I think we should not discuss ICO anymore, because the ICO period has ended and as we know that at this time IEO is a new thing replacing ICO. I think IEO is better than ICO.

You are right, IEO is better than ICO.
We cannot forbid people to talk about ICO, in fact also that investors will prefer IEO over ICO.
But behind the better IEO, there are still a number of projects that are currently doing ICO.

When you day a successful project, what do you mean? What standard do you use in measuring a blockchain-based project? If you say 'hype' then you're most likely judging the price or the ICO our IEO the project organised. I can assure you that price or funds raised is by no means a measure of a successful project. The project might have had a successful price pump or Crowdsale but if it doesn't achieve it's target which it set out in its roadmap, it is unsuccessful.

Good question. For a lot of projects these days, successful just means they manage to raise above or equal to their ICO soft cap. But in terms of actual product, meeting the roadmap and achieving any objectives, almost no project has done this, or they keep revising their stuff to make the objective seem like they are achieved (as in, if we did X, let us change objective Y into X so it looks like we succeeded). Such a sad state of affairs, to be honest!

Another is getting on reputable exchange with a great hype as Binance. Let's not forget most projects has great idea and reputable team members probably from past successful projects or just successful individuals. Hype alone doesn't do it but substance inclusive makes the difference.

HYPE was created because of good marketing, not only about spreading news through websites and press releases, but also about how to disseminate information through social media groups, most ICO that HYPE is known for are group by social media such as telegram, although this is indeed quite annoying because of spam, but in reality this succeeded in making HYPE bigger. and this is usually based on a strong community.

We have noticed that a lot of successful ICOs have exhibited common factors. One of these is their use of hype. Another is a detailed presentation of the company's roadmap.

Looking at the crypto space now, hype does not really say that the ICO is gonna be successful. ICO projects that have the potential of becoming successful are projects that have workable products which act as the backbone of the project. These products must solve a particular challenge seen in either the financial ecosystem or crypto ecosystem. With such projects, investors will be willing to invest in. The success of an ICO project is when investors invest in it massively.

Hype is indeed not one way to be an ICO success, it is only as a suggestion for more promotion. With Hype people will see and recognize more deeply. The rest, it depends on the product. Exactly what minersday said. I really really agree with a project that has a superior product.

The two factors you just listed are not a guarantee for a success project these days. Times have changed and people are non-longer moved by HYPE and ROAD MAPs.

my experience is that the price of tokens is expensive, so the number of tokens allocated is not too much.
With a few tokens but the exchange rate against $ USD is high, I think the results are still pretty good.
For example, the total amount you get is 1000 tokens but the success of the ICO project can only reach 1 token = 0.01 $, the result will be smaller than you get 10 tokens where the ICO project successfully penetrated 1 token = 10 $.
I personally will pay more attention to ICO projects that have a good concept, and not just look at the number of token allocations distributed.

I agree with you. To understand whether a project is successful, time must pass. Take a look at any of the coins from the top 100.
of these projects can be called successful. What will unite all these projects which, after years, still hold their positions in the leaders of the crypto market? I think the main thing is the idea and the working team.

Having a professional and reliable team is the most important thing that every ICO / IEO project must have, because without a professional team, often the project Will fail and die. Furthermore, their mission and vision must be clear and logical without make doubt for us.

This is the hardest part.. Detecting the professional team itself, it's really hard since they can make fake linkedin and some of them talk like an experinced crypto person.
We need to approach them deeply to make sure they know what they are doing

Yeah, this is too much difficult to find out which core teams are solid because they used fake social network with a lot of fake information to attract investors. But when you will do research with whitepaper and overall the project than many things you can be detect their lack of experience. Fake team and copy/paste whitepaper you can trace after your analysis. Also a lot of scam detector members in this forum. I think professional team is the big factor to success in any ICO.

Scammers are smart enough to make a good team and an eye-catchy whitepaper. I saw some big project's whitepaper has copied words but they gave credits/reference of the source. Scam projects are doing the same now. Therefore, if you spend a few hundred bucks, you can get a perfect whitepaper with perfect team members. Therefore, nowadays telegram active members can be bought, so, you can prove that you have an active community. This is not the end, you can buy social channels, accounts from some online marketplace. I have been looking very carefully over some projects and then I confirmed this information. That's why nowadays I only care about a project's verified partners, big media coverage, live AMA, active twitter page with events, updated and LinkedIn account history.

