Why would I use the Jackal Protocol?

Jackal users are empowered with a fast and scalable blockchain while having the ability to be self-custodial of their data. It may be hard to comprehend why many strive for high digital privacy and cyber security posture, so here is a community-compiled list of reasons people use the Jackal Protocol.

• "I want a transparent, secure, and unified experience with web3."

• "The same reason we think our phones are listening to us!"

• "I want better cybersecurity but don’t want to change your passwords every month."

• "Because I shouldn't have to give up ownership of all my personal information to access basic services on the Internet."

• "I can't trust third parties that sell your data when 15 million people in the US alone experience identity theft with over 50 billion in financial losses!"

• "Data breaches have exposed 14 billion of our records including passwords, usernames, emails, IP addresses, phone numbers, VINs, physical addresses, and more!"
