Hello...Friends

Today lots of ICO's running Online and most of the ICO based on the ERC-20 platform. Why?

It is the only platform at the moment that is so established and that also offers the abilities required by these new projects. Other projects do not live up to the task yet.

At present most ICO are based on Ethereum Platform because the speed of Ethereum blockchain is good enough. Creation and Listing of ERC20 coin/token is easy and cheaper. A number of wallet and trading platform are available for Ethereum based coins.

Because I think many client user liked it because it allows the clients interact the token and blockchain in a fast transaction and also you can use the ethereum platform in trading or sending tokens that is why many used it.

ERC20 coin platform and Ethereum smart contract is the best blockchain in the crypto market because it is 100% transparent and more reliable than any blockchain backbone.
That's why many would have trusted Ethereum's smart contract and Blockchain backbone and this is the reason why many investors and supporters are trusting the new altcoins.
it is not anonymous and everything and every transactions are publicly traceable.

In terms of wallet management. ERC20 coin platform offers multiple altcoins in a single wallet so investors and users will not constantly shift into another wallets and manage their Crypto assets.
there are some altcoins that offers smart contracts but Ethereum is the most trusted by many project developers using blockchain due it's accessibility, robust, clean and transparent, scalable and more factors on Ethereum's advancement.

Because it`s the most comfortable platform for developers and has great popularity
If Stellar or , for example, NEO were the first, who made such platform, I think we`d see projects now only on Stellar and NEO.
Everything because of first steps)

Although, Bitcoin platform would have been the most preferred, but it was observed that Ethereum solves Bitcoin’s problems with a few changes in the way its blockchain is structured.
First, Ethereum uses a complex data structure to store a tree of program states, allowing for quick modification and verification of the various states required to execute an ICO.
Second, Ethereum's protocol allows for faster block creation times without compromising blockchain security, meaning ICO transactions get processed faster.

You are totally wrong here! There are many other good alternatives to ethereum where you can do some more advanced things. Let's look at NEO? It has low barrier of entry for developers as they don't have to learn new programming language to be able to start to write code. Ethereum is widley used because it has somewhat built itself a standard by being one of the first blockchains to enable such feature with vast community support such as smarcontracts, dApps and ability to create your own token via smartcontract.

Ethereum was the first mover to provide this service on the crypto world, and knowledge is well spread about how to use it. The startups will go with what is easy to implement and well known.

I think because the ERC platform 20 is compatible with many exchanges, ICOs on this platform can quickly list on the exchange platform. There are also a number of ICOs that have been mobilized on the NEO, ADA or Stellar platforms, but have had a number of compatibility issues on the large exchanges.

The answer is quite simple, at the moment very large (in terms of complexity and speed of generating blocks) networks are not so many, among them Ether is a very large group. It is also worth noting that many firms support this project in the light of many ideas that are realized there before other projects. The ether is very interesting.

Because Ethereum blockchain is ideal blockchain for mass adoption and easy to deal with. Even Microsoft has started building their Azure platform on Ethereum blockchain and IBM is working on it as well. Ethereum blockchain hold way too much potential to turn around things in way better and faster. 

I think so too because of course I know only ethereum is often used as a platform with token or other coins then the price of ethereum can be high without excess I am very sure the price ethereum will never touch this high price

Is still the king of ICOs for sure, but more and more ICOs are now going for the NEO platform as it offers a very effective system and it has a good development programme.

It have good reputation already, and it makes itself popular more and more, because this platform has good future and many people likes this programm of development

Most icos are based on eth because Ethereum saves the devs and team lots of time and money

and as a bonus the team does not need to build their own blockchain from scratch,

besides that it has this easy tool of hosting other tokens on its blockchain using smart contracts which many prefer to use .

This is because of smart contracts. Also the platform is fast, flexible (customisable) and really secure.

thereum platform is the most appropriate one for bounty campaigns. It was made for the developers to create their markets. If to open Ethereum page https://www.ethereum.org/ you can found their detailed info about how to start your project, to design your token or a coin and so on. All that made ETH platform popular and competitive.

To start Ethereum is an alternative to the SWIFT global banking system of transfer payments. In addition to everything Ethereum father of all ICO. So here are two facts: the utility of the platform, as well as a tribute.

Based ethereum is easy in use so in my opinion many ico love it. and the net in smart contrac can not be hacked so far this system is still safe

Smart contracts became popular and this is the reason why there are so many new coins that are generated as ERC20 token. But it's not the only platform that other projects can use. There's also waves and NEM, I don't know others but these are the other common platforms too.

