The first professional digital rating agency DigRate has assigned Fair Quality Rate to Naxatu project.

Naxatu is the first ICO project in the world aiming at an apartment purchase in Kiev without deception and unnecessary hype.

Resourceful programmer Maxim Tymchik wants to raise dough honestly and quickly to buy real estate in Kiev. The project founder notes that the painful price per square metre of floor space force the average farmer to work for 20 years to get decent house. Thus, the project does not present any product, but carries an ideological value - many a mickle makes a hut.

The business model of the project ensures nothing for investors, but the author promises to hold a party for major tokens holders (but not in the hut, since all people will not fit).

The project team represented by the sole representative Maxim Tymchik is quite balanced (unless the programmer in desperate need of his own cozy spot does not have an identity disorder). Maxim is the head that wears many hats. He performs the functions of the founder, developer, designer, content manager, he will even pray for you if you donated. Such number of functions assigned to one person makes one wonder, but not in this case! This guy is like really handsome modern Sherlock Holmes, and there is no doubt about his professional qualities of the programmer and the ability to implement the sassy project concept.

In addition, the project managed to attract a number of very unknown and unconcerned advisers (foreman, accountant and homeless person) and it also did not bother several very large partners who still do not know about the existence of the Naxatu project.

Strangely enough, Naxatu is surrounded by a rich competitive landscape. The title of the most honest ICO with a useless token also has several applicants, for example, the project of another Maxim (Novikov) with the fair name shittoken. Maxims is now on fire.

Despite the fact that with the help of XATA tokens it will be possible to vote for each new bottle in the collection of the future Maxim’s bar, the value of the tokens is still comparable to the value of dust on the telly. Maxim describes the value of XATA ownership very easily: "Maybe, at first glance, XATA tokens will seem to be useless. Well, that's the way it is. " Nevertheless, tokens will be a reward to investors, at least they must get something. In addition, the names of all investors who wish to disclose their personalities will be written on one of the walls of the future hut of the project's founder, that will give XATA a special social significance.

Legal documents for the ICO are optional, according to the founder. There is no need to develop a Privacy Policy since personal information of users is not requested when purchasing tokens. However, the lack of Token Sale Agreement and KYC policy can create a serious threat to the project from the SEC. Taking into account the fact that probability of the purchase of XATA tokens by an accredited American investor is of 0.0000001%, the SEC's threat is more than real.

In general, the merger of blockchain and crowdfunding for the hut purchase is a quite logical and correct step. Collecting money with the help of the project will settle the matter of a lifetime, and Maxim will be able to concentrate on other more important and interesting things (for example, to build a dacha or birdhouses). The XATA token has every chance to never appear on exchanges and not to become a speculators’ tool in its turn.

Introducing Crypto Laboratory London

Europe’s Leading ICO Presale Pool Syndicate now accepting new members. 
 
“We’re quite confident that when we’re sitting here in twenty years, we’ll be talking about Blockchain Technology the way we talk about the Internet Today” = Marc Andreessen
 
Who are we?  Crypto Laboratory London’s team consist of individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds in IT, programming and development, finance, HR, marketing and politics. We are all cryptocurrency enthusiasts, investors, traders and miners that are fulltime and in the community. We are London based and have a network with presence around the city however we do have presence globally. We’re investors just like you but we also believe that Blockchain has the potential to transform societies and reorganise industry and sectors. A great opportunity is presented to us where we can be a part of a revolutionary space and investing at the same time. Giving us access to a closed community. Without decentralization we would not be here. We can financially and socially support great projects we believe will have lasting impacts.
 
Why did we form? We saw the astounding lack of attention to details and well-rounded organisation around Crypto trading and ICO investing from other ICO pools and syndicates. In cases, some groups had easy access to ICO teams and allocations because of their networks, however the quality of the ICO’s themselves were not consistent. Analysis and community support were often poor. Other groups had good analysis and attention to details but lacked the access to pre-sale allocation for early investors. There was a space for an organisation that took the best practices and amalgamated them into one project. 
 
