FAQs

What happens if I lose access to my wallet?

If you lose access to your Web3 wallet, you will lose access to your encrypted data unless recovery mechanisms were pre-configured via smart contracts (e.g. delegated access or backup guardian).

Is DataShield GDPR and HIPAA compliant?

DataShield is designed with privacy-by-design principles. It offers programmable compliance, but adherence depends on how institutions implement it. We provide toolkits to support GDPR and HIPAA-aligned deployments.

How does DataShield prevent ransomware attacks?

All data is encrypted, fragmented, and stored across a decentralized network. Immutable backups and automated recovery flows ensure that even if malicious actors attempt to tamper with files, original versions remain intact and recoverable.

Can I integrate DataShield with my application?

Yes. Our SDKs and APIs (REST/GraphQL) allow easy integration into web, mobile, or enterprise systems. Developers can interact with the DataShield backend without needing deep blockchain knowledge.

Who can become a node operator?

Anyone can run a storage or validator node by staking $SHIELD tokens and meeting basic performance and uptime requirements. Node operators earn rewards based on reliability and service quality.

What chains does DataShield support?

DataShield is chain-agnostic and currently supports BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum, with upcoming support for Solana and other high-performance chains.
