Fight Fire With Fire
disBalancer is building a peer-to-peer and serverless node network that connects computer bandwidth and storage pools to websites for DDoS protection and expedited content delivery. It creates connections between consumers with unused computer resources and the companies that need protection for mutual benefit. DDoS is only possible due to unused bandwidth and storage in the first place, so disBalancer can counteract the resources that malicious actors would otherwise steal and incentivizes putting those resources to good use instead.
In a market first, the disBalancer network will allow businesses that previously could not afford adequate protection or those that overpay for services they infrequently use, to access a cheaper alternative where they only pay for what they need.
Decentralized and Incentivized Solution
disBalancer is creating a decentralized system that anyone can join by simply downloading its software and running it in the background to rent out any unused bandwidth or storage space. It works similarly to a blockchain mining pool by setting up a computer node to perform the required operations and receive traffic. In return, these users are rewarded with DDOS tokens, the native currency of the disBalancer network.
If a business then wants to use the solution, it simply adds network nodes to its DNS records, and all traffic starts circulating behind the nearest ones available. Each node can then redirect traffic to others nearby to increase capacity as required. This decentralized network can therefore circulate the load and traffic, solving denial-of-service problems.