What do we do different? Our solution is that we have a great team that works to offer the best solution in each field when assessing an ICO.  We carry out a scrutiny process and due diligence on ICO’s before we personally invest. We also carry out our own tokenomics and analysis on the concept, team, advisors, prototypes and other important factors when initiating investment. We have a wide network across the crypto community and regularly attend conferences and meetings. Upcoming ICO projects approach Crypto Laboratory London because of the valued community that we have behind us, which VC firms and angel investors lack. Where possible we always like to have a close relationship to the projects we take interest in and represent the communities’ interests in ICO projects.  This means that when our community invests in a project; quick clarification and issues that arrive can be dealt with promptly.
 
How you can be involved We are opening participation up. This means you can join our community, benefit from the education, networking and personal analysis that we and others provide within our space, for free. There is no joining cost. We simply ask that keep an open mind to learning and contributing to discussions. From this, you will be given access to participate in syndicates which our Team secure through hard work and due diligence that we carry out. 
 

•   We create due diligence reports on ICO's for our partners, carry out technical analysis tailored for our clients and are advising a number of ICO's privately.
We also raise funds and acquire allocations and we are looking to build a network of groups who would be willing to share research/allocations and opportunities with each other.
Due to current market conditions most groups are struggling to raise capital because investors are not liquid.

The first professional digital rating agency DigRate has assigned 5.1 points out of 7.0 to the DeHedge project.

DeHegde is a company aiming at creating a decentralized platform for hedging risks of crypto investors. DeHedge plans to create the infrastructure needed to protect ICO and cryptocurrencies investments in case of exchange rate fluctuations, fraud and bankruptcy of projects, offering its clients two basic hedging strategies: hedging initial token offerings and trading token exchange rate having free circulation.

The idea of ​crypto insurance is not new, several decentralized projects such as Cryptosterling, B.Sure and others, as well as a number of centralized banks, for example, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, work on it. However, these companies implement local initiatives, but only DeHedge and B.Sure, declare insurance of the traders’ losses risk during market fluctuations directly.

The project's founders are public figures with experience in major Russian banks, hedge funds and business incubators, the staff of the project is balanced having competences in software, finance, marketing and jurisprudence. There are the well-known lawyer with experience in the cryptocurrencies regulation, the chief editor of CryptoCoinNews, the senior partner of Belgravia Wealth Management and the financier with extensive experience in dealing with risks in Troika Dialog and Sberbank CIB among the project's advisers. There are Derebit, Shivom, and Priority Token among project partners.

The DHT token will be used as an insurance premium payment and has utility-token features. The team also presents the test results on the non-recognition of the token as a security. In addition, the project team states that they are working to obtain the appropriate SEC licenses to work with institutional investors, and there are corresponding entries in the SEC archives. However, practice shows that the SEC is skeptical about cryptocurrencies, and this initiative is difficult to implement.

The tech side needs further development, the smart contract code for ICO and Pre-ICO has not been published on GitHub.

The project has already provided the first proposal for hedging Shivon tokens, that can be purchased through the DeHedge website, but there is one hedging option available that covers only 50% of the value of the purchased tokens at the moment.

In general, the DeHedge’s idea is pressing and promising, but the lack of information on the methodology does not allow to fully assess the potential of the project. If more hedging options will launch in time and more other ICO projects will be involved, DeHedge can compete with other projects in the multibillion hedge and crypto insurance market, optimize price risks for the target audience of the crypto industry, attract traditional investors to the cryptocurrency market, as well as attract investors, cryptocurrency traders, and funds managing the capital of trustees into ICO projects.

The first professional digital rating agency DigRate has assigned A2 investment attractiveness score to DAV Network – medium-to-high probability of long-term investment return, the level of project development potential is above average.

The DAV Network project aims to create a platform that will allow anyone to buy or sell services in the decentralized market of unmanned vehicles. The DAV platform will integrate into any autonomous vehicles, allowing them to exchange information and carry out transactions with each other using the DAV digital currency.

Modules created by Dav Network already have working prototypes and will allow to estimate the pace of the project development in real time, as well as testing some of the functionality. The project team presented a detailed road map, an analysis of the competitive landscape and current market trends, as well as a well thought out business model. The project developers themselves and the advisory board members are representatives of large, universally recognized world companies (NASA, UPS, Bancor, Google) of various fields and leave no doubt about their serious intentions and possibilities to implement such goals.

