Guardian Circle
Guardian Circle is a free app that lets friends, family and neighbours protect each other.
Official services are quickly becoming overwhelmed. And in other parts of the world, they are non-existent.Guardian Circle is an “open source 9-1-1” intelligence grid that we can all tap into to both give and receive help -- for emergencies both large and small. When you’re trouble, there is usually help literally all around you. Guardian Circle helps you unlock this help and stay safe. Guardian Circle is a new worldwide public utility offering global, decentralized 911 emergency response. ?It is the first blockchain-based emergency response system to crowdsource safety, enabling users to access a decentralized pool of pre-selected citizen-rescuers who are alerted in the event of an emergency, dispatching aid closest to the situation. These guardians are then rewarded in cryptocurrency with Guardium, a token that can be redeemed for more services or sold for fiat currency within the platform.