You forgot the most important part of successful ICO's which are detailed whitepaper and solid marketing strategies. Without these two, ICO's will not become successful.

Right now, hype is not very useful as investors already knows this kind of tactics especially if the hype is very obvious.

But hype is among the primary things that marketing is trying to create. In my observation, hype is the next important thing that could promote a project after the quality of the product itself. Because solid marketing strategies will not really convince some investors if the project itself has a poor product to offer. Even if the marketing strategists make it very solid that the brand is reaching all potential investors, by the time these investors take a look at what the project is offering and they see the poor product, they will not invest.

Hype is almost guaranteed at every ICO now, but it's actually easy to see which hype is real and which isn't (which is paid, shilled, and which actually has real and authentic joy and amazement from the community).

But that said, neither of them seem to be any marker for a successful token. ICO raises aside, which hype has been met that I can recall? Monaco? Bittorrent? EOS? Nada.

OP didn't bother to specify the 5 things successful ICO's have in common as per his thread title. Anyway, here is my list which I think are the characteristics successful ICO's have in common:

1. The project had an original idea and a sound business model.
2. The project had released a working product or may have already had an MVP right from the start.
3. The project had an active Github repository.
4. The development team are very capable in developing the product.
5. The team's identities are verifiable and publicly known.
6. The project have a realistic roadmap.
7. The team give utmost importance to their promises and perform deliverables in time.
8. The team are exercising enough transparency on project related matters.
9. The project's tokenomics are excellent and justifiable.
10. The project have positive peer reviews among trustworthy members of the community.

Very few ICo achieved such points, most ICOs at this time tried to advertise exaggeratedly to attract investors.
If there are any ICOs that meet these 10 criteria, I will not hesitate to invest in them.

The success of the project depends on the developer and also the project team, simply if the team and the developer cannot manage their project properly and cannot attract market investment, of course the project is difficult to develop. So, there are many important factors for the success of a project, especially the performance of the team and also the project developer.

From what I understand, most successful ICOs are projects that have good communication with their communities. New projects that are informative and also have a roadmap and whitepaper that are realistic are more attractive to investors because the community needs information about the progress of the project being worked on

Investors are very important and presenting the potentials of the project to attract investors is the key to have a successful ICO's. The point of introducing your project with clear road plans and have a decency to keep updating the communities. It will bring prosperity and in the long process
more investors will follow the project and store the coin for much higher value.

In regards to hypes. It helps in the short run but nowadays investors is knowledgeable they will not follow unless they see the positive prospects.

Sold out is the most important with success ICO, without raised sold out on hard cap ICO can failed because they can't pay fee for listing on exchange market, other thing to success ICO is have good team and owner want to work hard for listing with big market, if success sold without listing with big market ICO will failed with lower price after listing, the last thing maybe have continue with the ICO coin how wver after listing team and to update and get new feature with their ICO coin.

Theres probably a lot of things successful ICOs have in common. However, it should only be one thing that should set them apart, and that is PURPOSE. Any new ICOs or projects should be solving a real problem in the real world.

Without such, the ICO is not heading towards success or anything at all.

I think your statement is true that we often find hundreds of projects that have real concepts or goals, but in reality they don't match the information on their road map. team and dev are important roles in a project, but now the opposite, many teams and dev cheat in managing their project is not right.

2. Solid Team

3. Roadmap

4. Working Product

5. Hype

In addition to what you have mentioned above, I think the project partners are also an extremely important factor. Investors also appreciate the good partners that the project has. In addition to the current IEO trend, the IEO on any exchange will determine the success of the project.

In my opinion, the things that make ICO successful is not enough to use their hype or detailed presentation of the company's roadmap. But it must have something unique and different from ICO in general, so with the uniqueness will attract people's attention. if people are interested, they will definitely join the ICO project And no less important is the financial strategy, because good projects must be able to fund the project itself without being dependent on investors. And finally marketing strategy, the success of projects depends marketing team to introduce its products well. In order to be well received too. Another reason servants do not only until the sale of TOKEN but until the coins enter the exchanges.