Despite the undoubted competence of developers, some aspects raise questions. For example, the mechanism for protecting the token price from possible devaluation is not thought out sufficiently. The legal side of the ICO is not thought out, including the regulation of investments made during the ICO and the risks of conducting ICO. There are no main legal documents. Gaps in the legal part of the project may jeopardize its implementation. However, the project team claims that the legal side of the project is being worked out by well-known law firms and will be published closer to the ICO start date.

Despite the above mentioned disadvantages, the project is one of the most popular and expected among the global crypto community. DigRate analysts believe that the success of the project and the speed of its development will directly depend on the pace of technology development in the autonomous vehicles sector, as well as the regulatory rules of this sector of some states and the ability of project developers to adapt to these rules. It is important for investors to understand that it takes several years to implement a project of this scale and the business model of the project is designed for long-term investments.

DAV Network is a very relevant and in-demand solution in the field of transport, supported by the platform prototype. Most likely that the platform’s services will be highly in demand, and the project will be scaled rapidly.

Pros and cons of the project, as well as our recommendations, can be found in our report.

The first professional digital rating agency DigRate has assigned 5.8 points out of 7.0 to the Thrive Labs project.

Thrive Labs is developing a data management platform (DMP) with great potential in advertising marketing. The Thrive ecosystem will allow advertisers and content creators to interact directly without intermediaries. The goal of the project is to create a decentralized platform based on activities transparency, taking into account the reputation when paying bonuses. The blockchain technology will ensure full transparency, reliability, and security of cooperation, and a smart contract guarantees fast and timely payment to the advertising market participants.

Creators of Thrive Labs are the founders of Weboom LTD, which is one of the four largest Italian companies in the digital advertising industry.

The project team has conducted a detailed analysis of the digital advertising market and the competitive landscape. Successful companies such as Google Doubleclick and AppNexus have been operating on the global market for a long time.
The most perspective competitors that have conducted or are going to conduct crowdsale are AdEx, Ad Shares, Basic Attention Token, Papyrus, and Bitclave. For example, the Bitclave project (A1 investment attractiveness score) raised $ 25.5 million during the ICO, and now the CAT token is trading on exchanges with three times higher price.


With blockchain Thrive Labs plans to eliminate the following competitors’ shortcomings: low transaction speed, high commission fees, and insufficiently high data storage capacities. In addition, as project has its own services to collect information without intermediaries, the cost of premium advertising within the Thrive Labs is 4.5 - 7 times lower than competitors. There are the highest transparency and data security and protection of the advertiser's brand from an unfavorable information environment among other advantages of the project.

Another difference of the project from competitors' projects will be a system for assessing the quality of creators' websites content, where reviewers will be rewarded for their work, and creators of ineffective content will eventually leave the ecosystem.



The project team has a demo of the Thrive DMP platform with limited functionality. The developers claim that launch and testing of the alpha version of the platform are planned for the second quarter of 2018.



In general, the project has opportunities for rapid scaling and occupying a niche in the premium digital advertising market by minimizing the cost of advertising and improving its effectiveness.

The first professional rating agency for the evaluation of digital assets DigRate has assigned a Quality Rate Medium with average score of 5.1/7.0 to BitGuild project.

The goal of BitGuild's founders is to create a decentralized gaming platform based on blockchain. The project team seeks to solve detrimental problems of the current video game industry for players and development companies. Market problems include: poor service conditions, expensive microtransactions, frequent phishing attacks, fraud and carding, the dominant monopoly position of large gaming companies, the inability to manage game assets outside one particular game. Developers plan to create a complex of services within the platform, with the help of which the companies-developers will be able to raise funds for their games, independent designers and programmers will be able to participate in the development of a certain part of the game or the design of the game subject, and players will be able to trade game assets and transfer them from one game to another.

The founder of the project has a successful experience confirmed by a functioning business. Reality Squared Games (R2Games) is a developer and publisher of browser and mobile games.

