At first, MyShield will focus on the cryptocurrency industry, which is flooded with phishing, fraud, brandjacking, etc. MyShield will provide users alerts against scams and Crypto-transaction validations. The MyShield model is based on two sources of intelligence – reports on potential scam by users of MyShield shared with the community, and providers of AI powered cyber-intelligence. The information from both sources will be recorded on the MyShield blockchain, which will be launched on an existing blockchain and will be used as the source for the alerts and validations. The MyShield decentralized platform includes bounties created by MyShield and by companies, organizations and users in order to incentivize members of the community to report potential scams.
