William l GBC
Utilities are embedded into the GBC.AI token using a mix of product-based and policy-based mechanics.

Claims to revenue redistribution.
Rewards are used to compensate for the referral of high-value users to the network!
Settlement of policy-mandated burns linked to product sale volume.
Incentive engineering to create real-user test environments for clients.
DAO governance of key policy parameters and some of the discretionary spending by the treasury.
Segment 2: Twitter Round Question:
- @Ganeshbana2003 : Can you explain, which one is your top priority? Security, Product,Partnership, or Token price? If security is your top priority then how do you deal with the security threats of your project? DO you have any AUDIT in recent times for trust?
William l GBC
Right now, we are prioritising our Wallet Guardian product release and developing partnerships, and of course, all our products are about security and smart contracts. When it’s time for the $GBCAI token release, we will have this smart contract audited by one or two of the best auditing organisations. Our products are not built on Blockchains, so the apps are not smart contracts.
2. @Cryptoforlife8 : You mentioned on your website that there aren’t any successful blockchain that integrated AI implication into its system. How did GBC AI pulled off the succesfull integration? What are the notable challenges that your project had faced in terms of AI integration?
William l GBC
First of all, our team came by merging two very experienced AI companies together (many years of AI projects before merging) about two years ago. Our research and development in applying AI to Blockchain technology were recognised when NVIDIA awarded us with a prize in the form of a grant. Our approach to developing the all-important data-sets the AI needs was and is still novel. Put simply, we create our own testnets — attack them and change parameters thousands of times, and we see what happens, then machine learning comes into play.
The biggest challenge, which never stops, is obtaining good quality data, and labelling this data is challenging. We are obtaining datasets and cleaning and labelling data while creating our own data.
3. @starboomer1 : 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 ?
William l GBC
Wallet Guardian works with all DEX and, at this time, Metamask. We are partnering with DEX and Wallets to market and are working with Dapps.
We also have some Wallet integrations and an important DeFi protocol to announce soon. Now that bring me so something important your community can help us … help them with.
We want you, the users, to tell us which Wallets and DEX you want Wallet Guardian to work with. Can you please do that? Wallet Guardian is for all of you, and we want to know what you want it to work with, please.
4. @Cryptogeeek_ : Guardians of Blockchain are Creating AI Superpower tools to enhance and protect Blockchain so does this Tools/AI come at some cost or it will be free to use ? Can a Newbie crytpo investor also use these ?
William l GBC
Wallet Guardian is free, as seen in the demo video, and the simple coloured warning will remain free as we want to help everyone protect themselves. https://youtu.be/rQKge4_OTdY
Later we will bring a premium version for a few dollars, which will provide more details about the AI scan and new features such as Bridge Guardian to check the integrity of Bridges.
Wallet Guardian is for newbies and experienced Crytpo users.
Premium will be early next year 2023
5. @ruhel00786 : I saw that the first 8888 users to sign up in Guardians of the Blockchain will get an NFT from your comic characters.Its not very clear to me what’s the importance of this NFTs. Can you tell us more about what role your NFTs will play and why should we aim to have?
William l GBC
The NFT are like a souvenir or a POAP. It’s to show you were the first Wallet Guardian users, and the artwork comes from our custom-made Guardians of the Blockchain Comics: https://gbc.ai/comics
These NFTs are also what Wallet Guardian premium subscribers will get.
We will launch an ambassador programme, and the most engaged community members contest soon, and special NFTs will be awarded.
They are very much about the Blockchain user community Guardians- similar to club membership cards.

Segment 3: Live Q&A
Q1. @Jklghosh54 : Your Project technology Web 2 or Web 3??
Ans : Great question. We are very much Web3 however as many Wallets are extensions on Web2 Browsers we utilise this tech so you don’t need to connect a wallet to Wallet Guardian.. Wallet Guardian doesn’t take any information from Wallets.
Q2. @clotildeo : From where you get the project name? What does it means to you? And why you choose this name for your project?
Ans : So out team are big fans of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and when we were thinking of a name about how we protect blockchains and users we thought…. we are like “Guardians of the Blockchain” and what is the super power??? Well it’s AI .. so GBC.AI
Actually when Solana had some problems I used this to reply to tweets…
Q3. @BACHELOR_02 : Where can I buy your tokens now, what are your current contracts address and how can I buy them and what are the benefits?please tell me this question?
Ans : The token listing was going to be this year but we think it is bad for investors if we list on this market. We don’t need the token to be listed for Free Wallet Guardian either .. just premium version. We saw a token list last week and it dived well under the public listing price and the private investors price. We want to protect and increase your investment not just your wallets from hacks. So we will watch the Crypto Markets for the right time to list. Announcements will be across our social channels.
Q4. @Mr_been008 : I am very much interested for your project. Because I am suffer from a hack ago.
Can we get any expected date about wallet Gaurdian to ready for public Use?
Ans : That’s tough and this is what we want to try and stop happening. Wallet Guardian should be ready for public this October 2022 — so about 1 months from now.
Q5. @fhalvorson : How many active users does the platform currently have? How many users do you expect to use your platform by the end of this year 2022? What goals have you set for yourselves in this regard?
Ans : So right now, we are filling out the waiting list which is where the NFT and Premium subscription is for 8888 people. Of course it won’t stop at 8888 but that’s who will get the comic NFT and premium (paid) subscription to Wallet Guardian. We would like to see ten’s of thousands of users protecting themselves for free in 2022 and then lots of growth beyond this. The more users of Wallet Guardian the better is gets with the Machine Learning and AI… Please do spread the work and here is the waiting list again: https://gbc.ai/walletguardian/