The project team reviewed several centralized online games within the competitive landscape analysis (World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Counter Strike), the main disadvantages of them are the overestimated value of game items, as well the fact that game users do not really own the game assets and at any time they can lose them in case of server failure or withdrawal from the game.

BitGuild plans to unite several services within a single platform, that is unique among other gaming blockchain projects, such as VRT World, the Abyss, Play2Live, Nitro, Playkey, etc.

BitGuild's founders plan to realize the opportunity for players to transfer game assets from one game to another (for example, when losing interest to the game) within the platform, that is a unique offer in the market, but it is difficult to implement such solution for games of different developers.

The team’s ambitious goal to develop a platform with the best games and create the largest community of independent game developers, designers, and players, can be achieved due to the high professionalism of the team, the development of the services complex for the various games players that is not offered by key market companies, as well as the implementation of user ownership rights to gaming assets and the possibility of their transferring to other games. Implementation of these plans will be possible if the project team will be able to establish close cooperation and integrate with the major game developers and decentralized gaming platforms, for example with Nitro, the Abyss, Playkey.

The team of the first professional rating agency for the evaluation of digital assets DigRate has assigned a Quality Rate Medium with average score of 5.1/7.0 to TheWorldNews project.

TheWorldNews project positions itself as the first anti-fake news platform, where a bot gathers news from around the world. The bot stores the collected content in a distributed database, that ensures transparency of information about any changes in the news content, as well as compact storage and quick access to the data for later analysis. Further, with the help of a self-learning neural network, the content in the database is analyzed, poor-quality content is detected, and the corresponding rating is automatically assigned to the publication.

The business model of the TheWorldNews assumes the monetization of the news platform by selling advertising displays on theworldnews.net. An in-depth analysis of user metrics will be available for advertisers, with broad targeting capabilities for the target audience of interest.

Whitepaper also identifies the following revenue sources for the platform:

– including the media in the list of feeds; – information marketplace services for the media (photo bank, video content, and access to unique news from around the world); – placement of commercial articles, both on the project website and on partner resources; – purchase a translation of a news item into the required language in only two clicks.

Accounting inside the TheWorldNews platform will be made by TWN tokens, and all unsold tokens will be destroyed. In addition to fundraising, the team notes the importance of issuing its own TWN token as a guarantee of project independence from governments of different countries and financial-industrial groups.

The team has already-working alpha version of the news platform with the implemented news aggregator: the news feed is processed from 200 countries and more than 2500 media. For the time being, the alpha version of the platform processes more than 60 thousand news in many languages daily. The beta version was launched on March 1, 2018. The media base to monitor the platform was expanded, and the possibility of verifying news (removal, editing) was added.

The main competitive advantage of TheWorldNews platform is the algorithmization of the determining the reliability of news process with the help of neural networks, that will handle a huge news feed and eliminate errors of the human factor. A big difference from traditional news aggregators will be the creation of an ecosystem for the interaction of editors, publishers, photographers, journalists, administrators of news resources, and advertisers.

The urgency of the problem of spreading fake news, as well as multilinguality of the platform, are likely to attract plenty of international Internet traffic. These factors will contribute to the growth of demand for platform services, and, accordingly, to its TWN token.

All of the above mentioned facts leave no room for doubt in the serious intentions of the project developers and in the possibilities of implementing the plans. The team expects to attract international stars to the project.

Like any other ICO projects, allabout.me contains high risks for investors, but the team has sufficient resources which, if used rationally, can ensure the token’s price growth.

In our opinion, Hard Cap established at the level of $ 100 million, is overestimated given the current marketing activity of the project. For example, the ICO of IndaHash project with a similar business model allowed to accumulate $ 42 million, while the project conducted a very active marketing campaign in social networks, on thematic forums, and news sites of blockchain resources.

The presence of a large investor is also a factor of material interest in maintaining the price of the token after the completion of the ICO.

The concept offered by the developers of allabout.me is important for the further development of the social networking market in general and taking into account the dynamics of the development of the online advertising market, as well as the spread of blockchain technologies. There is a high probability of token’s price growth after the ICO within 6 months.

If the team breaches the terms of allabout.me, the stages of the strategy of marketing and project development, the assessment of the investment attractiveness made by the rating committee of the DigRate agency can be reviewed.

