Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / Review of Dataeum: Putting Humans at the Center of the Data Ecosystem

« on: July 07, 2018, 01:08:18 PM »

Dataeum: Putting Humans at the Center of the Data Ecosystem

Dataeum is a blockchain-based platform that uses crowdsourcing to enable the accurate collection of physical data anywhere in the world. It does this using a mobile app and a distributed workforce of “collectors” who are incentivized in XDT tokens to submit physical data (stores, ATMs, gas stations, traffic signs, landmarks, etc.). Once validated through a decentralized process, the data is accessible to data consumers on the Dataeum marketplace.

Data is the New Oil

The global data market is estimated to be worth over 3 Trillion Dollars USD and 90% of this data has been produced over the last two years. However, upwards of 80% of online listings currently display inaccurate or missing data, and only 0.5% of all the data available has ever been analyzed and used. Who creates this data? Without realizing it, humans have become instruments of data collection through their online actions, behaviors and movements, creating value for others.

Dataeum aims to disrupt the existing paradigm and overcome the limits of current data generation methods (database matching, content analysis, tracking devices, etc.) using a blockchain-based platform to enable the collection of global physical data with 100% accuracy. In the process, Dataeum will put humans at the center of the data ecosystem. Data users can obtain reliable and accurate data in real time and data collectors are rewarded for the data they generate. Dataeum’s whitepaper claims that the by using a mobile app, the solution has already proven its efficiency and profitability during three collection campaigns completed in Paris, Barcelona and London where 300 000 physical data were successfully collected.

Use Cases

Dateum’s whitepaper offers several convincing examples of use cases for its product.

Market Research: Urban planners may want to access locations of trees, benches, street, road signs, etc. for future city planning purposes. The Dataeum platform can provide this highly accurate information.

People: Thanks to power of crowdsourcing, Dataeum will bring the value of data to the people.

Maps and Geolocation Services: Companies like Google Maps, Bing, Tomtom, Baidu, OpenStreetMap, and Here map will be provided an API where they can plug in and get real-time updates on global physical data. This will increase the quality of service delivered to their users.

Emergency Response: Any type of risk (car accident, chemical leak, natural disaster, crime in progress, etc.) can be updated by the community anywhere in the world. This will alert the community to potential dangers and facilitate rapid intervention by the appropriate authorities.

Targeted Advertising: Businesses need to address very specific audiences and access to accurate data. For example, if a company is selling cash registers, it might want all the phone numbers of small businesses that opened in a given city in the past 6 months. This information will be accessible in the Dataeum marketplace.

Online Visibility: To increase online presence, local stores need to be accurately listed. The community will provide this information to mapping services so that these stores can better compete with large companies.

Conclusion

There are two central benefits of Dataeum. First, humans are rewarded for the data they generate. This changes the existing paradigm of data generation currently exploited by large corporations at the expense of individuals. Second, the crowdsourcing model will address the inaccuracies of digital data, making it more useful for data consumers. Human users will be the main resource (as opposed to centralized social media platforms, like Facebook) as they will be paid to collect, verify and update millions of physical data around the globe. Thereafter, each validated data point will be available on a decentralized marketplace that will allow any token holder to retrieve data for consultation, rental, or acquisition. If the project is able to deliver on its app, Dataeum has a lot of potential.

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / Depository Network: Digital Assets as Loan Collateral

« on: July 05, 2018, 03:23:57 PM »

Depository Network: Digital Assets as Loan Collateral

The easiest way to describe the Depository Network is that it combines traditional lending and blockchain technology. DEPO is a decentralized depository service for banks and other money-lending institutions (sub-prime lenders, consumer finance companies, crypto lenders and P2P lending platforms) world-wide that allows them to accept digital assets as loan collateral. Thereby, unlocking the financial value of the cryptocurrency market, estimated at roughly $400 billion. Considering this untapped value, it is no wonder that the financial industry is looking at crypto as the new collateral. Will digital asset lending become the new norm? If so, how are fin-tech companies going to secure digital asset collateral in a viable marketplace? This article will explore how the Depository Network intends to answer both questions.

