WEEKLY ICO REVIEW
28/08 - 03/09
Crowdsale opening date: 1st of September, running for a month
data integrity for supply chain operations, using blockchain technology (Ethereum for now) and IoTa
ICO: 60% of tokens available, $18 million hard cap, 1 USD = 1 MOD, payment in ETH or BTC, bonuses for early contributions
Good = whitepaper (short but detailed), team and partnerships, professionally done, busy Github, collaboration with IOTA
Average = I'm still not sure if companies will use it in real life...
Bad = no working product
Professionally done with good team and plan behind it. I really like how they are considering usage of other blockchains as well. Overall very solid product that might become huge with right partnerships and developments.

VERDICT: 8.5/10
Crowdsale opening date: 28th of August and ends on 2nd of October
financial inclusion platform that enables mass market consumers to access micro savings in investment grade gold through a mobile app
ICO: 1 billion tokens in total, divided into 3 parts separated by 12 months, during first round 18% of tokens available, slightly over 10k HGT per ETH, bonuses for early contributions, hard cap $9.6 million
Good = documentation (summary paper, tech whitepaper, whitepaper, business plan), team, professionally done, already an established product and company, working apps
Average = the of HGT and GBT token relationship might be confusing
Bad = I am not sure about diving the ICO into three parts
Great project. Extremely polished and well done product with very experienced team behind it. The only thing I am not sure if the actual platform becomes popular and whether people will want to use it.

VERDICT: 7.5/10
Crowdsale opening date: 30th of August and closes on 14th of October
Blockchain token based crowdfunding/crowdsourcing platform
ICO: 1 billion tokens in total, 12.5% of tokens available, $10 million hard cap, amount of STAR each individual buyer receives is determined by how much Starbase is able to raise
Good = documentation (whitepaper, faq, other), professionally done, team is actively hiring
Average = team is still small, there is plenty of competition
Bad = 75% of tokens locked by company
Really good project, extremely polished and probably the most promising crowdfunding platform so far. I really dislike how 75% will remain in the company and only 12.5 will be sold in the crowdsale - just really greedy. Still, incredibly well done project.

VERDICT: 7.5/10
Crowdsale opening date: 28th of August and ends on 11th of September
blockchain based search engine for products
ICO: 100 million tokens in total, two ICO rounds, in this 25% of tokens available, $10 million hard cap, bonuses for early purchases, 1 AHT = $0.15 - $0.4
Good = brilliant idea, whitepaper, working product
Average = team is farily unknown
Bad = only 25% tokens available, product is not that great currently
Fairly promising project with working product. Not a big fan of the ICO conditions and the fact that there will be a second ICO next year. The product doesn't work that great at the moment.

ICO starting on 29th of August
platform for ICO, crowdinvesting & crowdfunding powered by smart contracts
ICO: 800 mil tokens in total, 600 available in the ICO, looking to raise 70k ETH (around $22 milion) with hard cap of 200k ETH ($64 million), new tokens created after the ICO
Good = already working product, whitepaper, roadmap, FAQ, large team
Average = there is plenty of competition
Bad = don't like the bonus token creation after ICO, greedy ICO
Nicely done crowdfunding platform that already works and has projects on it. I dislike that new tokens will be created after the ICO and the fact that soft and hard caps are quite high.

ICO starting on 31st of August, will run for 30 days
real estate crowdfunding base, allows people to invest into real estate and receive theshare of the rental profits that the real estate asset generates
ICO: 51% of tokens available in the sale, 220 per 1 ETH, bonuses for early participants, soft cap 100k ETH (around $32 million), hard cap 200k (around $64 million), hard cap will begin if soft cap is hit within the first six hours
Good = whitepaper, Github is there, everything is really professionally done, really interesting idea
Average = roadmap
Bad = greedy ICO conditions
While the ICO conditions do appear greedy, everything else is really promising and profesionally done. I believe using crypto to invest into real estate might be a very good usage of blockchain that will generate money for both token holders and the company behind the idea.

Reality clash is an augmented reality FPS combat game. Token buyers will get free bonus coins, plus a massive discount on the price of the coins from the shop
ICO: 33% of tokens available in the sale + bonus coins, looking to raise $2.5 million, hard cap is there but not stated anywhere?
Good = seems to be well planned project with everything described in detail, whitepaper
Average = roadmap
Bad = no actual game yet, ICO coin distribution confusing
It all depends how good the game is. While the project seems to be quite well planned so far the coins might be worthless if the game sucks since there won't be any players. In whitepaper the game compares themselves to Pokemon Go or Call of Duty but those are big franchises - Reality Clash is unknown

integrative cryptocurrency wallet, ATMs around the world and debit card
ICO: hard cap of $12.5 million, 45% of tokens sold, bonuses for early purchases
Good = ambitious?
Average = website is okay
Bad = generic whitepaper without much information, greedy ICO, team doesn't have anything to show
Why would you invest in this instead of investing into TenX, Monaco, TokenCard or Centra? The project is ambitious but doesn't really have anything to show for now and the team is not known either.

Avalon Platfo...
ICO starting on 1st September, ending September 29th
Japan's first social media platform using blockchain technology inspired by Steem
ICO: 50% of tokens available, looking to raise $3.5 million, hard cap $30 million, bonuses for early purchases
Good = whitepaper, Github is busy, project is well planned
Average = roadmap
Bad = why wouldn't Japanese just use STEEM?, hard cap is a bit high
Esentially a Japanese version of STEEM. Similar to Russian Golos although Golos is a direct copy of STEEM. Golos is doing fine so as long as the team behind Alis can pull it off the project should be successful and can become huge in Japan.

Ammbr is a wireless mesh network built on blockchain. Bandwidth is traded 24/7 in an autonomous market
ICO: 60% of tokens available, looking to raise around $5 million, no hard cap, bonuses for early purchases
Good = whitepaper, good team, really detailed plan
Average = roadmap, might be too ambitious?
Bad = with how cheap the data is nowadays I am not certain if the project will catch up, no hard cap
Really, really ambitious project. Based on the whitepaper it's planned really well but I am not certain if there is a need for it. Mobile data is widely available and cheap nowadays so why bother with using blockchain?
