AMA with TAG Ventures Vietnam: Importance of User Protection and Security and $SNE Token Distribution for StrongNode.io StrongNode Oct 10, 2021·5 min read

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) tech company and innovation lab StrongNode.io’s CEO and Co-founder Daniel Saito talked with the TAG Ventures Vietnam community for a new AMA episode last 22 September 2021. Daniel replied to the questions about our company and shared facts about the upcoming IDO launch and $SNE token public sale.

Our $SNE Token Sale will roll out on 3 launchpads. The IDO is happening on TrustPad.io, Starter.xyz, and BullPerks.com.

For the IDO on TrustPad and BullPerks, details on how to join will be available later on their website. For Starter, here’s how to participate in our IDO: https://starterxyz.medium.com/guide-how-to-take-part-in-the-strongnode-edge-ido-on-starter-c09233aa3d70. The KYC process for the StrongNode IDO on Starter started 30 Sept via Blockpass, please click here.

Don’t despair if you missed it. Check out some of the highlights from the AMA session between StrongNode and TAG Ventures Vietnam:

$SNE Token Adoption

What do you consider to be the best features of “StrongNode” ? Are there any features that “StrongNode” has that we can’t get on any other platform? Where can we stay informed of all the news that “StrongNode” has to offer us?

Daniel Saito: Thank you for the question, you can follow us here for a lot of follow up questions and answers. As we get closer to launch, you probably want to keep informed of all product and platform updates

When we first started the thought of StrongNode we looked outside to see what we can do to help solve some of the world’s problems. Last year wasn’t any joke and now we have a pandemic on our hands. We went to our clientele and saw what keeps them up at night. We noticed that the cost of computing has gone up, these cloud providers have a foothold on us and they know it. With that said, we had to come up with a solution or an alternative and looking inwards of what is available we noticed that we already had the blueprint already in front of us in the form of Open Source.

We wanted to address the last mile, which is the EDGE. It’s the consumers’ latent resources from your PC/MAC/LINUX [environment] (CPU, bandwidth, storage) and use it for a batch processing cluster using the map/reduce method of sorting jobs and processing it with a token economic incentive to participate both as a broadcaster and a receiver. The solution was designed with security in mind and made with ❤️ for the NEW NORMAL.

We wanted to grow the digital footprint of our decentralized distributed network and to be able to get token distribution to as many wallets as possible which will, in the long term, help the value of the $SNE token.

The StrongNode $SNE token has so many use cases within the StrongNode ecosystem which includes our innovation lab projects focused on gaming, social impact, entertainment, lifestyle platforms building on the StrongNode Edge technology. You get paid for your idle resources and others get to run workloads, processed in chunks, on your idle resources. In return, you get paid in StrongNode tokens [$SNE] when you lend your network and compute resources. There are more mechanics yet to be announced that will enhance the appeal of token adoption.

USER PROTECTION and PRIVACY

User Protection and Privacy has become an issue that many projects face in their development. Can you explain the security of the StrongNode and how the StrongNode protects its users?

Daniel Saito: As a former security analyst, researcher and developer; I was originally tasked at designing the framework for the trusted mobile platform using a TPM or otherwise known in today’s term as “secure enclave” in 4G devices with NTT DoCoMo R&D, Intel and IBM. I want to take the same principle but also apply it to the anonymous / cryptographic model of crypto and create the ultimate solution in network and privacy where the user add value and in return they receive a monetary reward.

As for privacy, we only know you by your wallet address at any time. All personal KYCd data will be stored offsite with our KYC authentication partners. You will need to be properly KYCd to join the StrongNode Network. We plan to not only have Audit certificates but we also plan to use 3rd party services to attack our network, have bug bounties, and most of all it will be OPEN SOURCE (even that will be all audited).

In order to help this process, we reinvented OpenID. This is our SSO (Single Sign On) approach like “Login with Google” or “Login with Facebook” to validate you as a user to enter the network. Upon completing the KYC component at User Registration, not only do we airdrop you $SNE tokens, but you also get this nifty NFT dropped into your wallet. This NFT is specific to your wallet address and your identity, which cannot be moved out of your wallet. This NFT acts as an access token (a key) to login to various crypto properties that we are working on in our innovation labs. We want to use best of breed open source projects and develop StrongNode with the tech.

Security and anonymity are always prioritized by BlockChain projects in the development of project platforms and technologies. So, do you have any technological solutions or plans to enhance user trust in these issues?

Daniel Saito: Yes, we took extra constraints to ensure data sovereignty distribute our MASTER nodes in locations where GOV’T have strict regulatory on user privacy and encryption.

This is the next era of where and how data is stored. Cloud makes things easy, but if the provider is a USA-based corporation. The US government will have access to that data.

Daniel Saito: Please join us and grow Vietnam’s digital footprint on StrongNode.