What Needs does DEPO Meet?

The development of the Internet has led to the creation of digital assets. A digital asset is anything that exists in a binary format and includes usage rights. Examples include cryptocurrencies, tokens, asset tokens, tokenized shares, and digital bonds. These globally are traded assets that have seen a dramatic rise in value with predictions of more massive growth in years to come. In addition to newly created blockchain assets, we are witnessing the beginning of blockchain digitalization of a huge number of assets from the traditional economy. In the near future, all commercial assets and shares, and most corporate bonds, government securities and globally-traded derivatives could be digitized or tokenized - enabling anyone worldwide to access them.

The problem is that currently financial institutions use depository services for real asset collateral but no such depositories exist for digital assets. This results in locked financial value for a market with huge capitalization. Thus, how enable the value of digital assets and develop the necessary blockchain infrastructure for their use? On the one hand, digital assets do not have the necessary liquidity for borrowers to be able to take advantage of their value quickly and easily. Borrowers must sell these assets to take advantage of their value, which involves high fees/taxes and eliminates the opportunity to profit from these assets in the future. On the other hand, it is expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient for lenders and private companies to build their own digital asset depositories.

Unlocking the Value of Digital Assets

Enter: DEPO. Any lender can use the DEPO infrastructure to build custom depository platform and accept different types of digital assets as collateral. The terms for the collateral contracts are deﬁned by every lender individually. This service makes digital asset holders eligible for secure loans from certified banks or credit institutions. The system uses cryptographically-secure multi-signature wallets and smart contracts, and the borrower always has one of the keys for signing a transaction. Thus, holders retain ownership for the entire loan period.

What Makes DEPO unique?

There are several peer-to-peer lending platforms that accept certain types of cryptocurrencies – usually Bitcoin and Ethereum - as collateral for loans. However, these platforms work either as a marketplace connecting lenders with borrowers (thus bearing the entire risk for KYC and personal identification), or as lenders who use their own funds to issue loans to the borrowers. The DEPO model is very different. It does not provide loans directly, but enables lenders to integrate with the Depository Network and use it to accept digital assets as collateral. This avoids the risk of keeping personal data or having to be compliant with the regulations of different government – the lenders are responsible for this part. DEPO is solely providing a customizable solution to broaden their loan portfolio.

Token functions

The DEPO token will be used for lenders' annual membership. No membership is required from borrowers. The borrower will pay small fees for deposit collateral in every case. The total supply of DEPO tokens will be 3 billion with half being available for purchase through the token sale.

Conclusion

If successful, Depository Network will be the world`s first multi-platform network that enables digital assets to be used as collateral, which is crucial for mass adoption of using blockchain assets in traditional lending. DEPO would remove the need for state-owned, centralized depositories and allow any lending institution to build independent depositories within the system. At the same time, it would allow digital asset holders access to the full values of what they own. There is definitely a need for such a service but it remains to be seen whether DEPO will be the player that meets it successfully.

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / Review of Taurus0x Blockchain Smart Derivatives Trading Protocol

« on: June 28, 2018, 01:12:15 PM »

Bright Future for Taurus0x Blockchain Smart Derivatives Trading Protocol

Taurus0x is a California-based start-up company launching a blockchain-based protocol to power financial derivatives for any asset over any network. The project promises it will be “secure, decentralized, simple and transparent.” The platform is built on the Ethereum blockchain and works in a peer to peer network distributed via off-chain and on-chain protocols. The use of smart contracts eliminates the need to rely on a broker to trade assets. Reducing reliance on an intermediary reduces the risks and costs of derivatives trading. Moreover, the hybrid “off-chain orders, on-chain settlement” model enables any type of asset (not only cryptocurrencies) to work on the platform and makes the protocol capable of powering any centralized or decentralized exchange.