For me succesful ICOs are those that come up with unique idea that has real world use cases and acceptance, secondly real team with relevant experience is a must, thirdly some big names as advisors to hype up the ico works wonders, fourth the size of the community at major social media channels and the activity of the team at these channels is very important, lastly proactiveness of the team and developers both in regard to product development and investor or customer relations is important where issues like listing on exchanges etc are done in a timely manner.

I also think having a rare idea is most necessary factor. Always the same products and promises shake the reliance as time goes by. Surely, only the rare product is not enough, a realistic roadmap and a experienced team that can implement it. IMO all of this could be enough for a successful project. But the big name advisors and the number of communities are unnecessary. Once the project is good, both the advisors and the community will increase by themselves.

The main thing for any ICOs project is financing. No funding - no implementation.
Therefore, first of all, you should pay attention to partners and also whether the project has external investors who will provide initial capital for the start of the project.
Also, no harm will be familiar with how the project is going to distribute the funds, sometimes immediately clear financial strategy and whether it will be successful.

How is it possible to know the information about external investors of the project? Have you ever tried to do such an analysis by yourself? I do not think this item can be checked.

You talked about 5 successful things that ICO have in common and yet you only listed 2 here, so you are leaving us with just two to talk on. Nevertheless, I think you are right about it, one thing they have in common that is destroying them is hype. I prefer a project to grow to the level where the hype will come by itself and not the one that people artificially create hype for it, which is why you see that they all fail along the line.

Hype fails them a lot because people will only be invited to take a look at what benefit the coin can give financially and not the product itself, if the hype was on the product, then they would have gotten people using the coin product itself than just investing to expect some sort of cash to come out of it without them asking how the product is generating fund exactly.

The product of the project, its relevance to reality and the strong team that can create it are important factors. Promising roadmap after they are applied, and at the end IEO in top exchange. I do not think ICOs have been effective lately. Projects should always pay attention to market demand for better sales, so IEOs are preferred.

Hype no longer works that much now, the community has already learned a lot from what happened during the ICO days where it's easy to build hype because of influencers and rating sites that you can pay to give you the hype needed. What those well-funded projects should do is to focus on marketing their product once it's ready and platform development. They are making system where people can develop for crypto and contribute anything that their skillsets have to help the coin's progress. It's also true that roadmap is important since that's where we can tell if a project has a realistic goal or not.

Regardless of what they have in common, people should be eager to research before investing in. Libra had all the hype in the world but was somehow blocked by governments and it doesn't taste well on investors' mouth.

Because I believe that assuming those ten items listed previously are satisfied with, in the end, the project will still falter just like what happened to most projects after the crypto winter of 2018. Imho.

true, I think that many icos were holding the eth they received at all time highs. It is rare to see a project with all these details resolved, unfortunately. And even an original idea needs to be well executed, many projects fail here. They need a MVP from the start and bring real users to test.

Surprisingly, I'd actually agree with this statement.

As Machiavellian as it sounds, what a lot of good projects struggle with is their PR and the presentation of their project, which eventually leads to no community interest and an eventual decline in total market engagement with their coin.

A successful project MUST have a good marketing team to back up an already good product, and you'll see that being the case with EOS, TRON, etc. But don't forget that a solid WP, roadmap, and team are all prerequisites.

We have noticed that a lot of successful ICOs have exhibited common factors. One of these is their use of hype. Another is a detailed presentation of the company's roadmap.

So, you mentioned 5 things that became an ICO success, but you mentioned only two. And what is your problem here at the ICO? Grin

The roadmap is only planning them based on time. Roadmap to prove the seriousness of project developers in completing their projects. It is not a measure of whether the project is successful or not.

Did you just say hype? You're wrong man. There is nothing like hype when it comes to a project being successful. These days I have seen a lot of projects that get hyped and at the end they turn out to be a failure, that's why you have to be very careful. Avoid hype project, do your own proper research and don't be too quick to believe what people has to say because some of them are paid to hype fake projects.