Pros and cons of the project, as well as our recommendations, can be found in our report.

The DigRate has assigned Quality Rate High to Ethearnal project.

Ethearnal is a peer-to-peer (P2P) system for the interaction of employers and freelancers. Labor relations between the employer and the attracted remote executors are built on the basis of a smart contract, through which the employer initially deposits the amount of payment for the work of the freelancer in Ethereum (ETH). The main criterion for assessing the level of qualification of freelancers within the Ethearnal platform is the ERT in-system token. The number of ERT on the participant's balance sheet directly affects the number and complexity of projects in which he can participate as an executor, employer or moderator.

The system commission is a 0 to 1% and depends on whether the transaction was disputable. If the terms of the contract are successfully executed by both parties, then there is no need for arbitration and there is no fee . To resolve disputed situations, the moderators are involved in the role of arbitrators. To participate in the dispute, the moderators transfer their ERT to the balance of the smart contract and choose the side that they think is right in this situation. The winning moderators get back the ERT they contributed and, as compensation, the ERT of the losing party, as well as the tokens of moderators who voted for this side. 1% of the ERT balance of the winners’ controversial smart contract is written off and distributed proportionally among all holders of the ERT token within the Ethearnal system.

A study by McKinsey & Company of the global market for remote work showed that in 2016 only in the US and Europe there were more than 160 million freelancers, for 50 million of them, remote work was the main source of income. More recent data for 2017 was published by Upwork, in which the number of freelancers in the US is 57.3 million people, that is 36% of the working population of the country. The chosen market niche for implementing the Ethearnal project is highly competitive, but in demand and has a great growth potential. At the moment, there is a large number of centralized services on the remote work market for the interaction of freelancers and employers. Also, with the development of blockchain technology, many decentralized projects are entering this market: Blocklancer, Coinlancer, Bitjob, Jury.online, Wordcoin, FreelancerCoin, Gems. Currently, ICO Blocklancer has already attracted 4 thousand ETH, and the completed Bitjob ICO - 8 thousand ETH. The price of the Bitjob token after the release on the exchange showed a steady growth of 120%, but then fell below the original price. It should be noted that the Ethearnal project can compete with Jury.online, which is not a direct competitor, but has functions for solving Ethearnal's tasks. A significant advantage of the Ethearnal project is the introduction of the ICO 2.0 concept, which enables investors to monitor the expenditure of borrowed funds by the project team.

The main advantages of the project over competitors are:

– low commission fee for participants of the system (0 to 1%);

– the funds raised during the crowdsale in ETH are blocked on a smart contract and transferred to the Ethernal project team 10% each after the positive voting of ERT holders (ICO 2.0);

– if investors’ expectations in evaluating the performance of the Ethernal team are not met, owners of ERT tokens are able to return the remainder of blocked ETH on a smart contract;

– the project team intends to collect profit from the project on general terms, as the holder of 20% of the total number of ERT.

There is MVP on project’s website, the source code of the project is published on GitHub. Safety audit of the smart contract was carried out by Authio and is available on the website. An indefinite bounty program to find bugs in the Ethearnal system is announced. One of the project's founders has an extensive experience in freelancing and has positive feedback. The disadvantages of the project are the absence of the test results for non-recognition of ERT as a security and the insufficient elaboration of the competition methods. The project is popular and widely covered in thematic media. The main factor for the success of the project, and, accordingly, the demand for ERT is the detailed "aggressive" marketing strategy for popularizing the project, taking into account the narrow segmentation of the market and targeting its audience.

The DigRate has assigned Quality Rate High to Datarius project.

Datarius cryptobank is a platform that will function on the basis of P2P-ecosystem and will combine many different financial services, such as: fast money transfer; currency exchange; crediting of P2P; transactions and investments in real funds; trading exchange instruments; demand deposits; integration with instant money transfer systems Western Union, MoneyGram, TransferWise; access to SWIFT; use of fixed cryptochecks; mortgage credit lending; creation of services for small and medium-sized businesses; creation of a VC investment fund; access to the market of government bonds. Future users of the platform will receive financial services that will meet their needs, as transactions will be automated and services will be adapted to the wishes of users through smart contracts.