Blockchain Smart Derivatives Trading

The main benefits of this platform will become apparent to those who keep track of ICOs. Taurus is open source and 100% distributed. The project is not a cryptocurrency exchange but rather a base layer protocol that enables exchanges in the derivatives market, which means that the transactions are not limited to cryptocurrencies and the protocol can serve any independent app.

How it Works

The Taurus0x project was created by an open community on GitHub and is based on JavaScript and governed by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). Taurus0x works based on signed smart contracts. The protocol allows any entity to issue contracts secured by asymmetric cryptography. The user creates a signed smart derivative using the protocol to specify conditions and set an expiration date for the contract. The contract can then be shared. Anyone can take the contract, negotiate conditions, and sign it using the Taurus0x platform. After both parties have signed the contract, it goes to the Ethereum Blockchai and is executed when the conditions are met. Each transaction is stored forever on the blockchain, which allows exchanges to match orders and verify and publish transactions. Taurus0x uses dualsig peer to peer contracts which are created, signed and shared off-chain.

Future Plans

According to the whitepaper, the Taurus v1 platform and the Taurus0x API Service will be released in the third quarter of 2018. During this time, the project will also start pursuing exchange partnerships.

Taurus0x’s plans for 2019 include the release of an iOS and Android app early in the year and the release of Taurus v2 in the second quarter, along with DAO development and cross-chain development.

ICO Details

The project will soon be launching the Taurus0x platform on Betanet. It be fully functional and ready at the time of the beta launch, which is set for July 3rd, a few days before the token generation event. The first round of the main token sale will run from July 7 to July 26 with a 20% discount. 10,000 TAUR tokens will sell for 1 ETH (not including discounts). The total supply will be 250,000,000 TAUR. The hard cap is 20,408 ETH.

Conclusion

This is an interesting project because of the versatility of its products. The exchange protocol Taurus0x is developing is not limited to cryptocurrencies. It can be used for trading any kind of asset. The protocol will also work with centralized and decentralized platforms. The diversity of use cases for the Taurus0x platform bodes well for the success of the project.

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / Review of DeNet - Decentralized Webhosting and Data Storage

« on: June 26, 2018, 04:12:55 PM »

DeNet: blockchain-based web hosting and data storage

DeNet is a Hong Kong-based company with a development back-office in Kazan, Russia. The project is dedicated to developing a global blockchain-based decentralized data storage and web hosting service with a marketplace platform for storing and processing data. DeNet bills itself as a secure, cheap and high-quality ‘on-demand’ infrastructure with the goal of providing a one-stop secure decentralized web hosting and data storage service, which also rents out personal processing power for profit. Owners of server equipment (i.e. computers and personal digital devices) will be able to connect their processing power to the network and rent it out to DeNet clients as a way of generating passive income.

DeNet is one of a few new projects right now that are trying to address the fundamental inefficiency of the web hosting market, which is due to the non-use of free computing power. Blockchain technology promises to provide a solution to this problem by linking idle computing power to users in need, while at the same time offering a technological framework for applying the sharing economy concept to web hosting and data storage.

The premise of DeNet’s business plan is similar to other start-ups trying to fill similar market niches (web hosting and data storage) using blockchain technology. It is based on the fact that there is a vast amount of existing computing power that is not used efficiently (there are an estimated 4 billion personal computers in the world and 90% of them have free capacities that could be leased at any given moment). The goal of the DeNet platform is to harness this idle computing power and making it available to users for the purposes of file storage and web hosting. It will use a fee-based business model to generate income from renting vacant server capacities to private and corporate clients.

The whitepaper claims that the appeal for corporate clients is that hosting a website in the DeNet network will be significantly cheaper than current hosting market costs, thanks to decentralization and the absence of any geographic or communication limitation. The whitepaper also claims that the only thing necessary to work with a website using DeNet is a web browser (google, chrome, firefox, etc.). No need to download any extra apps. The key to DeNet's success will be if it can actually come through with this intention to offer a simple hosting service with clear and concise mechanisms that are accessible to all users, regardless of their level of skill or knowledge.