If you want to know whether a project is going to be successful you should first of all check the whitepaper, that's the first thing almost everyone checks when they see a project online. The next thing you should check is their team. There are some projects that claim team members that are in no affiliation with the project at hand. You should do more research even after that, and also you should consider their public information. If they are hiding information that should be available to investors, then there is something wrong.

Being successful has nothing to do with hype, it's mainly fake projects that gets hyped and at the end you will come to realize that it's not worth it. You have to be careful and trust whatever you see at first glance.

I agree with that, we can say that the market in 2017 is all about hype but right now investors have learned in their past mistake. They will not invest in a certain project due to hype. They already learn how to make their own due diligence in selecting the best projects who have a legit team and viable product.

Consistency is what an ICO need in order to be successful. In my opinion, though there's allot of ICO's running in the market eveytime, what they need is to be able to follow their whitepaper and roadmap. changing much of their information affects mainly the trust of the investors. If they are going to be consistent, people will follow, as so success in their business.

There are many things to support the success of an ICO. Quality of the team members, MVPs, marketing strategy, funds, strong community, and others. Which one do you think the common things?

this applies in the past, just like in 2017
but for now, its hard to find a good and succesful ICO project mate
most of project move from ICO to IEO known as an evolution on crowdfunding methode in crypto industry my friend
maybe in the future a new methode to collect money from investors will show up after the hype on IEO ended

Maybe not good moment right now with ICOs because almost ICO have listed at exchange market always lower price than coin sell on ICO, price fantastic drop lower than 50% than coin when ICO time, maybe you can take rest a moment with ICOs investment and use your money only for trading with altcoin.

IMO, those conditions previously mentioned can be generally applied in one way or the other to all crypto projects regardless on what type of funding activity they have conducted whether its an ICO, IEO or STO respectively.

Though I know those conditions or list looks like very idealistic, and I assume those are the things that needs to be realized first, but in reality, I doubt those conditions could ever be satisfied all at once since I understand that no project is perfect! Initially, we could just use them as a criteria or use them to identify signs or measure a project's probability of success to guide us accordingly.

i think there has to be a good project as first which actually draw what the move about the product would be , nd then comes the team who will drive this ideas to reality by actualising the dream but identify the problem and be able to come up with solution which is the main idea of it all why the community also do a lot more about it be able to survive by buying and selling for the purpose in whch it is built and the final stage is the exchange which has to be a very great and good one that can generate volume for the coin to boom.

OP didn't bother to specify the 5 things successful ICO's have in common as per his thread title. Anyway, here is my list which I think are the characteristics successful ICO's have in common:

1. The project had an original idea and a sound business model.
2. The project had released a working product or may have already had an MVP right from the start.
3. The project had an active Github repository.
4. The development team are very capable in developing the product.
5. The team's identities are verifiable and publicly known.
6. The project have a realistic roadmap.
7. The team give utmost importance to their promises and perform deliverables in time.
8. The team are exercising enough transparency on project related matters.
9. The the project's tokenomics are excellent and justifiable.
10. The project have positive peer reviews among trustworthy members of the community.

Actually these are the answers to my previous post - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51103208 related to criteria in determining the viability of an ICO.

This is pretty much the sum total of everything. ICOs will have all of these ten points for them to at least come up to the surface amidst high competition in the ICO/IEO market. Although at this particular point, originality is hard to find. There are so many projects that are copies of existing ones. But it does not mean that they are already doomed to fail. They could actually improve an existing project to a certain point that their version is going to be the preferred one. Finally, marketing matters. Hype is an effective tool. Even good projects could fail without these.

that's 10.

also some of them have great advisors that is known to the community even before their project was announced. the concept of the project is very doable that online users can possibly make use of it once the product is launched. but then all of them even the not successful ICO team had in common with the team who successfully did their ICO, they all want MONEY!