According to the report by McKinsey & Company, the volume of investments in fintech startups increased from $ 2.5 bn in 2012 to $ 14.6 bn in 2016 and continues to grow rapidly. According to the forecasts of the World Bank, by 2025, 10% of world GDP will be serviced through a blockchain. The project team conducted a comparative analysis of Datarius with traditional banking institutions and competitors from the fintech field. However, concrete projects on a blockchain with a similar concept have not been considered (for example, according to Forbes, in 2017, 22 of the 50 most successful fintech startups were implemented on the blockchain).

Another decentralized fintech project is Lala World (B1 investment attractiveness score), ICO has already ended and the project raised $ 12 mn. The Lala World team presents a product with limited functionality, that is used by more than 500 thousand people. Despite the similarity of projects for a standard set of financial instruments, Datarius offers an innovative model of socialization of the fintech system, as well as many additional tools. Among the competitive advantages of Datarius: relatively low commission fees for transactions (0.02 to 0.15%), the ability to customize services for the needs of a particular user; a flexible system that will allow users to transfer personal accounts to crypto-space significantly saving on banking services and receiving bonuses for activity on the platform and, thanks to integration with international translation systems, it will be easy to invest and withdraw funds.

The economic nature of the DTRC token defines it as a digital unit of Datarius service, a unique key and the only tool for participating in the ecosystem. The entire range of financial products and ecosystem services is based on the interaction of users directly with each other using DTRC.

DigRate analysts believe that the distribution between the token holders of a part of the platform's revenue carries the risk of classifying DTRC as a security token and without obtaining licenses in a number of countries it can be considered as violation of the securities market law. However, the team is advised by professional lawyers, and the results of Howey test will be published soon. In order to reduce the risk of token devaluation, the project envisages the limited issuance of tokens and the listing of DTRC on exchanges after the product has entered the financial services market. The ability to use the ecosystem with a variety of financial instruments, a minimum platform commission fee when carrying out a transaction, the allocation of a part of the platform commission fees are the main factors of high potential demand for DTRC.

Developers published the Terms and Conditions, that disclosed AML / KYC issues. The publication of the Privacy Policy is scheduled for February 19, 2018.

At the moment, the main disadvantage of the project is incomplete implementation of the tech side, as the team does not represent the platform prototype. The code of the ICO smart contract is published on GitHub, the results of the independent safety audit of the smart contract are not presented.

In general, the success of the Datarius project will depend directly on the availability of the necessary licenses (starting with the DPL, that is in the status of application consideration), and also on the distribution of cryptocurrency as a legal means of payment.

If all legislative norms are observed and the project's functionality is fully implemented, the platform can be of interest to a wide range of users of different social levels.

The DigRate has assigned Quality Rate High to Jury.Online project.

Jury.Online is a platform that provides services for the resolution of any kind of disputes with the participation of an independent group of expert judges. The main problems of the market, that the project plans to solve are: high fees for professional legal services, excessive duration of trials and non-enforcement of court decisions. The appeal to traditional courts is too time-consuming and expensive in case of disputed transactions with insignificant funds. The Jury.Online platform using the built-in arbitration system is trying to resolve disputes outside the framework of state procedural requirements, without violating the requirements of different countries legislation in regard to contractual arrangements between the parties. Legal recognition of such decisions on disputes by all subjects of contractual relations is also possible.

The platform has a flexible smart contract that allows to conduct multilateral transactions, randomize the pool of judges, and also includes a number of approaches that exclude the corruption component of the dispute resolution process. The Jury.Online system uses the smart contract when making transaction between counterparties, where the initiating party deposits funds in the smart contract according to the declared sum. In case of a disputable situation, independent judges ⎼ participants of the system are involved to complete the transaction. There is a variety of options for selecting a third arbitration party in the flexible system of selection of judges.

It is possible to use both the automatic system of selecting the judges, and independently choose judges specializing in a particular field and providing their services in dispute resolution within the platform. Judges do not have information about decisions taken by other judges, and the final verdict on the dispute is made based on the majority of the judges’ votes. Payment to judges is made after the conclusion of a disputed transaction from the blocked funds on a smart contract.

