PolySwarm is a unique cryptocurrency project that offers a crowdsourced threat detection marketplace, where security experts and AV companies compete to protect users. With its next-generation malware intelligence marketplace, PolySwarm provides early detection of threats, unique samples, and higher accuracy. This is achieved through a robust and growing network of threat detection engines, including specialized engines that can detect emerging and rare threats that other engines often miss. Additionally, PolySwarm uses a blockchain-powered backend that rewards researchers based on the accuracy of the threats reported via the native Nectar (NCT) token. The project also offers a proprietary threat scoring algorithm called PolyScore that rates the probability that a given file contains malware. Overall, PolySwarm enables users to prioritize and scale their cybersecurity efforts with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
