The Crypto Sphere

Idea: New Kind of Network – Project aiming to rebuild the Internet that will be truly open, decentralized, dynamic, safe, shared and owned by the community.

Team:

Founder is a previous co-founder of onchain, very similar to NEO, kind of a centralized private vc funded version of neo. Two of the five co-founders of Onchain are also founders of NEO

Advisors: they have only one, but he’s freaking great. Turing award winner, inventor of public key cryptography

roadmap: Late, beta Q1 2019, mainnet Q3 2019

No prototype

– telegram 9800 members EN + 5500 members CN

Total Tokens: not released yet

Hardcap not released yet

Token type NEO. But in future will have their own blockchain

Very early project.

Similar projects: Substratum ($118M market cap), Orchid Protocol and Right Mesh.

Problems trying to solve:

Privacy — Ability to protect PII(Personally Identifiable Information such as name, address etc) as well as user behaviour when visiting website.

Decentralized Ecosystem for the Self-Employed. Basically decentralized Upwork. “Freelancers will make up 58% of the US workforce by 2027”.

Korean ICO. One of the first ICO’s on ICON.

Summary:

It’s a Dapp, raising $41.8M for 50% with no prototype and late roadmap seems like an overkill. Also ~45% of investors (the pre-sale) get 30% bonus (possibly more), making the public sale deal much less attractive. I’d consider investing with the 30% bonus, might be good for a flip. Long term, skeptical.

A Decentralized and Incentivized Social Networking Protocol.

Social network users are rewarded for generating, distributing and interacting with other users and their social contents.

tataUFO will the first DAPP on TTC Open Platform. Founded in 2013 , claims to have 11M+ users, mostly Chinese

Copy of Instagram (they admit it themselves).

Summary:

Mediocre idea (social network), Good team but not great, Weak advisors, Roadmap is bad, Prototype: no, Good hype, Token metrics: Bad

With no prototype, no blockchain experience, unoriginal idea, undisclosed private sale bonus, I’ll pass.

Skrumble Network is building a decentralized private messenger app. Think Whatsapp that can't be blocked/censored and is private. Pretty cool idea. The team worked before building communication software for enterprise, so now they just pivoted to blockchain space. Seems like a smart decision ;)

Team has big advantage because have working non-blockchain product, but now they need to rebuild a private messenger on blockchain. With their great advisors (ethereum and aion cofounders) I think they have a chance. The token metrics are good considering the fact they have lockup on most of the tokens.

Merculet is a Decentralized attention value network. Creators get paid for content that get attention. Think Instagram where you get paid if your video gets 1 million views. Cool shizz. It's a Chinese ICO. Solid team who worked before on a similar non-blockchain company in the advertising and tech space (magicwindow.cn).

Summary:

Good idea, unoriginal, Strong team, weak advisors, Focused on China, No prototype, Roadmap ok, Low hype, Token metrics: good for private sale, bad otherwise They’re raising at a high valuation for a strong bear market. Changed hardcap, private sale bonus, hard to measure because it’s a Chinese ICO. It’s a risky investment.
