GLADIUS: THE NEXT BIG THIG
Every day, millions of online businesses lose potential users or customers due to poor user experiences. According to data from Google and Kissmetrics, an average user will only wait around 3 seconds before deciding to leave a website. Users require the next page to load to search for what’s next and what to click on. They require the prompt just around the loading screen to see the great yellow button that seems to command them to buy. They require their favorite social media site to load as soon as physically possible to connect with their peers in the incessant need for human contact.
And now that will know Crypto is taking over the world today, There is urgent need for solution. Many ICO's have come up but thanks to GLADIUS that came up with a great idea.
A DDoS attack can be costly and debilitating for any business. While some believe that only big companies are at risk, 50% of all websites will fall victim to a denial of service attack. It is integral that all online organizations have some solution in place to protect against the worst.
DDoS attacks have cost millions for household names like Twitter, BBC, and Netflix. A DDoS attack can reportedly cost companies between $100,000 and $250,000 per hour. And for a major business that relies on online traffic for revenue, DDoS mitigation solutions could cost tens of millions just to fight back once the attacks are underway.
Making the Distributed Denial of Services or DDoS run effectively, you don’t need an expert hacker. Event a non-experience teenager can easily harm the server resources. According to the recent report of securelist.com, in the second quarter of 2017 DDoS attacks being more and more frequently used as a tool for political struggle. The Qatar crisis was accompanied by an attack on the website of Al Jazeera, the largest news network in the area, Le Monde and Le Figaro websites were targeted in the heat of the presidential election in France, and in Great Britain they recalled a year-old incident with the Brexit voter registration website where some citizens were excluded from the referendum because of the continuous attacks on the website.
WHAT IS GLADIUS
Gladius is a decentralized solution to protect against DDoS attacks by letting you connect to a pool of protection near you to provide better protection and speed up your content. With an easy-to-use interface and great insight tools, Gladius allows one to protect and speed up their site.
MISSION
At Gladius, we have made it our mission to harness the power of decentralization in optimizing network traffic for the speed and robustness of DDoS attacks. Our platform is the next step in the evolution of website optimization and protection services.
AIM
Gladius's goal is to create a fully decentralized and peer-to-peer network to connect the world's unused bandwidth to websites looking for DDoS protection and accelerated content delivery. Anyone with a computer can download Gladius peer clients and run them in the background to lease their unused bandwidth and get Gladius Tokens (GLA) in the process. Large pools with hundreds, if not thousands, nodes can then handle a continuous stream of requests to validate website connections and block malicious activity while improving loading time via a decentralized CDN.
Features of Gladius
- Gladius plans to allow folks to leverage their Internet connections when they would not normally be heavily used. By leveraging the blockchain,
- Gladiuseliminates the middle man between bandwidth providers and those needing it, and eliminates the need to buy bandwidth other than during an actual attack — so, businesses buy only the bandwidth that they actually need. Web site owners could also use the system to accelerate the delivery of content — as computers all over the world could function effectively as remote deliverers of cached data (in what would technically be known as a Content Delivery Network or CDN).
- Payments on Gladius are done with its own cryptocurrency GLA.
The future looks bright for everyone involved in the blockchain who are interested in earning a passive income. With Gladius you can now rent out your spare bandwidth to companies in exchange for GLA, the Cryptocurrency which is used within the Gladius network.With the application of bandwidth sharing it improves the speed and quality of connections between sites whilst also contributing to network protection. It’s described as a connection of nodes. With a connection between thousands of connected nodes, all renting out their spare bandwidth, provides superior connectivity and also faster loading times.Anyone looking to sell their spare bandwidth can do so via any Linux, Windows, or MacOS machine.
Gladius automatically runs in the background, without causing undue stress to your computer.As an ICO Gladius has real promise. DDos attacks are costing companies Billions of dollars every year. By using the blockchain, Gladius has created a solid solution to combat the threat whilst bringing real value to their community.
The limited private pre-sale of Gladius token (GLA) is live.The ICO will be starts in November 1st at 02.00 (UTC) and will ends in by the end of November 2017.

To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