There are platforms for starting new ICO faster, cheaper, easier than the ether network. But ethereum is the first and time-tested.

added
mega_carnation overtook me)

i heard from many people because it's the easiest platform to use and it's the cheapest.
that's why many ICOs are based on erc20

It has speed and economical savings.

for me because ERC-20 platform is very secure and reliable to use when it comes to sending token to anyone. And the reason also why some of the ICO project used it because of its advantages which is fast transaction and confirms the transaction more efficiently and etc.

Currently, there is information Coinbase announces plans to support the token ERC20. Thus, the future of ERC 20 is still very strong when supported by Coinbase, many Altcoin ERC20 will be list on coinbase.

I think it's smart contracts is reason of so popularity in ICO platform choosing Ethereum. Nobody really wants to develop their own blockchain like it did developers of ETH

I was just early to you mate within few seconds.  :D

I thought that smart contracts will be near to its death soon since Vitalik Buterin is doing another project and that can take over smart contracts but with the support of coinbase to ERC20 tokens, this will make ethereum based tokens stronger.

Ethereum made it a whole lot easier for ICOs to raise money with it's smart contract feature.
Ethereum blockchain also has many developers and this creates availability of experts who can assist ICOs with technical details.
Ethereum is also very popular and available on almost every exchanges.

The ethereum platform is very popular and in demand in the world of crypto currency. Therefore, most ICOs create their projects on this platform. Today, there are other platforms similar to the ethereum platform, but which have not yet proved themselves and have not yielded the proper result.

One more interesting moment.
Projects that promise kill etherium makes his ICO's on eth blockchain )))

Because this is the very first platform. Etherium is also a stable platform. Therefore, most projects choose the Etherium.

Most exchanges have integrated ERC-20 that's why for ICO it is easy to be listed on exchanges that on another blockchain.

I found this exchange lccx.io - looks like promising exchange based in London.  Well developed white paper, experienced team, located in politically stable jurisdiction.

It's just a good platform that is simple and affordable for implementing various projects, so so many ICOs are made at its base.

I think there are two reasons:
1) Ethereum has a very powerful dev team and community, the platform is very reliable and easy to use.
2) Ethereum are widely accepted by the investor to buy ico tokens, I think most exchanges has eth/usdt pair, that means the investor can easily to buy ico tokens by eth.

because ethereum has a smart contracts that can be use to create a token for their ICO, and by the use of ethereum blockchain. it is more convenience to them to use ERC-20 token if they dont have a wallet platform yet, and it soon to be followed. so most of the ICO are base in ethereum thats why, i believe that this basing of all ICO in ethereum platform can be the reason of the huge pump in the future of ethereum. because of the demand and the usage of it world wide. this is the advantage of ethereum on all coins platform exist.

Simplicity and accessibility makes all the instigators of the ayzio choose platforms on the efirium, in bitcoin it is much more difficult!

Because it is easier to create, there are no high standard qualification to create new token. Proven fast in terms of token transaction. Pioneer means if you are on Ethereum platform your coin will easily recognize because there are many community that is watching New Ethereum Token compared to other platform.

It's all about complexity and Simplexity. In fact, coinbase already considered to add ERC20 assets after the coinbase audit has given a result about ERC20 assets is stable assets.

You can see that on the latest news of coinbase to open the possibility to add ERC20 assets to the GDAX platform before it will be listed on the coinbase platform.

And in addition, there is a lot of demand for ethereum assets rather than another asset.

At ETH fast transaction and the most convenient that in my opinion considerably increases chance of that people will invest even more

Hey guys - wanted to inform you guys about our project Artis Turba. Although the ICO phase is already over, development has started and will proceed continuously from here on. It is for this reason that I believe that it offers a golden opportunity for people to participate as the price of the coin is still very low with respect to its potential price.

Very difficult question.Actually a few coins, no?I've always noticed that bitcoin prevails and I think that's really the case

We are aware that etherium is the second popular coins nowadays. That's why, most of the ICO are based on etherium. Moreover, it has lower value compare to Bitcoin and it has also a big potential to grow in the future.

Yes, the emergence of ETH has greatly facilitated the transactions between people, so that in a short period of time it will be recognized by almost everyone.

