Bihu consists of two main components: an identity system and a community for crypto investors. Bihu ID(bihu.com)is a self-sovereign ID system based on blockchain technology and decentralized storage. It aims to be the gate keeper for Web3.0, in order to protect users’ wealth, data and privacy. Bihu ID strives to be the 'KEY to Digital Liberty'. Bihu Community is an platform for crypto investors to share and obtain token-investment-related information. It will the first use case for Bihu ID. KEY is the utility token for both Bihu ID and Bihu Community. It is an ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. KEY is used to incentivize content generation within the Bihu Community, as well as the primary method for good content discovery. KEY also is the value exchange method within the Bihu Community, such as tipping between users. Since a single Bihu ID lives on multiple blockchains, it is desired that users will be able to pay KEY for generic network fees (AKA gas). KEY also acts as the generic payment method in the Bihu ID system, for instance, to recover lost IDs.
PolySwarm in 60 Seconds. Polyswarm is a decentralized threat intelligence market made possible by Ethereum smart contracts and blockchain technology. Polyswarm incentivizes rapid innovation in the $8.5B/yr anti-virus and automated cyber threat intelligence space with precise economic incentives that reward timely and accurate threat intelligence concerning the malintent of files, network traffic and URLs. PolySwarm defines a real-time threat detection ecosystem involving enterprises, consumers, vendors and geographically-diverse security experts. Experts develop and hone competing “micro-engines” that autonomously investigate the latest threats, attempting to outperform their competition. PolySwarm’s “Proof of Work” is threat detection accuracy: the market rewards experts who are best able to defend enterprises and end users. Relative to today’s ad hoc market, PolySwarm will lower the barier to entry, provide broader coverage options, discourage duplicative effort and ensure interoperability among products and threat intelligence feeds. Economically, PolySwarm functions as a skill-required twist on a prediction market2 with thousands of micro-engines (“workers”) investigating the latest in malware evolution at machine speed - no human in the loop. PolySwarm will be developed by Swarm Technologies, Inc. (“Swarm Technologies”) with funding derived from the sale of ERC20-compatible Nectar (“NCT”) utility tokens. As a utility token, PolySwarm economically disincentivizes Nectar speculation by rewarding honest market participation through the collection and distribution of Fees (details on page 6) to valueadding, active participants.
