181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][RATING] Digital Rating Agency (ICOs, cryptocurrencies): launching on: December 07, 2017, 07:53:42 AM


DigRate Rating Committee issued a Quality Rate High and A2 investment rating score to United Traders – medium-to-high probability of investment return, considerable sensitivity to market environment.

The project team has a pragmatic approach to the problems existing in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and proposes to solve them by introducing a complex of products to the market, within the framework of a single platform. The concept and tools the developers offer are necessary for the further development of the entire cryptocurrency market.

The platform modules created by United Traders already have working prototypes, which should allow it to attract large amounts of capital. The project conducts a massive advertising campaign. The team has presented a detailed road map and financial plan, specifying its targets. All of the above leave no doubt as to the serious intentions of the project’s developers and the possibility of implementing the project.

Despite the undoubted competence of the developers, some aspects of the project raise questions. For example, it is unclear how the project plans to solve the problem of high loads on the global investment marketplace technically, as the transaction processing speed of the Ethereum network is rather low. Although the team has presented business models for each of the products, some elements still raise questions. DigRate also questions the potential attraction of banks to participate in cryptocurrency trading.

The project team has not provided an analysis of the competitive environment, and has not disclosed information about the legal structure of the company. Similar solutions are being developed on the market, so the platform will be in a tough competitive environment, but we believe that the team has enough competencies to make a worthy product. Despite the developers stating that during the presale the project attracted several large investment funds, information about them has not been disclosed.

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

The DigRate team has assigned “B1” rating score of investment attractiveness to Nousplatform project: considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

Nousplatform is a platform for investment funds and investors. It includes a personal back office, statistical reports, and wallets, as well as lists of funds and their ratings. For investors, the platform is a turnkey solution for managing assets. The funds are to have access to a user-friendly interface to conduct business and a platform to attract potential investors.

Although blockchain technology and smart contracts both solve the problems of transparency, high investment entry thresholds and portfolio diversification, they also create risk for investors. Nousplatform also is a guarantor that verifies fund licenses in the process of registration; however, further control over the funds is to be carried out by a third party via escrow accounts.

One of the main missions of the team is to reduce risk for investors through blockchain technology. However, the use of NOUS tokens as a single currency carries high risk, as the token is highly sensitive to market conditions.The Nousplatform project, in its current version, is highly sensitive to market manipulation.

More details about the factors that affect the investment attractiveness of the project can be found in our report.

Команда DigRate присвоила проекту Nousplatform оценку “B1”: cодержит существенные риски, высокая чувствительность к рыночной конъюнктуре.

Коммерческая платформа Nousplatform предназначена для взаимодействия фондов и инвесторов. В нее входят личные кабинеты, статистика, кошельки, списки фондов. Для инвесторов платформа ⎼ решение под ключ для управления своими средствами. Фонды также получают удобный интерфейс для работы и площадку по привлечению потенциальных инвесторов.

Блокчейн и смарт-контракты Nousplatform не только решают проблемы прозрачности, высокого порога входа в инвестиции и диверсификации портфеля, но и создают определенные риски для инвесторов.

Также Nousplatform выступает гарантом проверки лицензий фондов в процессе их регистрации, однако дальнейший контроль над фондами будет осуществляться третьими лицами ⎼ заверителями.

Одна из главных миссий команды ⎼ уменьшение рисков для инвесторов путем внедрения блокчейна. Однако использование токенов NOUS в качестве единственной валюты несет в себе большой уровень риска, так как токен обладает высокой чувствительностью к конъюнктуре рынка. Проект Nousplatform, в нынешнем его исполнении, высоко чувствителен к рыночным манипуляциям.

Подробнее о плюсах и минусах проекта, а также наших рекомендациях по его улучшению читайте в нашем отчете.

Команда DigRate присвоила проекту NITRO оценку “А2”: умеренно высокая вероятность долгосрочной доходности инвестиций, чувствительность к конъюнктуре рынка средняя.