Security is also a major focus of the DeNet project. All data and information will be stored in an encrypted state with no central administrator. Each website’s information will be controlled only by the owner, so data storage is completely secure. Additionally, website files will be allocated on many servers to minimize the risk of errors, data loss, and site crashes.

Why does DeNet use tokens?

It doesn’t appear that the DeNet token is necessary for the functioning of the platform. Rather, tokens will be implemented as a universal currency for all network users regardless of their location. The dedicated utility token will help make sure that all transactions are fast and traceable.

Finally, DeNet is also currently running a bounty campaign in partnership with CX, an industry-leading bounty platform.

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / Project Review: Monarch Universal Crypto Wallet

« on: June 20, 2018, 05:49:27 PM »

Monarch: A Universal Crypto Wallet Ecosystem

The Monarch project bills itself as a “Total fiat-crypto exchange with a wallet and merchant plugin that offers recurring payments for monthly bills, on a proprietary blockchain with tokens continuously backed by silver.”

Sounds like a lot! Essentially, Monarch is one of several new projects competing to overcome existing barriers to widespread cryptocurrency adoption. These barriers are well-known: buying and selling digital currency - and then trying to cash out into fiat currency - is not simple and still requires a degree of technical knowledge. The crypto space poses a variety of risks in regards to the management of private keys and seed phrases, which can be easily lost or stolen. Finally, there is the possibility of financial losses related to market volatility and crypto asset devaluation.

How will Monarch overcome these barriers?

Ease of Adoption

The project will develop an easy to understand interface that allows users to add bank account information and exchange crypto assets with fiat currency from within the Monarch platform. Users will be able to buy or sell digital currency and transfer fiat currency back into their bank account. Monarch also has software (patent pending) that allows users to make recurring transactions and bill payments for online services (e.g. Netflix, Amazon), mortgages, car payments, phone bills, etc. The platform will also save addresses that users frequently transact with, just like PayPal or Venmo. To facilitate the use of crypto to buy goods and services, Monarch’s merchant plug-in will integrate any eCommerce Content Management System (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc.), allowing businesses to accept cryptocurrency as one-time or subscription payments.

Eliminating Security Risks

Monarch has two central security-related features. First, each user will have a cold wallet to which they will own the private keys. This will enable them to take advantage of hard-forks and use Ethereum-based tokens, while also maximizing security. Hot wallets will enable users to set recurring payments and for subscription based products or services. Second, the Monarch platform will have a password generation tool that will electronically store passwords, manage 2FA codes, cold storage wallet interfaces, cryptocurrency balances, private keys, and traditional fiat payments.

Buffering Market Volatility

To address market volatility the project plans to back their tokens with silver. Ten percent of the Monarch Security Token (MST) supply will be backed by silver, initially paid for by the proceeds from the token sale. Thereafter, ten percent of transaction fees in the ecosystem will be used to continuously buy physical silver until one ounce of silver backs each security token, ensuring that one day, with proper adoption, MST tokens will be fully backed by silver. Thus, buffering market volatility and crypto asset devaluation.

A Two-Token Structure

Monarch uses two tokens: The Monarch Security Token (MST) and the Monarch Utility Token (MT). The MST token allows holders to benefit from dividends. Fifty percent of Monarch Hot Wallet transaction fees will be distributed proportionally to MTS holders in the form of MT tokens. The MT token is also used as a transactional medium within the ecosystem to optimize the fee structure and payment remediation. Users will earn “cash back” for using MT to buy goods and services. While peer-to-peer MT transactions will be free, merchants who use Monarch Payment products (e.g. eCommerce Plugins for WordPress or Shopify) will pay 50% lower fees per transaction.

A Third Token?

