About PolySwarm

PolySwarm is a decentralized cybersecurity marketplace where antivirus engines and security researchers compete to detect malware, earning NCT tokens for accurate detections. Traditional antivirus companies operate in silos — each has proprietary threat databases and detection engines developed separately. PolySwarm creates a competitive market where multiple security engines examine files simultaneously, with token rewards for accurate threat identification. Enterprises pay NCT to scan suspicious files across all participating engines; security vendors stake NCT and earn when their determinations prove correct. This crowdsourced model surfaces threats faster and with higher accuracy than any single vendor, while creating financial incentives for security researchers to contribute novel detection capabilities.
