I really dont know what is meant by that could someone help me to know more about hard cap and soft cap.
-
Soft Cap - Minimum fund required for the project/ICO to proceed. If the Softcap is not achieved, the project will not move any further and the investments will be returned to the investors.
Hard Cap - Maximum Fund required for the project/ICO. If the project raised the Hardcap, the Crowdsale will automatically close and the development process starts right away.
For instance, let's see VRT world, This ICO has a soft cap around 3.5 million and a hard cap of 16 million. This means that if the project does not attain 3.5 million it will not proceed and also if it reaches 16 million no more can be contributed.

I don't think soo but i think hardcap is a higher of amount in ICO and softcap is a lowest or minimum of there amount.

Yeah right. And if you want to participate in any ICO try to find an ICO that requires not high hard cap. This will have a chance to reach the target price successful.

I have seen several projects that do not have a Soft Cap. What do you think that means? Is it worth to pay attention to it?
-
based on my study the Hard Cap is defined as the maximum amount a crowdsale will receive. Most projects set a very high cap that is unlikely to happen. and the Soft Cap is the amount received at which your crowdsale will be considered a success, It is the minimal amount required by your project.

Spot on.

Lower cap doesn't guarantee success of project most ICO with low cap ends up being a pump and dump ICO or scam so I was told..
Nevertheless I think high cap can some time be one of the prerequisite of been a good and successful project.

Skip.

In my opinion, both of you are wrong. Whether to invest in an ICO has nothing to do with having a bigger / smaller hardcap. If the project is big, then you'll eventually have a bigger hardcap. If it's a small project and having a bigger hardcap then the risk of being scammed is higher. Investing in a ICO has to do with the team, tech, white paper, its solution etc. Generally, investing in a ICO has nothing to do with its Cap

Soft cap= minimum amount to start a project
Hard cap= maximum amount a project is raising
-
The hard Cap is the highest Sale of token and the Soft cap is the lowest sale of the token thats the difference between the two.
-
Quite frankly, hard caps on projects kind of annoys me.. it annoys me further when projects are way past soft cap and extend.. like whats the point of a soft cap if the amount is too low for you to get the project going? Most hard caps are getting ridiculously unreasonable.. I saw a project the other day without a working product looking for a 50 million dollar hardcap for 45% of the supply.. that means just to break even.. the project would have to START in the top 100 on coinmarketcap practically which is just insane to me. If your project requires a marketing team and 5-10 programmers, does it really need 50 million dollars for one year of development? Its a ridiculous notion.
-
Hard cap is hard and soft cap is soft. ;D ;D
Seriously, hard cap is the average price of the team of an ICO to say that their project is successful if they reach it. But sometimes it is hard to reach because the it is too much high. Although they can not reach the hard cap as long as they reach the soft cap project must go on.
Here is my opinion to a high hard cap. Don't invest to it if you think it will be possible to reach because that means project will not succeed.
-
as I know, every project has a sales target of a token created. the initial target of sales or ICO is called soft cap, and the maximum sales target of total token supply is called hardcap, all can be completed or achieved through several sales phases or ICO :)
-
Soft Cap - Minimum fund required for the project/ICO to proceed. If the Softcap is not achieved, the project will not move any further and the investments will be returned to the investors.
Hard Cap - Maximum Fund required for the project/ICO. If the project raised the Hardcap, the Crowdsale will automatically close and the development process starts right away.
For instance, let's see VRT world, This ICO has a soft cap around 3.5 million and a hard cap of 16 million. This means that if the project does not attain 3.5 million it will not proceed and also if it reaches 16 million no more can be contributed.

Yes of course, To follow a campaign, you should see if the project has softcap and hardcap or not? if the project does not have it all how to know the project it will work or not?
-
Soft cap is the minimum target sale of an ICO. Then the hard cap is the maximum target sale to be reached.
-
Soft Cap is the minimum funds required by the ICO or the Project to continue, if the Softcap is not reached, the project will not move and the funds will be returned to the investor. Hard Cap is the maximum funds needed by the ICO or Project. if using a hard cap, the crowdsale will automatically close and the development process starts immediately.
-
Soft Cap: Minimum fund required for the project/ICO to proceed. If the Softcap is not achieved, the project will not move any further and the investments will be returned to the investors.
Hard Cap: Maximum Fund required for the project/ICO. If the project raised the Hardcap, the Crowdsale will automatically close and the development process starts right away.
-
Softcap is the absolute minimum they need to go forward with the project, hard cap is when they stop the ICO because they met what they need to succeed

Think the basic answer to this question has already been given above, but just wanted to add a couple of things. Gone are the days when projects were hitting hard caps on a regular basis, which basically meant there would be almost guaranteed demand when it hit the exchanges. Now it seems to be a struggle for even the most promising projects to reach their soft caps, and this invariably ends with the coin/token being listed at below the ICO price. I tend to avoid investing in any ICOs now, but I do keep an eye on projects that interest me, as sometimes I can pick them up at a much cheaper price on an exchange. Not hitting a hard cap is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the project has enough working capital, then enough progress should be made to bring them to the next level of investment. It actually helps to pinpoint projects which have little to no use, a key ingredient for potential investors.

Yes I totally agree with you, but even in this bear market there has been projects that reached hard cap. During the bull market every crappy project with nothing to offer would rise millions and reach hard cap. Now you reach the hard cap only if the project is truly good.

Thanks, clearly explained and concise.

It is like fuel in both meanings. First one is the one you sip it for car to go and othet is full tank with sky-limit expectations.

Soft Cap is a minimal target of the sale of an ICO project. While the hard cap is that the maximum target specified in the ICO sales. And this becomes an indicator for the success or not the ICO project.