During the token sale, Monarch is issuing a third type of token called Monarch Promo Token. Users will be eligible to earn Monarch Promo Tokens by using the Monarch App (soon to be available in the Apple Store) or helping to promote the project. The Promo tokens will be swapped 1-to-1 for Monarch Utility Tokens after the token generation event.

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / ICO Review of CyClean: An Electric Vehicle Renting Service

« on: June 18, 2018, 07:52:48 PM »

CyClean: An Electric Vehicle Renting Service using Blockchain Technology

The CyClean project is based on a simple idea. The car is one of the most widely used modes of transportation in the world, which up to now has run on gasoline. This is no longer sustainable and the car is evolving into an electric form. The CyClean project plans to connect its business fortunes to this historical and technological shift through creating a rental system of electric vehicles. The project’s whitepaper describes how it will develop its platform, conduct research, develop products (including a self-driving electric car!), and work to reward those who use their electric vehicles. The Cyclean platform will soft launch the rental service through smart contracts using the CyClean coin as the starting point and then expand the product line. Currently, CyClean’ s business model covers electric bicycles and electrical motorbikes but it seeks to expand to electrical cars as well.

There are some questions about user adoption that face CyClean. The current market for electric cars is small relative to gasoline vehicles. Without government investment and/or regulation, it seems hard to believe that this market will grow rapidly in the next 3-5 years. Moreover, there are already electric car cooperatives in various cities in North America that serve those who are interested in electric cars. Membership includes a monthly fee that gives access to electric rental cars, which can be reserved and parked anywhere in the city. It is an existing and inexpensive solution for people who only need a car occasionally and do not want the hassle and expense of keeping one in a large city. One wonders how CyClean plans to penetrate such markets? Admittedly, the company is based in South Korea and plans to focus on South Asian markets before expanding worldwide. So perhaps once it has established itself in South Asia it will look like a more realistic competitor for the existing options elsewhere in the world.

Another question with this project relates to the fact that its ultimate plan is to develop a self-driving electric car, which if successful would definitely be a draw for customers. However, considering the known challenges of self-driving technology and the fact that that the project has not yet begun research in this area, one wonders if the plan of having a working prototype in the 3-5 years is realistic.

One strength of the CyClean project is that the CyCoin token is already integrated with the JPAY platform. This is a strength because JPAY is currently used as a cryptocurrency payment system in South Korea. The JPAY platform has an established Kiosk system, MVNO smartphone business, as well as JPAY ATMS and member stores. Using JPAY, the CyCoin token will be used to pay rental and mobile service fees for electric bicycles and motorbikes, as well as other products that CyClean plans to launch down the road.

Mining

The project whitepaper also states that the Cyclean coin will be mineable, just by using CyClean products. For example, if a user rides a CyClean electric motorbike, the user gets coins based on the distance traveled. This form of mining will be made possible by server integration and a wireless network linking CyClean products.

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / Project Review: iProductivist

« on: June 13, 2018, 01:05:18 PM »

iProductivist: a new standard for smart manufacturing and production

Productivist’s Blockchain Project is launching new decentralised manufacturing services for individuals and private companies of any scale and creating a new standard for smart manufacturing production. The company is headquartered jointly in Nice, France and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Using blockchain technology, iProductivist is creating an open eco-system that will provide a remote, secure, efficient method of connecting manufacturers and their clients, ensuring not only secured contracts but also transparency in the manufacturing chain of command for all sectors. The project sees itself as part of “the Industrial Revolution 4.0” powered by open data streams whereby private individuals and companies of any scale can contribute. Productivist is correct that the manufacturing economy has not been able to take advantage of its increasingly global scale for various reasons, and this has resulted in waste and inefficiency. For example, the current international manufacturing economy has developed such that the only way for a company to prevail is through capital-heavy investments, frequent relocations, and aggressive management techniques. These aspects of global manufacturing create barriers for new companies and stakeholders to participate, while at the same time stifling innovation and wasting valuable capacities. The Productivist team wishes to respond to these problems by providing an open, free and global alternative.

iProductivist's grand vision involves manufacturing machines of all types being connected to the blockchain by the individuals and companies that control them. Their availability for use would be tracked in real time and connected to users in need of manufacturing services. The owners of the machines will be able to remotely access production schedules, while the clients can monitor their order’s progress. At a global scale, such a system would reduce waste and inefficiency, while optimally achieving an automatic balance of the supply of manufacturing capacity with production demand worldwide.