Проект NITRO ставит перед собой задачу по объединению всех участников игровой индустрии в единую экосистему. Это позволит решить проблему отсутствия финансирования развивающихся игровых студий, которые не могут реализовывать свои идеи по причине серьезной монополизации рынка игровой индустрии. Решение о финансировании того или иного проекта будет приниматься держателями NOX, что, разумеется, должно привлечь в проект огромное количество игроков, чья мечта по непосредственному участию в процессе запуска игр наконец осуществится.

У NITRO опытная и профессиональная команда, проект поддерживается iCandy Ventures Ltd ⎼ дочерней компанией iCandy Interactive Limited, публично торгуемой на Австралийской фондовой бирже (ASX: ICI), а также ветеранами игровой индустрии и профессионалами венчурного инвестирования. При этом на данном этапе у проекта отсутствует рабочий продукт, несмотря на то, что участники команды обладают опытом запуска проектов и управления в данной индустрии.

Очевидный плюс проекта ⎼ бизнес-модель, позволяющая поддерживать естественный рост курса токена NOX, однако успех проекта в целом будет во многом зависеть от интереса игрового сообщества к NITRO.

Подробнее о факторах, влияющих на инвестиционную привлекательность проекта, вы можете узнать, изучив наш отчет.

The DigRate team has assigned “A2” rating score of investment attractiveness to NITRO project: medium-to-high probability of investment return, considerable sensitivity to market environment.
The NITRO project aims to unite all participants in the gaming industry into a single ecosystem to solve the lack of financing problem for developing gaming studios that cannot afford to realize their ideas due to the monopolization of the gaming industry market. The decision to fund each project is to be made by NOX holders, which should involve an enormous number of players, whose dream of directly participating in the process of launching games would finally come true.
NITRO has an experienced and professional team supported by iCandy Ventures Ltd - a subsidiary of iCandy Interactive Limited, publicly listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: ICI). The company is supported by veterans of the gaming industry and VC professionals. Despite the fact that the team members have experience in launching projects and management in this industry, at the moment, the project does not have a working product.
The project’s key advantage is its business model, which allows it to support the natural growth of the token rate. However, the success of the project as a whole will likely mostly depend on interest from the gaming community in NITRO.
More details about the factors that affect the investment attractiveness of the project can be found in our report.

DigRate Rating Committee issued a Quality Rate Medium and B1 investment rating score to INS Ecosystem – considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

The founders of INS Ecosystem have experience in the field of product delivery. The project participants are active on various thematic forums, which has made the project known in professional circles. INS Ecosystem has signed cooperation memorandums with major manufacturers.
The team has not identified a real-life asset base that would protect investors from token devaluation. The legal side of the company had limited transparency at the time of the drafting of this report.

A specific timeframe for the stages of project development is not present in the roadmap. The team shared some additional information in the course of our communications, although we believe the information should be available to all project participants.

Pros and cons of the project in our report.

Рейтинговый комитет DigRate присвоил проекту INS Ecosystem Quality Rate Medium и инвестиционную оценку B1 - Проект содержит существенные риски, высокая чувствительность к рыночной конъюнктуре.

Основатели INS Ecosystem имеют опыт в сфере доставки продуктов. Участники проекта принимают активное участие в различных тематических форумах, что делает проект известным в профессиональных кругах. INS Ecosystem заключила меморандум о сотрудничестве с крупными FMCG-производителями.

Команда не упоминает о реально существующей базе активов, которая служила бы для инвесторов защитой от обесценивания токенов. Юридическая сторона компании на момент составления отчета не отличается высокой степенью прозрачности.

В Road Map отсутствуют конкретные временные рамки этапов развития проекта. Команда поделилась частью информации в ходе общения, но мы считаем, что информация должна быть доступна всем участникам проекта и в полном объеме.

Kickcity project, B1 rating score of investment attractiveness: considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

The aim of KickCity is to create a decentralized platform to host events and attract participants. The platform will operate on the basis of a decentralized P2P Protocol for event-marketing, in which users will be rewarded for promoting various events. P2P-Protocol of KickCity will use smart contracts for the distribution of remuneration among users, based on their contribution to the promotion of events. The developers claim that such a system will have exponential growth of interactions within the platform, and a token KCY will become a universal token for the event industry.

