Sounds cool
Q2: Can you briefly describe what is Hacken.ai in 3-5 sentences? What technology stands behind Hacken.ai and why it’s better than the existing one?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
HackenAI is a one stop cybersecurity solution for individuals.
With HackenAI we have created cybersecurity Swiss Army knife, that not only protects, but what most important – educates and motivates through gamification to learn good cybersecurity habits.
And my favorite is that HackenAI main stakeholder is our community. Though native token HAI we are transferring company value growth from equity shareholders to active community members.

Q3: What are the major milestones you have achieved so far?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
1. We have build successful B2B cybersecurity consulting that is our established blockchain and cryptoexchanges security market leader
2. We have proved by hard work and securing more than 250 projects for last 2,5 years our capabilities and skills. That resulted to top crypto industry partnerships, investments and client portfolio
3. We have built HackenAI MVP and unique tokenomics that we started to present since last week. As a result – our community grew almos 4 times in 5 days and only for 4 days we have more than 10k unique downloads and 4K registered members. This is a bit shocking to us, because e didn’t even release MVP – only beta version. Future looks very exciting
CryptoDiffer team
Ok, thanks for such detailed and interesting answers!
Let’s move to the Telegram community questions part.

How did HackenAI raise funds successfully? Can you tell us the plan to use the fund and the next steps of HackenAI after IEO?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
We are raising 350-400k USd at Oceanex sale. This funds are going to be used mainly on HackenAI development. It will be sufficient to launch premium version. We are very careful with raising funds through HAI. We are focused on longterm sustainable growth and it is just the beginning.

Cybersecurity is nice and attractive feature of HackenAi !!
Every person need cybersecurity whether it is crypto user or non crypto user!!!
But can you tell me the utility of HAI token in HackenAi project?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
The problems of most utility tokens are:
– they operate in B2B business. But client never want to pay in volatile token. Just impossible
– HAI allows us to decrease subscription price for our end users by Apple and android store commission which are 20-30%
– successful tokenomics are only related to B2C model. BNB, BAT are good examples
– there will be an option to pay subscription both in fiat and crypto. And this is very important because that will allow more people softly explain benefits of cryptoeconomy. They will want to pay less and will explorer crypto. Small step for mass adoption through HAI token

1) Why is HackenAI free of charge unlike DashLane? How do you make profit?
2) Why is it compulsory to unlock the 30 achievements on the App?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
Great question.
1. Dashlane is free for one device. If you want to synch with other devices, than you need to buy premium version. We also are going to have premium versions, that will include VPNs, anti-phishing, additional features of DarkNet monitoring and many more. Our approach to win this market is to provide everything that dashlane sells for money and earn on additional security value
2. Not necessary of course. It is part of the game. There will be continues competitions, prizes and all kind of different gamification elements through achievements. Achievements is a motivational story to make people act and set up the security settings in correct way
Cryptodiffer Community
Can you expand more details about staking hierarchy levels based on the Hacken AI?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
Patience please. Join our announcements and telegram chat. We are releasing detailed article very very soon. Main feature – yes you will be able to start low and make some money through active participation.

I know now a days cybersecurity is very important topic everyone should care about own privacy.
My question:
What’s your in goal cybersecurity? Which types of problems HackenAI will solve via decentralization?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
Our goal is to protect people. It is very painful to be hacked and/or loose digital assets due to mistakes. More people use HackenAI less individual hacks will happen in the world.
Eventually I think that cybercrime trend will go down if more people will use tools like ours. But not now. Only 3% are using password managers and this is a paradise for young black hackers. We expect that in 2020-2021 every fifth person will be hacked. Among cryptocurrency holders this number will be 1/2.
Cryptodiffer Community
1) What services does the HackenAI application offer me to protect my private passwords?
2) How can I know through this application if I have been hacked?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
1) Please compare password manager tool with digital assets wallet. Tech is very similar. App holds private keys/passwords. This data cannot leave the device without user action
2) DarkNet monitoring tool monitores DarkNet for your account leakage 24/7. Download the app and try in how many breaches your email leaked
For example my email budorin@hotmail.com has leaked 9 times. We actually going to have a competition soon. User with biggest number of breaches going to win significant prize. Stay tuned