Yes, that is correct aside from that we all know that most of the history of blockchain-based currencies and assets, the story has been all about Bitcoin. At a market capitalization remains the most valuable cryptocurrency. But with the rise of a new ‘chain on the — ahem — block, namely Ethereum, and new ways to fund the development of new crypto-platforms with ICOs, which is a choice for a new cryptographic assets class.

Because the ETN platform for the creation of decentralized online services on the basis of the blokchain, working on the basis of smart contracts. Implemented as a single decentralized virtual machine. As an open platform, Ethereum greatly simplifies the implementation of blokchain technology, which explains the interest not only of new start-ups, but also of the largest software developers such as Microsoft, IBM and Acronis. Interest in the platform was shown by VTB and Sberbank, Lufthansa and S7 airlines, and UNISEF international charity.

It seems to me that the platform itself just initially optimized for the launch of other projects on it. As i recall, ethereum initially laid good scalability options.         

Because it is the only platform which specializes with smartcontracts and decentralized applications as of the moment,neo is getting massive too it is called chinese ethereum which offers what ethereum's offering to the community it is literally the upgraded version of ethereum's platform and it is more future proof than ethereum that is why these new projects are being based with neo's platform instead of ethereum.

ETH is very loyal to hosting the ICO on his platform and helps developers to implement technologies in every way. Openness always contributes to this.

ETH is a smart contract, and its easy to launch an ICO on eth platform, there are many ico teams who can produce an ico within hours, and I think poeple will lose confidence in ico later

Ethereum do some great responsibility with bitcoin and with altcoins to embrace the world of smart contract. It is the platform that turn cryptocurrency upside down to gain more popularity of performing job well done towards everyone's desire that meet by ethereum platform. We can see the result in the present.

i honestly don't know why most of the answers here are repeating "it is easy"! maybe it is just a parrot behavior kind of thing but when i checked and compared ETH with other platforms i didn't find it easy at all! in fact i believe it is one of the hardest ones to create an ICO on! it is complicated, bloated and has a lot of security holes.

the only reason it is used more, in my opinion, is that ETH is more hypes than anything else in the market. sot he ICO scammers want to get paid in ETH not some altcoin that nobody knows about even though it may be so much better like Waves.

No other platform provides consistent support, community and required infra to launch the level of ICO which is required. Hence Ethereum!

Many other platforms that suppose ICO yet. Such as NEO, WAVES, ...etc.
I think that the reason of Ethereum Platform is the most choosen platform because ETH is the biggest coin of ALTS coins and is the first coin suppose smart contract.
You can see more at https://ethereum.org/

Its simple because eth now is the biggest alt coin. And in ethereum blockchain its easy to launch an ICO. And ethereum itself optimized to be used in this kind of projects.

Ethereum's blockchain was the first on which technologies of smart contracts and tokens of ERC20 are rather easily realized. During about 3 years it acquired rather big community. The main competitors appeared only 2 years ago. Therefore competitors should use rather great efforts for advance of the blockchain. The amount of capitalization and a daily turnover in the cryptomarket is of great importance. It is sign of relative stability.

The ether platform is more popular and more convenient for carrying out the ICO. Perhaps in the future there will be serious competitors, but now there are no more optimal options.

In general, it is the only company that meets the needs and has more large investors. I think many client users like it because it allows the client to interact with token and block chains in a fast transaction, and it can use the Ethernet platform when trading or sending tokens.

ICO's tokens mostly use ERC20 tokens based on Ethereum, because Ethereum's smart contracts currently have a very mature application and ecological foundation.

It depends on the developer and founder team. It's not a mandatory issue that which currency they like most. You can't deny that Ethreum is one of the most popular platforms on the blockchain system. Ethereum has a huge market volume. So that Ethreum is becoming the most potential platform in this system.

Not only that but also Ethereum is gaining ground around the world because of the easy access to this platform and get an Ethreum address very easily. Ethereum platform has some specific privilege towards the holders regarding exchanging and converting. that's why Ethereum is becoming popular and acceptable currency in this blockchain system.

This just goes to show how much potential Ethereum has.

Most ICOs run their show on Ethereum's ERC-20 platform because it is the most useful and accessible for everyone. This is what will drive the value of Ethereum upwards, it is easy to use, is actrively being developed, and is being adopted on a massive scale.

My opinion to this thread is that, most of the ICO's were based on ETH platform because this is the most usable platform ever to be used during signature bounty campaigns. This is also why ETH is the most recognized platform in the crypto market.

probably because this platform is the only established platform and provides the capabilities needed for new projects, and indeed some ICOs are based on this platform. many platform users like this because it allows clients to interact with tokens and blockchain in fast deals.

