This would be facilitated by exchanges, so not to us. Founder have their portion of the tokens locked for the next 18 months, so that will not be sold off.

Currently we are in the process of on-boarding several DNS experts over the next few weeks who have over 20 years of industry experience, and on our advisory board we have two very experienced developers already. The salaries for experts are budgeted, but for privacy reasons we don't want to discuss those in an open forum.

Alex Godwin speaking here, and yes we are on the young side of things. However, this is why have surrounded ourselves with great people in the industry. We currently have marketing, legal, accounting, as well as technical advice all at our disposal. This along with our future hiring plans means we will have a very experienced team.

We use blockchain primarily as a communication, marketplace, and payment system. The actual protection and CDN works in a very similar way as traditional systems, with the added ability to have nodes anywhere on earth. Because the resources are payed up front (hardware and bandwidth) by the nodes, the overall cost is lowered for a potential customer.

So a token is the only way you can actually purchase our services. We do this because it lets us create a currency free from any outwardly volatility. Doing this detaches Gladius from direct ties of Bitcoin or Ethereum. It also allows us to predictable manage and model the financial ecosystem. So as our platform grows and more websites buy our services, the value of the coin increases.

However, we are in the talks of ways to actually let businesses directly buy GLA with fiat and fill their account under the hood.

To answer that: anyone can use a Gladius pool ton protect themselves, as a website owner implementing it would be no different than any other service. Blockchain is used as a payment as well as a decentralized marketplace of pools. Whenever any communication happens on the blockchain, it is encrypted so it is unreadable to anyone but the recipient.

To implement it as a pool there is nothing more than a few configuration steps and installing the software

Thanks! Jeremy has been a great help so far, and we're excited to see what the future holds. 

Dependent on funding, we will be adding features like Web Application Firewalls, custom page rules, Rate Limiting, and Auto-SSL which would provide more security than a website on its own. In addition to sites getting better security, they will also have improved load times as well. The best of both worlds!

The Gladius token will be the core of the ecosystem. Websites will use it to pay for CDN and DDoS protection services. And nodes will earn these tokens and be able to sell them back. So it's anything but a token for trading.
