About Gladius.io

DDoS attacks are becoming an increasing reality of operating a business with an online presence. These attacks can cost an incredible amount of money, not just in lost up-time, but also a loss in consumer trust and crisis PR. Gladius.io is the decentralized solution to protect against D Dos attacks by allowing you to connect to protection pools near you to provide better protection and accelerate your content. With an easy to use interface as well as powerful insight tools, Gladius.io enables anyone to protect and accelerate their website. By decentralizing and removing the middleman, the whole nature of protecting a website will change.

Business that previously couldn’t afford adequate protection can purchase services that perfectly fit their budget. Those paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a service they never fully utilize can start paying for only exactly what they use - and for much less. In addition, customers who are tired of paying for a high speed internet connection (that is only used for a few hours a day) can finally put that connection to good use.

The Gladius Solution

DDoS attacks are becoming an increasing reality of operating a business with an internet presence. These attacks can cost an incredible amount of money, not just in lost uptime, but also a loss of consumer trust and crisis PR. Last year alone DDoS attacks amounted to a $150 billion loss, while on average corporations can spend over $5000 a month on protection from other DDoS protection services, even if they never suffer an attack. This happens while a majority of computing power and bandwidth in the world goes unused. Gladius.io envisions a future where these vast resources can be utilized to mitigate attacks.

Gladius’ Mission

Since the dawn of the internet, the technology surrounding websites has been constantly evolving. With this new technology comes the power to enhance a business’ online presence but also harm it. Technology is truly the greatest double edged sword, however. Gladius’ mission is to negate the harm brought by new vulnerabilities and take advantage of the same style of decentralized network that attackers have long used. Gladius.io is concerned primarily with protection from DDoS attackers and the implementation of a high quality CDN.

Any business should want to increase their site speeds as well as their response times. A well done CDN can do not only that but also greatly expand a site’s reach offering unparalleled access in any corner of the globe. The massive advantage that a CDN grants to businesses is easily noticeable by the fact that the CDN market in 2015 was worth $4.95 billion dollars but is expected to more than triple by 2020 to a value of $15.73 billion dollars.

Primary Objectives

This goal will be met and these technologies will be incorporated throughout the entire course of Phase I which is made up of 3 stages (see Roadmap). Once Phase I is complete, there will be a complete and comprehensive network that is capable of handling several Gbs of connections per second and drastically improving site load times. This will include multi-level protection and a private rollout to select partnered websites.

Token System

For Gladius.io platform company will be releasing the Gladius Token, or GLA. A fixed supply of tokens will be issued during the Token Creation and no more tokens will ever be created. The tokens will immediately be available to be used on Gladius.io network system are launching prior to the public sale. The previously mentioned node owners who are part of protection pools will essentially act as miners and be incentive with GLA for their network support. Owners will be paid for their individual work in these official mining pools. As opposed to typical block-chains, mining will be rewarded for sharing bandwidth and storage space rather than computing power (proof of work), and ownership of the currency (proof of stake).

The Gladius Platform

Gladius.io goal is to create a fully decentralized, peer to peer, server-less node network to connect bandwidth and storage pools to websites looking for D Dos protection and expedited content delivery. Anyone with a computer can download and run the Gladius peer client in the background to rent out their unused bandwidth and storage space and earn Gladius Tokens (GAL). Large pools with hundreds, if not thousands, of nodes will then be able to handle a continuous stream of requests to validate website connections and block malicious activity.

Client nodes can be started up on any Linux, Windows, or MacOS machine and will automatically run in the background when you choose. Users will be part of localized verification pools. Every website request a user validates will earn them Gladius Tokens. In turn, users can sell these tokens back to websites to create an
economic cycle that promotes the growth of the Gladius.io Network.

DDoS Protection Market

It has become increasingly obvious that any business today looking to compete requires a strong internet presence. This unfortunately creates more opportunity for attacks and thus protection, like that offered from Gladius.io, is required. Research has shown that the increased vulnerability to D Dos attacks is one of the
main forces that push the growing market for internet security solutions:

Growing risk of cyber attacks: As the world becomes more connected by the internet, valuable information and services also come under greater risk of attack. D Dos attacks have become more and more common in recent years and the stakes have greatly increased. This increased threat results in the quick expansion of security solutions to deal with and prevent D Dos attacks.

Government interest: Numerous attacks to private industries and government databases in past years has brought more attention to defending government information. This has increased the demand for proper protection from D Dos attacks.
