FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Shenzhen Labs is a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) that aggregates consumer hardware, edge micro-servers, and high-performance GPU clusters into a unified virtualization grid. Operators contribute compute availability to verify zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs and AI workloads, receiving programmatic network rewards in return.

No. The Shenzhen Labs daemon (node.sh) operates as an asynchronous background service utilizing idle compute threads. It consumes less than 1% CPU on idle cycles and only transmits encrypted heartbeat telemetry (less than 5 MB of bandwidth per day), ensuring zero interference with your daily workstation tasks.

The network supports 4 hardware tiers:
• Tier 1 (Edge SBC): Raspberry Pi 4/5 or ARM64 micro-server (4 Cores, 4GB RAM).
• Tier 2 (Workstation): Standard macOS, Linux, or Windows PC (8 Cores, 16GB RAM).
• Tier 3 (Dedicated Server): Cloud VPS or Bare Metal server (16 Cores, 32GB RAM).
• Tier 4 (GPU Prover): NVIDIA CUDA (RTX 3060+) or Apple Metal M-Series chips for high-multiplier zk-STARK proving.

Absolutely not. The node software runs in an isolated sandboxed daemon environment. It has zero access to your file system, browser cache, personal identity, or sensitive network traffic. All communications use NIST post-quantum end-to-end encryption (Kyber-1024) directly to our sovereign gateway hubs.

Simply launch the official Telegram bot (@ShenzhenLabsBot) and tap "Start". You will instantly receive 100 SZL tokens as a welcome bonus credited directly to your decentralized account balance without requiring any upfront payment.

Inside the bot, tap the "Invite Friends" section to retrieve your unique community link. For every friend who joins and registers through your link, you automatically receive 500 SZL tokens. There is no limit on the number of friends you can refer.

Every 24 hours, users can open the Telegram bot interface and tap the "Daily Mining" button to claim 100 SZL tokens. This ensures active community engagement and continuous proof-of-humanity verification ahead of the 2029 mainnet genesis.

No. Telegram token mining is cloud-coordinated. Once you tap the claim button, your reward cycle is locked in and your tokens are safely recorded on the testnet ledger. You do not need to keep the app open or drain your mobile battery.

The 15 USDT ID activation is a one-time gateway fee that binds your cryptographic node address to the global mesh. 100% of the 15 USDT is distributed transparently to the community:
• $10 USDT (66.7%): Distributed instantly to your direct sponsor as Referral Income.
• $5 USDT (33.3%): Distributed across 10 network depth levels ($0.50 USDT per level) to support multi-tier community expansion.

Active participants unlock 4 distinct earning mechanisms:
1. Direct Referral Income: $10 USDT instant bonus on every personal direct referral activation.
2. Depth Income: $0.50 USDT per node across 10 network levels (10X team duplication capacity up to $5,555,555 USDT).
3. Cluster Income: $12.50 Referral + $12.50 Upline matching distributed every $250 cycle / $25 upgrade.
4. Universal Matrix Income: Algorithmic 11-tier auto-upgrade matrix delivering up to $97,260 USDT in cumulative automated rewards.

According to protocol specification (Slide 14):
• 100% Full Withdrawal: Unlocked when Level 1 (3 direct members) and Level 2 (9 team members) are fully complete.
• 20% Partial Withdrawal: Applies from Level 3 onwards if team completion criteria are not yet fulfilled. The remaining 80% automatically re-invests into the $50 auto-pool and $14 level distribution to compound your long-term earnings.

Protocol governance terms (Slide 15):
• External USDT Withdrawal: A standard 10% network gas fee applies on external wallet withdrawals (processed on TRC20 / BEP20 networks).
• Internal P2P Transfer: A reduced 5% protocol transfer fee applies when moving balances between Shenzhen Labs account IDs.

The native SZL token has a fixed hard cap of 10,000,000,000 (10 Billion) tokens:
• 40% (4 Billion): DePIN Hardware Validator & Mining Emissions.
• 25% (2.5 Billion): Genesis TGE & Tier-1 Public Liquidity Pools.
• 20% (2 Billion): Cryptography Research, ZK Prover Toolchains & Ecosystem Grants.
• 15% (1.5 Billion): Foundation Treasury & Strategic Governance Reserves.

Unlike short-lived meme tokens, Shenzhen Labs is constructing institutional infrastructure. A 4-year multi-phase testnet ensures verified hardware reliability, zero-knowledge mathematical correctness, and real enterprise utility before opening public spot trading on Tier-1 global exchanges in 2029.

Shenzhen Labs is aligning with 9 global Tier-1 spot and derivative liquidity partners (Slide 07): Binance, OKX, Bybit, Coinbase, Gate.io, MEXC, KuCoin, Bitget, and BingX for simultaneous multi-market genesis deployment.

In Q4 2028, a cryptographic snapshot of all verified Telegram airdrops, referral bonuses, and hardware node uptime logs will be anchored to the genesis ledger. At TGE in Q1 2029, participants will claim their mainnet SZL tokens directly to their non-custodial Web3 wallets at a 1:1 verified ratio.
