Interview with Gladius CEO - Decentralized Anti DDoS Network

in ethereum •  7 years ago 

I wrote about Gladius some time ago here and got loads of questions about this ICO. So i went to Telegram, found their CEO and dropped him questions that will possibly make it clearer how this is going to work and how you can profit just from running their app. Lets test me doing a short to-the-point interview.

1. We already know the idea but try to put them in most simple words yet with little bit of technical explanation. We understand the problem of Ddos and CDN just explain how this will work from side of buyer and seller.

From the buyer side you will go to the Gladius client web app and from there you can purchase pool services using Gladius tokens. Once they have done that they will need to change their domain's DNS records to point to the pool's name servers.

On the seller side, the configuration will be a little more challenging, and it will require tokens to list in the marketplace to prove interest

2. So a person will be installing an app, they will choose how much bandwidth to sell and keep it running in the background? Will the rates per 1k/b will be fixed or companies will bid to get best and fastest resources?
Will the app be also wallet or person will need to understand how ETH ecosystem work ?

The node will be payed depending on what pool they are a part of, and rates are set by that pool. The app will be two parts, a service that works as the node, and a web interface that works with metamask or some other injected web3.

3. How can you be sure theres enough people with enough speed in crucial places? Will you also share some of your servers for it at least initially ?

To begin we will run VPSs to create a functional network, and likely create bonuses for people in geographically desirable areas.

4. How decentralized will thesystem be, what if Gladius website/system goes down ? Will ETH contract be smart enough to keep running the network ?

The application could be run offline in true dapp fashion, we're just serving it.

5. Who does your code audit? With latest hacks in in Parity it seems crucial to have code verified properly.

We have had SmartDEC and Hosho both audit our contracts

6. Do you think in future you may move to another smart-contract system like EOS, QTUM or maybe create own fork just with options Gladius needs?

We have no plans in the works to do that

7. Do you already have clients who may be interested or you will be looking for them after ICO ending. Or maybe you tested it on somebody already ?

We have three partners/clients already, and will continue to search after the ICO

sounds interesting. I may be interested in the selling portion. I wonder if this or decentralized vpn service would be more profitable.

I'm wondering if this is another format with cryptocurrency involved, and maybe I'll try it out

You are true says .thanks

Gah, great stuff. Though I must say, thanks to the ICO craze of the summer, I'm split a bit too thin to venture into anything else.

This sounds like it is something like what CloudFlare currently offers but it will be on a blockchain instead?

An alternative is always good. It provides some competition to keep them pushing forward. I'm sure CloudFlare is all good, but I'm always directed there when the kraken.com website failes to load, which is very often, leading me to subconciously dislike CloudFlare. It's stupid, I know, but my subconciousness believes what it wants to believe.

It's good they are trying.
But the reality is none of the decentralized exchanges are a successfull one

its good...very informative...keep it up image
hope you like the scenery..
its ABC. i.e Annapurna Base Camp
any body heard of it or have been there

Nice to read your post thanks for this ppost like a gift

Good one, I never knew you had an interview with @blocktrades.Am following now, so I'll not miss any other interview. Thanks alot

Good one. I saw that the public pre-sale starts from Nov 24th, would we be getting updates from you before that day, or do we need to go to their site to get updates?

Ahha hey @kingscrown dear the information you posted something special for me as I was so much worried about the ddos attack and finally someone invented the cures really awesome and thank you for your efforts bring something special I think very special for me.

Interview seems good... I saw their RoadMap... The first official public release of the network will be on August 2018.. isnt it too much long time for public release...?

Really informative. I like getting posts like this. Finding new coins to invest.

Interesting concept but not sure if is viable a the moment.

What will be price for one token? Also tell us what will be the minimum position we can participate.

Interesting idea..will this somehow compromise privacy? Best wishes, - @splendohub

What it's mean?

Sounds interesting.

I don't quite understand how this will be any better than currently available centralized services or DDoS software.

For once, I can't really understand how the blockchain would benefit this type of service. First time this has happened to me. Haha.

Yeah, what is the difference between this and say a service like CloudFlare?

I like this post . thanks @kingscrown

That is exactly what we needed, an interview with the CEO, thank youyou @kingscrown.

Nice

an interesting post could interest me for the future.

what exactly did you find interesting for yourself?

The ability to move to other smart contract system would be crucial IMHO. Ethereum may be vulnerable and that would kill way too many ERC20 tokens.