In our opinion, the team actually solves the existing problem of the ineffectiveness of online advertising and inflated cost of participation in events and offers promising idea for monetizing content and actions aimed at the promotion of events.

The team has positioned itself as an international level player, but at the moment it is far from reality. Platform KickCity first has to become known and visited one. The team pointed to their competitive advantages, however, they do not consider similar projects, based on the blockchain. The project has not yet attracted the attention of large investors.

The liquidity of the token KCY and the success of the project as a whole will directly depend on the ability of team members to build up an effective campaign to attract the public to the project. Also, the team doesn't describe any regulatory risks of holding the ICO.

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

Проект KickCity, уровень инвестиционной привлекательности В1: Содержит существенные риски, высокая чувствительность к рыночной конъюнктуре.

Цель проекта KickCity ⎼ создание децентрализованной платформы для размещения мероприятий и привлечения участников. Платформа будет функционировать на базе децентрализованного P2P-протокола для ивент-маркетинга, в рамках которого пользователи будут вознаграждаться за продвижение различных мероприятий. Разработчики утверждают, что такая​ ​система​ ​будет​ ​иметь​ ​экспоненциальный​ ​рост​ ​взаимодействий​ ​внутри​ ​платформы, а токен KCY​ ​станет универсальным токеном для ивент-индустрии.

На наш взгляд, команда действительно решает существующие на сегодняшний день проблемы неэффективности онлайн-рекламы и завышенной стоимости участия в мероприятиях и предлагает перспективную идею по монетизации контента и действий, направленных на продвижение мероприятий.

Команда позиционирует себя как игрока международного уровня, однако на данный момент это далеко от реальности. Платформе KickCity еще предстоит стать узнаваемым и посещаемым ресурсом. Команда указала на конкурентные преимущества, однако не рассмотрены аналогичные проекты, базирующиеся на блокчейне. Проект пока не привлек внимания крупных инвесторов.

Ликвидность токена KCY и успех проекта в целом будут напрямую зависеть от способности членов команды выстроить грамотную кампанию по привлечению публики к проекту. Также команда не описала регулятивные риски проведения ICO.

190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] DreamTeam - the first Esports recruitment and management platform on: November 21, 2017, 09:37:37 AM
The DreamTeam project is a decentralized platform for the creation, development of e-sport teams and building an ecosystem of management of relations between participants in the e-sports industry and online games.

DigRate Rating Committee issued a Fraud Rate Medium and B1 investment rating score to DreamTeam project – Satisfactory Level – considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

DreamTeam founders have extensive experience in e-sports and gaming, as well as the necessary skills to build a business model. Project participants are active in various thematic forums, meaning the project is known in professional circles. However, the proposed solutions show blockchain technology is not a necessary condition to accomplish the company’s goals.

Besides, the price of the token directly depends on market demand for the company’s services, meaning investment returns depend on decisions made by the team, and the marketing strategy, among other factors.

Pros and cons of the project in our report.

Dear Digrate editorial team,

DreamTeam highly values all input and reviews provided by the third parties even if some information in them may be misleading or even false. In this instance, Digrate.com posted a review of the DreamTeam platform and rated DreamTeam as a B1 investment with considerable risk exposure and high sensitivity to market conditions. We strongly disagree with such a ranking and reviews of other well-respected portals support our claim:

- icobench.com gave the DreamTeam ICO profile a 5.0 mark with an overall score of 4.2
- tokentops.com expert praised the DreamTeam and gave the overall mark of 4.5 stars
- icorating.com gave DreamTeam a high Invest score and low Risk score.

All of the above rankings regard DreamTeam highly both in investment perspectives and esports development potential.



We are glad that the project DreamTeam is constantly developing and that your team takes the remarks in the report in such a responsible way. Also, we would like to thank you for the feedback.

