I stumbled upon this Honeypod project and I won't lie, I was so amazed. Why? That's because they bring about a solution to a very serious problem that has been facing most of the Internet users especially me.
As a regular Internet user, one of our greatest fears is getting our private information leaked to third parties and most of these occurs especially if we visit a non secure website or a malicious attack site. Most of all these do occur unknowingly to us, especially with the common ‘Pop Up ADs’. The solution to this pop-ups came with the Ad-Blockers, but most of them aren't efficient enough as our data still gets leaked. This now indirectly leads to a slower internet connection as these data is being transferred without our concent. Finally, our private data will now be used for their own benefits.
This isn't fair at all, and that's where the platform called HoneyPod comes to save the day.

The HoneyPod is a monitoring system that was designed to regulate all incoming and outgoing data packets in our internet connection, if it detects any malicious or unauthorized data movement, it gets blocked.
It does this at the base level i.e the DNS level where it gets to filter all unwanted advertisements, tracking systems, third parties interferences, adware, malware and viruses, etc before it reaches any of our devices. Its mechanism is entirely different from other ad-blockers as it entirely blocks the unauthorized data from reaching its end users unlike the others.
The HoneyPod works with a small smart device that can be connected directly to our internet source. It's in the form of a plug and play device that ensures that a users internet connectivity is very secure and protected. Also it also has a software that can be installed on our mobile phones, so that we can be protected on the Go.
The HoneyPod makes use of the blockchain technology so as to offer the best services possible with the use of the Stellar Blockchain Protocol and the Byzantine Fault Tolerance algorithm. As such, it becomes very effective and fast at verifying and validating the security of the incoming and outgoing data within a users internet without affecting the speed of the internet connection.
This is comprised of the HoneyPod Blockchain, the HoneyPod Devices, the HoneyPod tokens and the users internet devices.
The HoneyPod tokes is a stellar blockchain based token that is used to ensure the swift interaction between the users and the HoneyPod service. This tokens have a ticker of HNY, and it's a tradable cryptocurrency that have a variety of usage such as security, secure online payments, incentives from advertisers to users and rewards. It can be stored in a suitable wallet where users can monitor their activities from it.
In order to generate a valid mass adoption of the HoneyPod service, daily usage of the HoneyPod hardware can generate the HNY tokens in a manner similar to mining.
HoneyPod is a very dedicated services that aims to achieve a goal of being connected to our internet as it provides complete control and security of our data. This will be made possible with numerous partnerships with different companies and services that will ensure the following;
VPN services, Data storage, Antiviruses, Online billings and payments, telecom billing services, and so on.
With the current rate of our insecure internet, phishing attacks as well as the unapproved data collection by data brokers and advertising, the coming of the HoneyPod service will tackle all this issues regarding a users internet privacy giving him complete autonomy of his data as well as an unclogged internet connection.
