👉 Donor computing is a model of funding where individuals or organizations, known as donors, contribute their computing resources—such as processing power, memory, and storage—to a platform or project in exchange for various benefits. These benefits can range from direct financial rewards, like cryptocurrency or gift cards, to more indirect advantages such as increased visibility, enhanced reputation, or access to exclusive content. The platform manages the allocation of these resources efficiently, ensuring that projects receive the necessary computing power to function optimally. This model democratizes access to high-performance computing resources, enabling a wide array of projects, from research and development to educational initiatives, to thrive without the need for significant upfront investment in expensive hardware.
