About Airdrop
Gradient Network is building a decentralized compute platform designed to make power more accessible, affordable, and global. The project is leading a shift away from centralized cloud providers toward permissionless, edge-based computing. It combines advanced software-defined networking (SDN) with lightweight infrastructure to make compute more elastic, scalable, and cost-effective.
Today, most infrastructure relies on centralized systems. Gradient replaces this with a community-powered network where anyone can contribute to global compute resources. It’s fast, efficient, and open to everyone—no data centers or massive setups required.
The network’s first mission starts with Sentry Nodes, lightweight (<1MB/month), privacy-friendly agents that track uptime and connectivity. These nodes serve as the foundation for Pervasive Connectivity, the first phase of Gradient’s three-part rollout. Participants who run nodes, refer others, and complete tasks earn XP points through Gradient Season 1 a campaign that may lead to future token rewards.
