Warm welcome to @BillyDeath from Guardians of Blockchain. Glad to have you here

Lets proceed to the business of the hour.
At the end of every answer, please type Done. That way i wont interrupt you while answering the questions
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
got it
lets go
Merc:
Before we begin, can you introduce yourself, team and your experience(s) in the blockchain space ?
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
I am Will, co-founder and lead the commercial and business development activities at Guardians of the Blockchain. We have 10 full-time and 10 consulting team members making 20. I have been involved in Blockchain technology and Crypto investing since 2017. On the business management side of the team, we all have 15/20 years of experience, each growing business. On the technical side, we have award-winning data scientists. If you go to https://gbc.ai/#team you will see us and links to LinkedIn profiles.
DONE
Merc:
Awesome experience.
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
It’s a great team to work with, yes,
Merc:
Please tell us about Guardians of Blockchain in details?
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
Ok I will try to be detailed and concise… try..
Guardians of the Blockchain — GBC.AI create Security Superpower tools supported by Artificial Intelligence to enhance and protect Blockchains users.
We construct proprietary AI-powered security products and services to detect protocol issues and ensure vulnerabilities are proactively dealt with before they become problems, keeping blockchains efficient and users safe while allowing for exponential growth.
GBC.AI “Wallet Guardian” protects Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets investors’ wallets, providing “Do Your Own Research” with one click to detect malicious smart contracts before interacting. Please see our early-stage “ALPHA” demonstration of the Wallet Guardian extension. https://youtu.be/rQKge4_OTdY
So.. where are we on Wallet Guardian for release?
BETA will be ready within 2022, and we are building a user waiting list of thousands. If you join our waiting list now, you will get a free NFT; this is free to mint, too — no fees, and this will give you access to a free premium Wallet Guardian subscription.
Just go here and sign up : https://gbc.ai/walletguardian/
DONE :)
Merc:
Amazing. Much needed solution in the industry
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
We want to help everyone.. it’s a big problem.
Merc:
Why will investors choose GBC.ai over similar projects/platforms? what’s the competitive edge you have?
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
Put simply, no other organisation has the experience and background we have with Artificial Intelligence and has applied it to Blockchain technology. We have two years of research and development so far, and NVIDIA awarded us a grant in recognition of this work: https://gbc-ai.medium.com/gbc-ai-gets-the-recognition-of-nvidia-with-a-100k-grant-for-further-research-e8e4e3857bce
So what does all this AI do when it comes to security? It produces a fast result, and it gets better at detecting security threats the more it is used as it uses Machine Learning.
We are building tools for all Blockchains, we are not building Dapps on single Blockchains.
DONE
Merc:
Good you guys are setting the pace in this. Can’t wait for your product to launch
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
FANKS FRENS
Merc:
Please give an indepth analysis of how the Wallet Guardian works. What are the parameters it uses to scan and detect scam projects?
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
Ok you are lucky I am the biz and commercial guy because if you asked that to our tech guys… we would be here same time tomorrow.!! It’s AI and Blockchain.. it get’s deep and complicated.. I will make it QUICK.
The analysis consists of two parts: the first part is the smart contract code audit, and the second part is the audit of various on-chain metrics regarding the smart contract.
It’s important to asses various parameters because a scam smart contract can be perfectly fine on the technical level; however, with on-chain analysis, we can detect patterns that make us think it’s most likely a scam.
The result is simply shown to the user with a simple colour system to warn them:
RED — STOP
YELLOW — ATTENTION
GREEN — GO. Please see the YouTube link above.
The AI aggregates our GBC.AI data with open source data to show a result in under 5 seconds so the user can quickly decide whether to confirm a transaction.
DONE ( LUCKILY FOR YOUR COMMUNITY !!)
Merc:
Sure it’s a lot of tech details. Thanks for simplifying it.
Godspeed
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
Trust me our tech meetings are L O N G
DATA SCIENTISTS AND BLOCKCHAIN DEVS !!!
Merc:
What are your biggest challenges right now on the project and how do you intend to solve them?
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
Something you may expect with a public blockchain is accessible…
