Gladius, an ancient Roman soldier's sword, is proposing a decentralized solution to combat DDoS attacks that have become very common. Gladius plans to defeat DDoS attacks by allowing users to connect to protection pools nearby that will allow for better protection and speed up the website at the same time. Gladius claims that their technology gives anyone the ability to increase the security and speed of their website. Anyone is able to participate in security of the network and Gladius will reward users for their computer's spare hardware and bandwith when they are connected to the network.
Gladius has a calculator available here to estimate how much money you could make by contributing to the security of the Gladius network: https://gladius.io/#calculator How much you earn will depend on your internet upload speed, the time you are connected to the network, etc.
Gladius will allow users to set up a node and track their profits from the Gladius desktop client. Any company that signs up for Gladius will be able to track attempted attacks and bandwith use. Gladius also looks to have a strong team and is definitely attempting to solve a huge problem. DDos attacks are a very big problem facing websites these days and on their website they estimate that there have been at least 300,000 attacks this year totaling $150 Billion dollars in damage. Gladius also looks like they have a strong team and they have been featured in the press numerous times. Gladius hasn't launched their platform yet, but they are providing updates regularly on Twitter and they are close to launching.
From an investment standpoint Gladius also looks like a great opportunity. Currently Gladius has a marketcap of 1.9 million a total supply of 16.8 million and a price of just $0.13.
