The threat intelligence market is expected to grow to 9 Billion by 2022, thanks to an increasing need for cybersecurity with about 80 to 90 million cyberattacks each year, up to 70% of which go undetected. We're releasing Nectar, a utility token that powers PolySwarm, a decentralized security marketplace where threats are detected in real-time by thousands of micro-engines, honed by security experts competing to protect you. Nectar will be used, exclusively, in the PolySwarm ecosystem by enterprises and existing anti-virus subscribers to distribute anti-virus subscription fees only to those security experts who are timely and accurate with being able to identify malicious files.
