This system only provides MT5 and cannot use MT4 which has a much higher market share. Because of this, Exodus is considering building the strategy tester and optimizer system on an MT4 capable database.
Eco System
VR and AR Technology are making impressive progress, but the technology is not being used effectively. One of the main reasons is the cost associated with rendering. Trying to prepare a rendering machine on your own requires an expensive computer. Even trying to use cloud system, large corporations like Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM, with enormous wealth and financial clout are providing relatively expensive computing systems considering the size of the market. For example, Amazon cloud computing makes cumulative sales of about ten billion US dollars, with a 25% profit rate, which ensures a large margin. This is the first problem Exodus will solve by providing a low-cost rendering system.
