# PolySwarm (NCT) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/nct.html

## Definition
PolySwarm is a decentralized marketplace where security experts compete to detect malware and cyber threats, rewarding rapid and accurate threat intelligence.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
NCT (Nectar) is the utility token powering PolySwarm's decentralized malware-intelligence marketplace. Participants post bounties in NCT, register assertions, and establish or tear down offer channels; threat-detection engines and researchers are rewarded in NCT for accurate, timely identifications. The 2021 whitepaper extends NCT to telemetry rewards for everyday users contributing security data.

## Verification verdict
Class B (Class B) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2 VERIFIED · q3 VERIFIED · q4 VERIFIED · q5 PARTIALLY VERIFIED

## Plain-language utility
Staked for threat detection on the PolySwarm security marketplace.

## Key risks & notes
The main whitepaper dates to the 2018 ICO era; a 2021 supplementary paper covers newer telemetry rewards. Adoption risk is significant: the marketplace model only works with enough ambassadors, experts, and arbiters participating. Regulatory exposure around threat-intel data sharing is an additional consideration.