It should be mentioned  that the information provided in the report was relevant at the moment of its creation (03.11.2017) and, after analyzing your objections, we are ready to provide the following comments

Let’s address all Digrate.com concerns one-by-one:

On the page #11, a question is asked: Does the problem the project plans to solve really exist?
DreamTeam strongly believes that such a problem does really exist for 250-300M players worldwide, according to the Newzoo Global Esports Market Report. Right now no all-in-one platform offers a comprehensive list of tools and utilities to kick-start an esports career. We are faced with a multi-million audience that is stuck in development as there is no simple and effective solution that can solve their pains without spending thousands of dollars and weeks of time to establish a team and gather players of similar skill level.

The market problem, which should be solved by the project, does exist, which is confirmed by the score 5 points (out of 7 possible). In the rating committee’s opinion, a better score will not reflect the objective situation, because there is no full and exhaustive information in White Paper concerning the fundamental problems ,which also affect the industry development as well as the increase in cybersport clubs number and the ecosystem creation.

Here are some of them:

1. The interaction rules among the cybersport market players really depend on the games publishers’ policy, which makes it difficult for other market players (teams, leagues) to develop the infrastructure and ,subsequently, is the main risk for investing in the industry.
2. Juridically the publisher can always reclaim the content,where these or those game fragments are used. The influential Mass Media can purchase the rights and translations only with the authorization of the game publisher - not the leagues or multigamings.
3. The juridical base for disputes settlements among the members of the cybersport global market is missing. Also, the difference in legislation of different countries allows to interpret many cases and situations in the interaction among the cybersport industry members in a different way.
Moreover, the players’ social and psychological peculiarities  may also have an impact on the market development. This aspect is worth a deeper scientific researching.


Quote
On the page #14, a question is asked: Does the company understand its competition?
Well, we’ve actually done a thorough analysis of DreamTeam competition. DreamTeam Crew has many years of hands-on experience in esports, and in our opinion, eSports.com and Eloplay are not our competitors by any margin. Drawing from our experience and having gathered an Advisory Board and Partners who have been working with various gaming and esports sub-industries, we are fully aware of all available options out there and how the esports industry is stagnating because of their incomprehensiveness. Our CEO, Alexander Kokhanovskyy, has 17 years of experience in the Esports industry; created one of the most popular teams in the history of Esports – Natus Vincere (Na`Vi); shareholder of ESForce, the 3rd biggest Esports entity funded by the USM Holdings. He worked his way up from an amateur player to a pro who represented his country on the international level on the world championship (World Cyber Games). Being a seasoned esports player, he utilizes all of his experience to solve actual esports problems and help it become on par with regular sports

A high score -6 points (out of 7 possible) of the criterium “competition knowledge”  shows that the DigRate rating committee agrees that DreamTeam has a rather deep understanding of its rivals.

A better score is not given because  there is no information about the development of virtual and augmented reality game segments in White Paper. They will pressure the conjuncture and influence the profit sharing among the members of the game and cybersport market . What is more, the analysis ignores the platforms that are local and are not related to the direct rivals of the project but affect the difference between supply and demand at the online games and cybersport market. It should be mentioned, that in this case we DO NOT mean the projects, which are responsible only for organizing bets on cybersport events.

As an example, here is the list of cybersport projects, which are not the direct rivals of DreamTeam.
•   Eloplay (platform for holding tournaments in cybersport field, based on blockchain technologies).
•   Playkey ( platform for decentralized online games streaming)
•   eSports.com (platform for tactics, strategy and all the other aspects of cybersport educating, as well as the amateur and professions training and trading with real and virtual goods.
•   VRCoin (platform for arranging decentralized cybersport tournaments with the win prize distribution , based on the smart contracts.


Quote
On the page #17, a question is asked:  Is blockchain technology a solution to the market problem?
We firmly believe that all the information available on our platform should be secure and visible to everyone, and cannot be altered. All of this can be done only through utilizing the blockchain technology and smart-contracts. This way DreamTeam can ensure that when third parties sign contracts, every participant obliges to the terms written down in it. Without the blockchain technology, smart-contracts are impossible to implement. Smart-contracts protect all the arrangements from retroactive changes. By using them on DreamTeam, we can guarantee payments of promised sums to the players and fulfillment of all undertaken obligations to the tournament organizers and sponsors. A big issue is players’ salaries and tournament prize money payouts. This is a major irritation point even for those who were able to find time, money and go through the hurdles of creating a team on their own. There is too much fraud even at the professional level, more so for the amateurs. It’s often the case that tournament prize payouts are delayed up to six months, and salaries are not paid according to contracts. DreamTeam addresses these issues and will develop a wide range of services that function using smart contracts to ensure zero fraud, timely payouts, and secure financial operations management.