It's the speed, some ICOs like Sparkster are promising 1 million TPS. ETH based coins are kinda good, Liven is a good example they have an already established audience and just need a token to play it.
All they need is to get them on board and make them use their token, doesn't matter if they are ERC20 token they can totally pull it off with the plans they are offering.

The ethereum platform is very popular and in demand in the world of crypto currency. Therefore, most ICOs create their projects on this platform. Today, there are other platforms similar to the ethereum platform, but which have not yet proved themselves and have not yielded the proper result.

It's trusted, stable and the token created here had a good chance to get into exchange, in fact, there are already ready market for ethereum based token, as high as 90% of ico are ethereum based token and we will see more ico on ethereum based until we see Credits and Waves launch their own smart contract platform.

Ethereum is the basis of almost ICO now. It is the ground of new altcoins that comes in crypto. So don't worry for ethereum will become more stronger than today.

It is because it offers better spped. That shows the potential of ETH and how it can give better returns than even BTC.

Ethereum is the most famous and popular platform for launching new tokens. ICO projects teams choose this platform because of its developed infrastructure, a simple mechanism for creating new tokens and because of its popularity in the crypto world. But there are already competitors: EOS, Stellar, WAWES.

Because most ICOs projects use Intelligent Contracts! Currently, the Etherium Smart contract is becoming a system. Therefore, using Smart Contract helps ICOs projects to easily deploy their plans quickly.

To understand the growing popularity of Ethereum, it is important to understand why it is difficult to create new applications and currencies on the original bitcoin blockchain. There are several problems:
Bitcoin was developed as a financial system. Therefore, an essential condition of his program is the accounting balances. This means that we could easily create a new bitcoin wallet for ICO, but it is difficult to write programs that calculate and distribute tokens on top of this wallet.
Bitcoin is not a fully completed Turing system: it does not have cycles to prevent miners from falling into endless repetitions under a DOS attack. However, this is a problem with ICO implementation, as cycles allow programmers to check and recalculate information. An effective crowdsale requires recalculation of the total Deposit after each new investor, closing the ICO under certain conditions and distribution of new tokens based on the algorithm — these are functions that require completeness in Turing.
Bitcoin block generation time is too long to be suitable for ICO.
And in addition to this, ETHEREUM is developing new protocols that will also give this coin a huge advantage.None of the coins will provide such extensive functionality for the ICO.

I think the reason behind why morst of the ICO are based in ethereum platform is because of they see that the ethereum is great investment to deal with which can help them to boost and improved their services.

ethereum has smart contract that make easier to issue token for new project, even not serious project can build on top of ethereum, sometimes new project without whitepaper,  roadmap and developer can issue token.

The ethereum platform is very popular and in demand in the world of crypto currency. Therefore, most ICOs create their projects on this platform. Today, there are other platforms similar to the ethereum platform, but which have not yet proved themselves and have not yielded the proper result.

Because it is easier, Not time consuming you can easily deploy a smart contract and there you go you have your new token.
Its like ready a made blockchain the only thing you need to do is configure and program it what do you want your token will function.
Many projects use it as stepping stone and later on they are going to have their own blockchain and perform a Token swap.

Code ERC-20 is most popular algorithm in the modern world of cryptocurrencies. That’s why it used in many crypto platforms. Such systems are quite effective and reliable so don’t be doubtful about them.

I think that's because the data in Ethereum blockchain is almost unhackable and very secure.Investors and customers can do the transactions hassle free. Almost all upcoming ICO's like HostGames will be based on Ethereum apparently.

Because ERC-20 is a lot of supporters and it can be the best reference in terms of ICO selection.
Besides being easy to develop, ERC-20 is also very friendly with the UI displayed.

Etherium platform have easy develop smart contracts where tokens automatically send when you send eth to the smart contract adress.

It was because Ethereum or ERC20 based platform is still at it's rising point and has more community than the others, but lately there are projects that used another platform, due to the Ethereum or ERC20 are facing its dropping period.

Maybe because the first ethereum platform is the most superior platform, the second I heard in making ERC20 platform ethereum is the most feasible, although I think there are still cheaper ones, but for the feasibility of saying ethereum above.

It can be said that more than 50% of ethereum-based ICOs, this is because with ethereum everyone can more easily use tokens rather than making coins, this is what makes ethereum use continues to increase, making ethereum increasingly popular.