Ooops! Btw, I forgot to include one of the most important characteristic which I think is critical for a project to become successful and that is the project team must have a very good financial planning! Because I believe that assuming those ten items listed previously are satisfied with, in the end, the project will still falter just like what happened to most projects after the crypto winter of 2018. Imho.

what links/blogs are they talking about ? did you edit your post op ? but back on the topic , hype is important because hype shows that you have a good budget to promote your project and not only that but hype occurs when people notice and get attracted to your project but not all those who hyped have becamed succesful , others still failed after the hyped subsided . id say that most hyped projects are only for temporary but look at those old projects , they arent hype but they are still on the limelight . about the second one which is detailed presentation ? that is important but that can be easily faked

Hype is not the factor because it has already generated from how icos can do a good marketing to spread the words among the crypto users.
but you can do a better thing rather than to create a discussiong thread for shilling purpose only.
We have a lot of factors just like small hardcap, MVP and many more.

IMO, 5 other things that need to be seen to determine whether a project is successful or not.

1. New concepts that are needed now
2. A strong, experienced, active, and professional team.
3. Clear whitepaper and roadmap
4. Having/developing a product
5 And have strong partners in terms of markets and others.

out of those 5 things, I think those are things that are usually noticed.

however, I think there are very many criteria that need to be considered in a project.

What ever their common I don't care about that because maybe even the scam ICO have that and for sure they many blind investors until now are losing their money because they still investing to ICO. But maybe this is a big help them for them but there is no specific details that the ICO are possible to become successful. Just follow your instinct that you think what ICO is good.

I don't know about hype being effective these days. Investors have gone beyond that already and most are now looking for products that can actually solve something (working product with real use case).

No fancy presentation will work either without the above.

Successful ICO have a very influential insiders. They have access and have influence to lists of millionaires. I can set FB as an example. Due to the people behind the Libra project is very influential, they cater several tycoons to pledge a support in their project. Same goes to other ICO, check the project of NXT, due to the fact that developer of this token is very influential and popular that time, almost all their launched ICO, with the same people behind NXT, gathered millions of dollar for their crowdfunding.

Hype, presentation, solid team , whitepaper, I think these are just for show, many ICO have these even better than those who are successful but yet failed. What they lacking is influence.

I'm sorry OP I can't find the 5 things successful ICOs have in common with your given state. It only presents the hype and roadmap. Apparently, you are promoting your project. In order for your project to be successful, be sure for your project to be timely and you already have a work in progress, or there is a product already. And be sure NOT TO SCAM ANYONE. Another suggestion is to take an IEO rather than ICO for us to be sure that you are not going to scam anyone.

Having a professional and reliable team is the most important thing that every ICO / IEO project must have, because without a professional team, often the project Will fail and die. Furthermore, their mission and vision must be clear and logical without make doubt for us.

This is the hardest part.. Detecting the professional team itself, it's really hard since they can make fake linkedin and some of them talk like an experinced crypto person.
We need to approach them deeply to make sure they're know what they are doing

That hype can be negative to a project once that hype was ended and price declining there should be a buy support at lower price or else the coin will get no value and be dead.
Detailed presentation can be help but not sure it will always good since there are many good roadmap has been presented before . Has a working project is much better than having a detailed roadmap.

Roadmap is very small factor and can not be the main factor why they are successful.
The idea behind them certainly is very important and it is closely tied to hype. In certain periods some type of project has much more attention , in some periods it is " atom" swaps, there was a crypto credit card hype and etc.
The common thing for projects is listing, those projects which are not cheap and invest in listing, end up being succesful much more often than those who dont.

Using 'hype' to succeed an ico for the time being is no longer effective. Because investors have lost the desire to put their money into new projects even though many say this project is good, many advisors, supported by, and others. Because to create 'hype', shitcoins can do it too.

The most important thing is tangible evidence such as products that have clear uses. There are benefits right then.

The hype of ICOs nowadays are long gone and investors already learn about their past mistakes way back 2017-2018. No one invests in projects that have no MVP or a working product. Investors always apply their own due diligence on the project they want to invest to. And it is good for those scam projects to finally vanished and let the good and amazing projects shine again.

Anything can be hyped, scam projects especially. One of the easiest way to get you fingers burnt is to focus on the hype, buy the hype and then see tokens dump 95 per cent or more the very day they hit exchange. Most of the projects that were hyped in the past were not able to deliver value to their investors and users. Focus on the quality of project and the integrity/expertise of the team rather