For example, teams can set their KPI’s for the team manager and team coach, and they, in turn, set personal KPI’s for each player. Then, after a period of time (e.g., after a month), everyone is auto-checked by smart contracts and depending on the results, all participants of the process receive their salary and bonuses. The same goes for tournament prize payout, a smart contract is signed before the tournament start, and after the tournament and every team will immediately receive a payment according to their placement results. DreamTeam smart-contract, therefore, provide limitless opportunities for a variety of spheres. With unlocking of blockchain and smart contracts technologies, we have a unique opportunity to build one-of-a-kind platform and payment gateway for players, teams, tournaments, and sponsors.

Blockchain technology, used as a base for the DreamTeam platform, is definitely a solution to the problem of financial transactions security and the regulating of a new-generation financial ecosystem. But the project’s description doesn’t fully answer the following question:  will this blockchain technology help to reduce the role of intermediaries at the game and cybersport market, uniting all the elements of management, analytics, coaching, marketing and media instruments as well as the qualitative analysis of a large data amount. In order to introduce such platform functions as players searching and HR, game practice acquisition, tournaments arranging and organizing, creating reports for the sponsor, blockchain technology and smart contracts are not necessary.

On the page #20, a question is asked: Is there already a working product that can be sold to customers?
The DreamTeam Beta platform went live in October and we’ve already reached a 1 user per minute registration rate. There have been over 20,000 registrations in two weeks since the launch and players are very active in the process of creating and joining CS:GO teams on DreamTeam.

There is no doubt that today the beta-version 1.0 of the site Dreamteam.gg is in the working order but it its functions are restricted , with no special differences from the similar centralized projects of this kind.  After the realization of the  platform functions set, which is specified in White Paper, the DigRate rating committee will grant the product 6 or more points.

To be objective, it is important to say that in contrast to the rivals’ sites DreamTeam.gg has a clearer navigation and a better level of usability.
On GitHub one can see a simple published smart contract in one line of code, which initializes DTT token. Smart contract introduction is to be launched at the end of 2018.

Quote
On the page #24, a question is asked: Is the issuance of tokens limited?
According to the Legal Token Sale Agreement found on our website the issuance of tokens is limited: “The Seller will issue the amount of DreamTeam Tokens equivalent to $45,000,000. If the Seller will not sale all issued DreamTeam Tokens during the Sale Period, then all the rest that remain will be burned out.”

DreamTeam has the first presale and sale soft cap of $2M and a hard cap of $6M. The overall cap was lowered from $75M to $45M, and all unsold tokens are burned. Therefore DreamTeam issues a limited number of tokens.

The information has been updated. As the rating committee reconsiders the criterium “limited token issue” the score can rise from 3 to 6 points. Also, it is highly desirable that DreamTeam should reveal the question about the token emission limiting not only during the period of ICO conduct but also for future periods after the platform is launched.


Quote
On the page #31, a question is asked: Has the company taken preventive measures to avoid problems with ICO market regulators?
As answered in the above question, we cooperate with top law firms that consult such giants as Apple, Facebook, Google, and eBay to avoid any complications with ICO market regulations. We structure our token not as a security, swap, futures or forward, but as a utility token - meaning commodity.

