According to Synthient, Gaganode is a decentralized bandwidth monetization service that enables both users and publishers to earn crypto for their bandwidth or monetize other people's bandwidth. The SDK intentionally implements RCE, thus aligning Gaganode more closely with malware than standard commercial SDKs.
