Blockcast is building a blockchain-based CDN that combines broadcast data-transfer techniques with Solana’s infrastructure to alleviate growing internet-traffic bottlenecks. The network is now running a six-month “Proof of Resources Epoch,” during which operators can launch lightweight Beacon nodes in Docker containers and earn rewards proportionate to uptime, outbound bandwidth, and hardware performance. High-performing node operators will receive special NFTs, while all participants accrue points that can later convert into a token drop at the project’s token-generation event (TGE). Node setup is intentionally lightweight, requiring only basic Linux hardware and a multicast-compatible IP for bonus points. A web dashboard lets operators register nodes, monitor health status, and track rewards, with the first connection test after six hours and initial payouts after 24 hours of continuous operation. To fund development, Blockcast has secured a $2.85 million seed round. No revenue or user figures have been disclosed, underscoring the project’s early-stage status.