These ambitious plans are based on scaling up the success that Productivist has had in the area of 3D printing. In 2016, it created Freelabster.com, which is a collaborative network connecting 3D printer owners with potential clients. There are over 3000 certified freelabsters (companies or individuals) operating on the platform offering services for both private or industrial projects. The website boasts that the average request for service is filled in 3 minutes. The Productivist Blockchain Project plans to expand on the original Freelabster concept by providing access to various manufacturing capacities in addition to 3D printing through a smart contract protocols. Moreover, any platform would be able to use the Productivist blockchain and create their own branded and customized apps. An example is OpenWood, an app that shares resources among carpenters. Another is Happy3D, a 3D printer repair parts directory developed for Boulanger, a large retail chain in France.

Token Usage

The ProducToken will be used as a utility token on the blockchain to pay for products, modelling and design, as well as consulting services. Manufacturers will be able to decide either to be paid in PROD or in Fiat money. Fiat money received to purchase services through the Productivist’s ecosystem will be changed into PROD tokens. The value of PROD will rise depending on commercial usage of the Productivist ecosystem.

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / ICO Review: Forever Has Fallen

« on: June 13, 2018, 01:02:12 PM »

Forever Has Fallen: Transmedia storytelling linked to an online-offline economy

Forever Has Fallen is a global “transmedia” game that promises to give players an immersive experience through linking gameplay to interaction on social media, email, text messaging, websites and even real world events in the form of fan driven scavenger hunts, challenges, and meet-ups. The game also gives rise to an online/offline economy utilizing the Forever Coin utility token. As players progress through the game, they are rewarded with Forever Coin. In return, players are asked for special favours, research, and problem solving to advance the plot. Blockchain technology is used to create an immutable ledger for tracking player ranks and achievements, as well as ownership of in-game digital goods. Smart Contracts are used to reward players who contribute to and promote the game. The Forever Has Fallen project hopes that this online/offline economy will attract a high level of participation from players as their actions directly influence the value of the Forever Coin tokens.

The storyline behind Forever Has Fallen is compelling. Players must help uncover the truth behind the destruction of a billion-dollar start up known as The Forever Social (a social media platform that creates mass digital immortality) and the gruesome murder of one of its top executives. The main character in the game is Karl-Axel Mattiasson, the tech mastermind behind The Forever Social who is being framed for the crimes. Karl needs the player’s help to clear his name and find the real killer(s). When players complete tasks and help him solve the mystery to clear his name, Karl rewards them with the Forever Coin token.

Besides being integral to the in-game story, the Forever Coin is also a central part of an online/offline economy that extends beyond the game. The game contains a marketplace with digital goods and collectables that players can create, sell and buy. Players also produce content for the game by creating experiences for other players. They are rewarded for this with Forever Coin. The top content creators will be rewarded from a pool of 450,000,000 tokens (valued at approximately $45 million US) and from fellow players who buy and use their content. The project hopes that this model of player generated content will provide scalability allowing the game to become global while remaining fan-driven. The token will also be linked to various business partners, so players can eventually use the token offline to pay for offline experiences relevant to the game.

The team behind Forever Has Fallen have a significant amount of experience working in marketing, blockchain development, and transmedia & gamification. Some members of the team have worked with companies such as Sony, Warner Bros, LEGO, Disney and Microsoft.

Funding for Forever Has Fallen will come from an Initial Coin Offering in which 35% of the total supply of the utility token will be sold to generate funding to complete the game. The remaining token supply will be used to encourage participation in the game economy and adding value to the game over time.
