PolySwarm Launches Token Rewards for Web Surfing
The NectarNet browser plugin rewards browsing with PolySwarm’s Nectar (NCT) Token
SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#blockchain— PolySwarm, a cybersecurity provider that uses blockchain technology to crowdsource threat intelligence for enterprise customers such as Microsoft, Verizon and eBay, today announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind malware intelligence gathering browser plugin. The plugin rewards individuals for the data they provide by simply browsing the Internet. The new offer invites individuals to install the “NectarNet” browser plugin to start earning PolySwarm’s Nectar (NCT) token. NectarNet securely shares data with PolySwarm, creating a collective defense worldwide to combat malware.
“At PolySwarm, we believe it’s time to reward individuals for the data they generate from just surfing the Internet,” said Steve Bassi, CEO of PolySwarm. “Through the launch of our new NectarNet browser plugin, we are achieving this goal and strengthening Internet security by providing tangible monetary value in the form of NCT tokens to everyday Internet users and real-time threat intelligence to our enterprise customers.”
The marketplace is powered by PolySwarm’s token, Nectar (NCT), which operates on the Ethereum blockchain. The NCT token is available in the US and listed on Coinbase. The browser plug-in inserts NCT tokens into the user’s NectarNet wallet as they browse the Internet, and passively sends URL and domain data to the PolySwarm threat marketplace to be scanned by engines from leading cybersecurity vendors such as CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. The amount of NCT rewards is based on the daily $NCT pool in the marketplace and the relevance of the data provided by the user.
“As a NectarNet beta tester, we added the NectarNet extension about a month ago, we’ve had a very good experience with PolySwarm. We receive NCT token rewards every day our users work on their computers, and it requires no maintenance once configured.” said NectarNet beta user and fintech general manager Andrew Nifield. “PolySwarm has achieved an incredible milestone in unifying a historically fragmented threat intelligence industry, thereby democratizing cybersecurity by directly rewarding users for their data.”