Online stores, platforms for freelancers, trading platforms and other Internet companies are interested in services to resolve legal disputes. Instead of having their own legal department, they could entrust this service to members of the Jury.Online system.

MarketLine’ business analysts published a report on the state of the global legal services market in 2016 (data for 2017 are not available yet). The market volume is $ 584.4 bn, and the average annual growth in sales of legal services is 2.2%. However, the whitepaper of the Jury.Online lacks a detailed market survey and a description of the competitive advantages of this platform, for example, over Confideal, Ethearnal, RxEAL. It should be noted that the projects Ethearnal and RxEAL are not direct competitors to Jury.Online, since the dispute resolution function is implemented for particular tasks based on the specifics of the remote work and disputes over collateral for leases. The Confideal’s functionality is the closest to the Jury.Online’s, but Confideal has not yet completed the pre-sale stage, nor does it have a randomized selection of arbitrators despite the implemented MVP.

The field of dispute resolution is represented by the state judiciary. The project has a number of significant advantages over the centralized judicial system: low financial costs of launching and settling disputes, impartiality of decisions made in disputes, as well as flexibility in choosing rules and conditions for resolving disputes.

The project team has developed an alpha version of the product. The source code of the smart contract and the protocol are published on GitHub. The Jury.Online team is quite balanced and includes developers of the platform, experts in marketing, strategic development and other fields. It should be noted that the team members do not have extensive experience and achievements in the field of jurisprudence. The project needs additional specialists in the field of jurisprudence.

Successful pre-sale of the Jury.Online, as well as the popularity of the project in social networks and thematic communities demonstrates investors’ interest to the project.

The potential of the JOT token directly depends on the distribution of cryptocurrency as a legal means of payment. The services of the platform may be of interest to freelance exchanges and medium-sized online stores. The price of JOT has a growth potential of 2-3 times in the medium term (from three to six months) with medium volatility (up to 30%) in the long term (from six months).

The DigRate has assigned Quality Rate Medium to Solve.Care project.

Solve.Care is an international platform that will operate in the market of medical services. Solve.Care platform acts as a link between consumers of medical services, private and public medical institutions, insurers and brokers. According to Deloitte research, the global volume of the medical services market will grow from $ 7 trillion in 2015 to $ 8.7 trillion by 2020. 15-30% of these funds are wasted due to inefficiency of the system, excessive workload and various types of fraud.

The project team conducted an analysis of the medical services market using the example of the United States, indicating all the factors that adversely affect the healthcare system and the benefits of using the Solve.Care platform. The project collected a softcap of $ 3 mn at the pre-sale stage.

The founders and advisers of the project have successful experience in the field of health insurance for life and health; development, design and promotion of innovative tech products; information security and cryptography. From a tech point of view, the team looks very strong.

Among the main competitors of the project are the following:

Doctorlib. With the help of this platform you can remotely make an appointment with a doctor. For patients the platform is free, and doctors pay $ 117 per month. This startup has already attracted $ 28 mn;

HealhEngine allows patients to schedule appointments with medical professionals online using a website or mobile app. The project attracted 26.7 million Australian dollars;

Robomed unites healthcare providers and patients on the basis of a smart contract, the performance criteria of which are the metrics of the effectiveness of a particular medical service and the patient's satisfaction. The project attracted $ 15 mn. As of the date of the express review, the price of the RBM token is $ 0.0913 and has fallen from $ 0.354 since the start date of trading on the exchange);

Medicalchain uses blockchain technology for the safe storage of medical records and the preservation of a single reliable information;

It is also important to note the emergence of startups in the field of telemedicine, that allow you to consult a doctor remotely. Among them we can distinguish the RoboDoc system, which is a tele-device with a screen and a video chat with a doctor.

Most competitors’ solutions are limited to improving only patient and doctor relations, while Solve.Care offers a complex system with interaction of all participants of the medical services market. That is its main advantage.

The economic nature of CAN defines a token as a utility, that will be used for further purchases, payments in the system and it is not a security. (There is no information on the results of the Howey Test on the official website of the project.)

