maniecool: HEROIC PROJECT

In a fast paced and rapidly changing world of cryptocurrency, it is important for cryptocurrency owners, investors, analyst and everyone in the cryptocurrency space to be kept abreast of current trends, innovations and analysis. Absolute control over information is an herculean task if not nearly impossible, there is increased risk of harsh user experience in the world of cryptocurrency and a rapidly advancing technology such as blockchain.
In a world of hackers, fraudsters and individuals who seek to take advantage of other people’s naivety, it is important to have access to tools, data, analysis and information to keep one up to date of current event happening in the everyday crypto space. Information is power, with the right tools, you are indomitable. But gathering these information from various sources proved to be a time sapping and effort consuming task. A perfect solution would be to have an ecosystem which provides these tools to everyone ranging from investors to cryptocurrency experts or people who are newly venturing into the crypto world in one giant platform and this is where Heroic comes in.

HEROIC.com is taking a new approach to AI-powered threat protection. Utilizing big data, artificial intelligence and the blockchain, combined with a decentralized peer-to-peer threat protection platform, HEROIC.com will change cybersecurity as we know it and make next generation solutions freely available to everyone. HEROIC.com will empower and incentivize developers and companies to create the next generation of cybersecurity through the HEROIC.com Ecosystem, which includes an open threat intelligence exchange called HEROIC Arc Reactor™, a unified security management platform called HEROIC Guardian™, and a Research and Development environment. The motivation for collaboration within this Ecosystem will be incentivized through the blockchain and the use of HEROIC.com’s cryptocurrency, the HRO (pronounced hero)

The Problem

Cyber attacks increase exponentially every year. Available on the market, antivirus solutions are becoming obsolete and less effective before the pressure of virus attacks. The most advanced experience of the struggle, the newest and most effective solutions are in the hands of the government and large corporations, as before.

There is a shortage of security professionals in the labour market. According to experts, the demand for them will be more than three million people in 2020.

The Solution

HEROIC has created a threat mining algorithm. Miners can be ordinary users who have installed the anti-virus HEROIC on their computer. And if their computer caught the threat. with which the Arc reactor has not yet encountered, the miner will receive a reward for this, first of all. Secondly, the Guard immediately begins to look for solutions to combat cyber attack. The found solutions are immediately available to all users of the system HEROIC. On this, in other matters, based on the basic principle of the HEROIC.

Benefits for miners threats, that is, for ordinary users:

Free global antivirus protection;

Remuneration for the use of;

Opportunity to be a member of the Guard and work as a security specialist in HEROIC;

A sense of belonging to a common cause – to make the world safer.

The HEROIC system consists of several subsystems performing certain roles:

The role of artificial intelligence is performed by the so-called Arc reactor (Arc Reactor). Its function is to collect data on threats and accumulate solutions to provide them to society for protection;

The role of the community of specialists to find solutions against viruses performs a site called the Guardian. Its function is just in collecting problems and finding solutions to then put them in an Arc reactor for a fee;

The R&d platform serves as the development environment. With its help, the members of the HEROIC Guard get access to data about threats and create their own solutions, which are then replenished by the Arc reactor.

The Ecosystem

The HEROIC.com Ecosystem (the “Ecosystem”) is an open, intelligent and incentivized cybersecurity ecosystem based on the blockchain, that protects against current and next-generation cyber threats. Its core components are:

ARC REACTORS

HEROIC Arc Reactor is an open, decentralized cybersecurity threat intelligence exchange powered by the blockchain. Arc Reactor’s purpose is to provide an open repository of cyber threat intelligence, simple programmatic access to the data, and an efficient marketplace for the data.

Data providers include but are not limited to individual threat miners, open-source threat intelligence providers, organizations of all sizes, and data partners. Collected data passes through an extraction process to pull relevant attributes that are then normalized and saved in a distributed database. The collected data along with its attributes are then ready to be used to train machine learning algorithms which will ultimately allow scoring and classification of samples.

GUARDIAN- HEROIC

Guardian is a unified, cloud-based cybersecurity platform. It provides a simple, online interface for individual users, families and businesses to manage all the pieces of the cybersecurity puzzle. Guardian utilizes the threat data from Arc Reactor and combines it with artificial intelligence to predict and prevent cyber-attacks.

Guardian will enable software developers and organizations to develop additional integrations and apps that connect with Guardian and its data layer. These integrations will enable developers to grow and monetize their creations, leading to a still more robust and holistic cybersecurity platform.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

The R & D Environment will provide developers, organizations and companies alike with a central location to visually and programmatically interact with real-time and historical threat data provided by Arc Reactor.

Developers can research, develop and test their own algorithms in a secure, hosted environment. The environment will also provide access to community contributed algorithms and software to analyze and block threats, with the capability to turn overwhelming and disparate data into actionable insight and intelligence.

The Ecosystem participants

Individual users will take advantage of participating in the ecosystem. They will use the multifunctional software. Users will protect their devices. But they will earn HRO tokens as well, thanks to their computer system reports about threat cyber secure. Thus, users’ devices engage in the Ecosystem and form a strong pool of individual devices.

Developers will receive HRO tokens as a reward for researches in the sphere of cyber data safety. They will receive an access to open-source cyber threat resources and get the opportunity to become a part of talented community, that is inspired to create cybersecurity algorithms and create solutions for the future data safety.

Such structures as businesses, universities and government institutions can be interested in participation in the ecosystem. Organizations will create their own software, by integrating data collected by Art Reactor with internal cybersecurity systems. We can notice such benefits for organizations as access to cyber threat intelligence and compensation for contributions to development of cybersecurity items.

Token Sale and ICO Details

Heroic ecosystem introduced the HRO token which is an ERC20 compliance token on Ethereum blockchain. It will be used as a form of authorization, incentivization and settlement between participants on the Ecosystem, and for other related services.

Incentives are managed through the use of the HRO tokens with the Ecosystem being multi-transactional, allowing both purchases and payments between any combination of HEROIC.com participants, including endusers, developers, and organizations. It wil also help facilitate the development of additional cybersecurity-related services that can be exchanged for HRO tokens.

The token will be available in select cryptocurrency marketplaces. Ecosystem participants will each be provided with a secure wallet with which they can manage their HRO tokens.
