The network utilizes a custom node-reputation graph coupled with a lightweight SHA-256 Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism to dynamically throttle malicious automated scripts before they hit target backend databases. + +### Ecosystem Fit +The Polkadot ecosystem relies heavily on decentralized infrastructures, cross-chain communication, and node-level resilience. However, RPC nodes, validators, and ecosystem Web3 platforms remain vulnerable to high-intensity scraping and automated bot interactions that exhaust resources. + +DeHand acts as a fundamental cybersecurity layer for Substrate-based projects and Polkadot-native applications, establishing a reputation scoring engine across nodes to automatically isolate malicious traffic. + +## Team + +### Team members +- **Olesya Dekhand** - Founder, Lead Backend / Software Engineer, Business Analyst. + +### Contact +- **Contact Name:** Olesya Dekhand +- **Contact Email:** olesyadekhand@gmail.com + +### Legal Structure +- **Individual / Freelancer Profile** (Self-employed status under local registration). + +### Team's Experience +Experienced software engineer specializing in system architecture, network protocols, and distributed database design.
