Gate.io Startup will launch its next project, Serenity Shield(SERSH), on December 17th, 2023 at 08:00 AM (UTC). Startup Link: https://www.gate.io/startup **Introduction to Serenity Shield(SERSH)：** Serenity Shield is a self-custodial, privacy-centric digital data storage platform built on the blockchain, featuring a built-in inheritance protocol. It serves various use cases, including storage, recovery, and estate planning for wallet seed phrases and diverse digital data types such as audio, video files, PDFs, docs, and text files. Serenity Shield is important today because it helps protect your personal information in a world where data is often exposed and exploited. With new technologies and the shift to Web 3.0, our need for privacy and control over our data has grown. Initially targeting the B2C market, Serenity Shield aim to scale into the B2B sector in the near future. For B2B storage, their platform offers on-chain, decentralized data storage, granting users complete ownership of their data. Additionally, users can explore opportunities to monetize their data through indexed digital repository systems stored on-chain. Their flagship product, known as "StrongBox," functions as a Decentralized Application (DApp) and is Multi-chain EVM compatible. (The information below is provided by the Serenity Shield(SERSH) team.