According to whitepaper (section Important Disclosures), the CAN token will be subject to legal review and will carry all the SEC's requirements, as if it were security. In order to reduce the risk of tokens devaluation, there is limited issuance of tokens. All unsold tokens will be destroyed.

The main factors for the high demand for CAN from private insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, and other stakeholders will be a variety of options for its use, including administration, coordination, and payment transactions for US government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

18% of the total number of issued tokens is reserved for project organizers and a Vesting schedule is provided, which is based on the gradual receipt by project managers of 20% of tokens every 6 months from the reserved amount and 100% vesting at 30 months. This is a motivating factor for the diligent performance of all work duties.

Among the partners of the project there are such large companies and associations as: Ambisafe, FoxTailMarketing, Juscutum, and American Research&Policy Institute, that indicates a high degree of reliability of the project.

The main risks of the project include the fact that the project does not have a prototype of the product, in contrast to its main competitors and the dynamic development of projects-competitors. Also, due to low marketing activity, there is a risk that it will not collect sufficient funding.

In the long term, Solve.Care has all chances to become one of the main players in the healthcare market. The CAN price has a medium growth potential with considerable sensitivity to market environment.

Pros and cons of the project, can be found in our review.

The DigRate has assigned Quality Rate Medium to ViMarket project.

ViMarket is a platform that combines a trading platform, as well as tools for working with virtual and augmented reality, through which sellers can create virtual versions of their goods, and users - 3D copies of their rooms and see how the goods will look in their interior.

Now ViMarket specializes mainly in real estate and interior design, and also shows interest in the fashion industry and the automobile industry. By paying for virtual purchases with VIT tokens, the user will be able to acquire ownership of the goods in the virtual plane and to test its usage in real life. According to developers, the cost of virtual purchase will be low, and acquiring the real thing through the marketplace, the user will receive a discount equal or greater than the amount of spent tokens.

The company has developed beta version for creating virtual product models and a virtual version of the premises that are intuitively easy to use. The creator of the project is the company ViMarket Gamechanger, that previously used its 3D-development in the gaming industry.

The developers of the project demonstrate understanding of the competitive environment and as the main competitors of the project indicate Amazon and Facebook, that were among the first to enter the market with developments in the field of virtual reality. However, neither Amazon nor Facebook offers a concept in which e-commerce and virtual reality interact within the same economic system. Also there are a number of other large companies that offer centralized solutions for 3D visualization of goods (for example, the Augment application that is integrated into the Oracle Cloud Marketplace). In a decentralized environment, similar solutions were not found.

The volume of the e-commerce market has grown by more than 10% per year over the past 8 years and online shops spend more than $ 6 trillion annually for the return and exchange of goods, that did not appeal to their customers. The solution offered by ViMarket will provide Internet users with the opportunity to gain experience of owning the goods before acquiring it. The economic nature of VIT defines a token as a digital unit of ViMarket service, for use by buyers as a settlement for a service or product, that is not a basis for recognizing a token as a security, however, the Howey test has not been conducted. VIT will allow users to purchase virtual versions of goods that are interesting to them and try them out before buying a real product.

VIT carries a real economic value, because owning a virtual version of the product gives the right to a discount (equal or greater than the cost of a virtual product) when it is purchased in real life. In order to reduce the risk of the token's devaluation and the manipulation of its price by the project, a number of preventive measures are taken: the limited issuance of tokens, the destruction of all unsold tokens, although the project does not provide for the buyback of tokens or their "burning".

The project did not audit the safety of the smart contract, that increases the risk of vulnerability in the code and unauthorized withdrawal of funds. It should be noted that the implementation of the business model of the project is possible without the use of blockchain technology. Nevertheless, the competition in the e-commerce market is high and every year it becomes tougher, therefore ViMarket, that offers new tools for interaction between sellers and buyers, is competitive and promising. The presented prototypes of tools and the described innovative solution in the medium term will allow the company to confidently capture part of the e-commerce market in real estate, interior design, fashion industry and the automotive industry, that will contribute to the growth of the VIT price.

Pros and cons of the project, can be found in our review.
