Topic: "Hard Cap and Soft Cap" - page 19. (Read 472384 times)
As everyone explained that they softcap is a minimum funds required to function project and hardcap is the maximum funds could get invested in the project.
These are fundraising goals. Soft cap is the lower limit, the minimal amount required for the project to be considered. If the project does not reach its soft cap, the team will return the funds. On the other hand, hard cap is the maximum amount a crowdsale will receive.
Hmm, interesting. Is that true if the project does not reach its soft cap, the team will return the funds?
Because the fact which I've experienced it was not like that. I join ATFS ICO and the project not reached soft cap. But the team still continue the project and hit the coinexchange.io exchanges
No refund plan and the investors still disappointed about the ATFS progress.
Soft cap is the minimum amount of investment required to finance the project. Hard cap is the maximum amount that management can effectively use.
Its some made up point, especially the "hard cap". Soft cap i can see that some may need, but no way the majority of ICOs need it. Low amount of money just means longer development time. Its bullshit.
Is there a cryptosite that provides information on hard/soft caps?
What is the difference of hard cap to soft cap? Did we base on this if we are going to invest in altcoins? Share your comments.
Softcap is minimal and hardcap is max, You need to know it if you intend to invest in altcoins.If the softcap is reached then the project will be successful ,and if it has reached the hardcap,
it means that the project looks very promising by so many investors
When an ICO(Initial Coin offering) is announced, the coin decided by the project team is sold as an investment. And out of the total budjet that is required for the company to go ahead with the project, they are supposed to attain a certain investment levels. This is nothing but funds. The minimum amount that is required is a SOFTCAP and the maximum amount that is enough is a HARDCAP.
They are funding target of an ico, softcap is the minimum funding goal set by developer of ico while hardcap is the maximum funding goal set which no fund will be received after it is reached.
That is why It is so important to see how much is their soft and hard cap since it is so important to be involved in the ICO that we want to invest at so that the success of the ICO is also our success. 
The softcup this is the level at which the team will be able to realize your idea and product . Hard cup is the maximum amount that a team needs to collect
I've noticed several ICO's reaching their softcap well before presale or crowdsale, usually by having private investors on board that buy a small portion (compared to the presale and crowdsale number) for a low price, still earning a few million $. Not many actually rely on reaching their softcap nowadays or so it seems.
Alarming is the amount of ICO's telling people when they didn't reach their hardcap (or barely reached their softcap) that they will keep tokens for a 2nd round later....
Low capped projects often offer the best opportunity to go x5 or better. High capped projects have the benefit of immediately getting enough funding (once reached or near) to be able to buy into exchanges like Binance.

soft cap is the minimal amount that ICO needs in order to build the product. Hard cap is the maximum they need. Once the hard is reached, ICO ends as there is not need for more funds
I am see one project who raise soft cap, but despite this launch one more ICO
What you think about this ?

softcap is the initial target of a project. Where the time of softcap, a project has reached a turning point. so the project will definitely run. As for hardcap is a point where the sales mark has run out. And this is a target set by the team and the project dev in order for the project to get the most benefit. When a project reaches its hardcap the project is successful and its token sale has ended.

soft cap the minimum needed for the team to proceed with project
hard cap max they are looking to raise
if the soft cap is very high and not reached you might lose some money as presale investor as they will get refund minus money already spent on marketing and so on happened recently for moxy ico and was hard to see that one coming as soft cap was not that high
Hard cap is a maximum capital that project need to mobilize and soft cap is contrary, is a minimum. You can base on them to know this project need many capital or not
The question has been answered several times, thanks for the info.
The softcup this is the level at which the team will be able to realize your idea and product . Hard cup is the maximum amount that a team needs to collect
Soft cap mate not soft cup.To make it easier, soft cap means the minimum amount that they want to collect.
just to note, if ICO fail to exceed soft cap, all collected amount will be refunded back
Many ICOs failed and they never reached their hard cap so do their soft caps and they have no choice but to refund the collected amount. 
This is particularly important when I am looking for a project let the project not exposed the scam. And this is very helpful, I am looking for a project with a cap or minimum sales targets are achieved. With soft CAP is reached, this makes the project will continue to the next stage. The soft CAP is reached of course the team will pursue a hard hat and if this is achieved, this, of course, is an incredible project.

soft cap is the minimum target or the minimum goal to be allocated during token sale. it means that the project itself is success, and ready to do the next step based on their roadmap. hard cap is the maximum funds to be raised, it means that the project is super success, and raised more than enough funds.
just to note, if ICO fail to exceed soft cap, all collected amount will be refunded back
