Gladius is decentralized to protect against DDoS attacks

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.

DDoS attacks are becoming increasingly reality in operating a business with the internet presence. This attack can spend an incredible amount of money, not only in lost uptime, but also the loss of consumer confidence and public relations crisis. Last year's DDoS attack alone was $ 150 billion loss, while the average company can spend more than $ 5000 per month for protection from other DDoS protection services, even if they have never experienced an attack. This happens when  Most of the computing power and bandwidth in the world are unused. Gladius dreamed a future where this vast resource can be exploited to reduce attacks. (Incapsula and SecureList) By leveraging the blockchain to allow communication between computers, and a pay as you go marketplace, Gladius can facilitate the creation of the extremely fault tolerant and inexpensive pools tailored to a client’s specific needs. Asside from just filtering traffic, these pools will be able to accelerate content as well.

By decentralizing and removing the middleman, the whole nature of protecting a website will change. Buisness 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.

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 is concerned primarily with protection from DDoS attackers and the implementation of a high quality CDN.

While there are many who believe DDoS protection is only needed in very few circumstances, DDoS protection is important for any entity that has a presence on the internet. DDoS attacks have cost millions for household names like Blizzard Entertainment, the BBC, and GitHub. The average DDoS attack costs a company 2.5 million dollars.

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.

The ability to greatly, if not completely, negate DDoS attacks and the ability to create an effective and secure CDN puts the Gladius team in a unique position. The team’s goal to fully utilize blockchain technology to fight against DDoS attacks and provide a competitive CDN service. However, above all else, the Gladius team is constantly striving towards a highly competitive marketplace in order to bring any consumer the best possible service. This goal is always at the forefront of Gladius’ mission to make businesses safer and more effective.

Primary Objectives  

Phase I: Building an Initial Content Distribution and DDoS Protection Network.
 The Gladius team is aiming to create a CDN and DDoS mitigation service by using blockchain technology, distributed mining pools and smart contracts.

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.

Phase II: Develop Network to a Commercial Scale
The aim of Phase II is to finalize the network from Phase I and making it commercially viable on a large scale. This means greatly increasing the amount of data throughput to cope with a far greater demand. Additionally, Gladius node pools will be greatly improved with full vetting and rating processes and smart contracts will be expanded for discovery and identification services.

Once Phase II is complete, there will be a polished network that is ready to take on the demands of hundreds, if not thousands, of websites. Phase II also allows for the possibility of expanding pools. Each pool will be rated and validated to ensure proper performance. Additional CDN features such as static content caching will be added depending on levels of funding reached.

Token System

For our platform we 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 immediatly be available to be used on our network system we are launching prior to the public sale.

GLA will be a key component to the Gladius Network in that the token will be used by websites to buy DDoS protection and CDN services. The majority of the fees will go to the node owner (the individual renting out their spare bandwidth and storage space) with a small portion going back to protocol development and support. All fees will be denominated in GLA, which is subject to change based on supply and demand.

The previously mentioned node owners who are part of protection pools will essentially act as miners and be incentivized with GLA for their network support. Owners will be paid for their individual work in these official mining pools. As opposed to typical blockchains, 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 token is designed so that it will likely reflect the growth of the Gladius Network. Additionally Gladius will look into commissions for node owners in currencies other than GLA.

Max Sale Issuance: 34,000,000 GLA 
Max Token Issuance: 48,200,000 GLA

Max Token Market Cap: $12,500,000