1. Do you personally consider that there are risks associated with the Password Manager?
2. After IEO, do you plan to be listed quickly on other exchanges? is this a priority?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
1. There is very clear statement that I can defend. Having a reputable password manager is 100% better security of you don’t. It just people are scared of unknown and don’t understand how password managers work. At cyberbootcamp we are explaining this tech. Please start learning curve. Me personally I already cannot imagine my digital life without password manager. It saves time and makes me also it unhackable
2. I have received great offer from top Korean exchange. Yes, our further listings are going to be continues and non stop. This is our key element of marketing campaign for both HAI and HackenAI. Once again I want to underline that for last 2,5 years Hacken has done lots of cybersecurity work for various exchanges
Cryptodiffer Community
The services that Hacken offers me to save my passwords are very good, but what makes it different from the services offered by Google extensions?
In addition to saving passwords, can I use the Hacken application to save and record very important information?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
Cross platform synch is very important for a password manager.
Yes, there will be a seed phrase storage functions for your crypto. Just like storing passwords in excel is not secure. It is not secure to store you seed phrase as print screens in the phone. We provide a solution for securing this pictures and placing them under three encryption layers.
Cryptodiffer Community
1. There some way to desactive the auto-lock of HackenAI app?
2. How Hacken will mitigate the Lack liquidity issue of the Swaps?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
We have received complaints from beta teaters about auto lock. Yes, we will provide such option.
Cryptodiffer Community
1) Why you think this app will have a lot of users in 2021? How can this affect HaI?
2) I have seen many AMAS of Hackenai. What is your main objective doing this? Do you think it is working?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
1. Target for 2020 is 100,000 users. Today we already have almost 5,000 just in 5 days of active campaign. We believe that lots of our active community members will help us promoting the app and will make some money from referrals. It will be their hobby – share knowledge, protect friends, pitch great product and make some money. Why not?
Staking as a lifetime subscription and monthly subscriptions in HAI are directly impacting h the demand on HAI. We start with 400,000 usd sale. We need only 4,000 1st (I am not even speaking about 2-4 stakers) level stakers to completely get all HAI from the market. Please make your own research what effect this can do in the price of HAI
2. AMA helps to understand what users think about us. We analyze Questions received and make proper conclusions. I was underestimating this marketing tool. And now we are planning to have AMAs on regular basis at least once a week. It is really great way to share ideas and spread the word about what you and the team is working on.

The DarkNet Monitoring service give us notifications as soon as account details are found online and compromised! How long could it be “as soon as”?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
There are two teams working on creating this database. One is proactively scans the internet and identifies new leakages. Second is working at DarkNet forums.

Main beneficiaries of Companies of new decentralized type are going to be the most active community members. This is what I dream of.

What is the main purpose of Cyberbootcamp since people can find those cybersecurity lectures easily by using google? How is it friendly and easy-to-understand so that my grandmother can understand it?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
Google does not give you funny achievements and NFT collectibles when reading their lectures. But we do.
We tried the course to be easy and interactive. But essential enough to raise awareness and motivate to act.

While many projects is still using ETH Network to run. On the other hand, Hacken is doing another way. Why do you decide to choose VeChain Network for your project while ETH proved itself for a long time? What is it advantages?
Dmitry Budorin, CEO at Hacken.ai, Hacken.io and CER.live
Multipartial transactions is very important feature if Vechain Blockchain in terms of usability. If you held ERC20 you need gas to send transaction. It is even hard to explain to grandfather who is not familiar with crypto. While sending HAI, transaction commission Is also paid in hai.