Put simply: Good quality data and labelling of this data is challenging. We are obtaining datasets and cleaning and labelling data while creating our own data. We have other challenges, like some security policies with wallets. Still, they are not really “big challenges” AI needs lots of clean data sets, so we are dealing with that, and this is the only thing that has stopped us from opening Wallet Guardian beta before now; however, BETA is now only a few weeks away.
DONE
Merc:
Good thing you guys are getting solutions and results
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
Well we are at this non-stop.. we need to help everyone with scams
Merc:
Finally, tell us about your funding rounds, how much are you raising in total from all the rounds?
When and where will the GBC.ai be traded at launch?
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
We closed a seed round last January 2022 and are currently raising funds in a “Strategic Token Raise”. Like all Web3 projects, this has been slower than we would have liked due to the poor Crypto market and traditional finance markets. We are close to closing this round, and then we will open a second private token fundraising round.
As far as public listing goes we are very cautious due to the current bear market and want to protect all our investors. We have seen IEO last week and the token price tanked not just well below the private token sale price but also the public listing price.
Our products can be launched without our token being made public so we can wait for the optimal time to list the token. We have opened discussions with reputable exchanges and will move these discussions forward when it is the right time to do so. We don’t want to hold off listing, but we don’t want private and retail/public investors to have to face losses when we can avoid that.
The best thing to do is join our Telegram group and Twitter for announcements. Join from here and you will get something too: https://gbc.ai/walletguardian/
DONE !!!
Merc:
Thanks, is the Strategic Token Raise open to the public?
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
I am afraid this one isn’t but we will look at something closer to listing..
Merc:
Good
@BillyDeath thank you very much for doing justice to all our questions.
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
I hope it was ok and clear ?
Merc:
You nailed it
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
WOW — Practise …
Merc:
Let’s move to the next segment where you get to answer 4 questions selected from our twitter community.
I will post 1 question per time, when you answer it, please type Done.
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
gotcha
LETS GET THOSE TWEETS
Merc:
Sure
Question 1
Pump and dump schemes are becoming a major problem in the crypto space which needs solving, Investors hard earned money going down the drain. Could you please tell us how Guardians of Blockchain will prevent whales from manipulating the price & ensure the price appreciates?
https://twitter.com/Peakaboe1/status/1565099809748426759
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
Thanks Peakaboe1
This is very true. We have a carefully designed the Token vesting schedule to prevent both private token investors and our team from pumping and dumping to provide confidence. More importantly, we don’t have any pump and dump investors either. We will also have staking, subscription and governance incentives. As mentioned, we won’t list until the Crypto market conditions a correct. Hold on I have something on my desktop from a meeting today I can share…….
DONE
Merc:
Question 2
What are the approaches of Guardians of Blockchain for marketing to spread it widely?
Do you have plans like Airdrop, Giveaway, Meme contest or ambassador program?
https://twitter.com/Jhumpa_/status/1565109556635729920
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:

Question 3
Will the use of your AI come at a cost or will it be available for free? If there is a cost, can we know the likely subscription plans and the benefits attached ?
https://twitter.com/vikingslam/status/1565117006441074689
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
VIKINGSLAM … luv that ID .. ODIN !!!
Wallet Guardian is free, as seen in the demo video above, and the simple coloured warning will remain free as we want to help everyone protect themselves.
Later we will bring a premium version which will provide more details about the AI scan and new features such as Bridge Guardian to check the integrity of Bridges.
DUNNO
(DONE SAID IN AN AUSSIE ACCENT)
Merc:
Final Question
Have you had any collaboration, partnerships with any other project? Do you intend to partner with projects and other crypto corporations? What benefits does Guardian of Blockchain project get from existing partnerships, if you’ve secured any ?
https://twitter.com/Sarahleam2/status/1565124350302474240
William De’Ath | Guardian of the Blockchain | CCO 🚀 GBC.AI🚀:
We made our early Research and Development with the Blockchain called Velas.

We have a partnership with AVARTA
As mentioned above, we announced we would be working with VINCI.
👀👀👀
We will also announce an integration with a fantastic multichain wallet in a few weeks.