According to the data in the titles about the registration and juridical structure of the main company ZeroGravity LTD, the only beneficial owner and CEO is Alexander Kochanovsky.
The  definition “ transparency of the project’s juridical structure” implies a wider concept and ,apart from the titles publishing, includes the following parameters of the investment attractiveness:
•   there should be corporate institutes controlling the project assets usage(for example, escrow-intermediaries usage)
•   the transparency in terms of owning the financial assets of the company (for instance, in the titles there is no information on the authorized capital share belonging to Vladimir Panchenko, although on site https://token.dreamteam.gg/  he is called a co-founder of the project);
•   indicators of the corporate business consolidation for the financial calculations of the investment transaction basis  (for example, there are several financially differentiated business directions within one main company)


The agreement concerning the tokens sale was amended in terms of jurisprudence. The amendments are as follows: the USA citizens and residents and/or residents of the following countries and territories: the USA, South Korea,Japan, Iran, Syria, CNR, Cuba, DPRK, Abu Dhabi and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea - have no right to take part in the first phase of DTT tokens sale.
Although, when the second phase takes place, they are not forbidden to purchase DTT tokens.
As the rating committee reconsiders the criterium “ taking measures” , the score can be changed from 5 to 6 points.


Quote
On the page #34, a question is asked: Is the project popular on social networks and in thematic communities?
At this point in time, we are mostly focused on developing our platform, which is key as we want to offer the best experiences for players on a very tight schedule. According to Similarweb open data source have neared the 1M visits per month. Please follow the link https://imgur.com/a/lXQWp for Similar Web stats.

As for our social media presence, thousands of users have flocked to them already and follow DreamTeam news and weekly updates. Many more have signed up for our newsletter where we discuss the latest developments in DreamTeam. We are confident that as our platform grows more and more people will naturally flow to our social media pages to discuss latest esports news and more.

The information was updated as at the date of 19.11.2017. As the rating committee reconsiders the question, the score can be increased up to 3 points.


Quote
On the page #36, a question is asked: Is the project widely discussed in blockchain news resources?
DreamTeam Crew received a prestigious “Blockchain Best Industry Application Award” at the Global Fintech & Blockchain China Summit 2017 and received high praises from the Organizing Committee of the Award for the breakthrough application of blockchain and smart-contracts technologies in Esports market development. Our platform has been noted on many specialized blockchain news resources and prominent media outlets such as CoinSchedule, CoinSpeaker, Forbes and more.

On the page #43, a question is asked: Does the project have a strong advisory board?
We are constantly updating the list of our advisers and partners and publicize their addition to the DreamTeam Advisory Board and Partners List. Please consult our Whitepaper for the up-to-date and Medium blog for the official press-releases.
We will continue to add high-level professionals and consultants from different spheres and will have the strongest Advisory Board compared to any other gaming/crypto ICO ever.
As of now, the DreamTeam Board was joined by:

Moe Levin – CEO of Keynote
Sundance Digiovanni – former CEO and Co-Founder of MLG, VP content and media in Blizzard
Kim Rom – an Esports and gaming veteran, and former CMO at SteelSeries and Chief Gaming officer at Kinguin.

On 17. 11.2017 DreamTeam announced that the partner of Evolution Media, which comprises Creative Artists Agency, had joined the advisory board. The partner is Salim Misa.
Two people who work in the advisory board (which consists of 4 people) personally confirmed their belonging to Advisory Board.
As the rating committee reconsiders the issue, the score can be updated up to 6 points.

On the page #44, a question is asked: Are the project’s partners large and well-known?
In the last weeks, we’ve have announced several large and well-known partners that are in their essence the most significant esports entities in the world.
As of now, the DreamTeam Partners are:

ESL - the world #1 Esports company and the biggest tournament organizer
Starladder - one of the biggest tournament organizer, platform for amateur and semi-professional gamers
Natus Vincere (Na`Vi) - one of the most popular and one of the most successful Esports teams on the planet.

On 03.11.2017 DreamTeam announced it became partners with Natus Vincere-it is a professional cybersport club, which is a world leader in the field.

As the rating committee reconsiders the question, the score can be increased up to 6 points.


Quote
On the page #46, a question is asked: Is the project attracting large VC investors?
This is not a relevant characteristics, and it seems the Digrate team was unable to grasp the DreamTeam investment idea fully. Our investment model does not correspond with the idea of attracting VC money. Currently, DreamTeam leadership is financing the platform development out of their own pocket.
Moreover, we receive dozens of requests at conferences and even more emails and calls from people who want to buy out the DreamTeam share in the project. But we have a different financing model and have set up a dedicated token sale for all interested parties to join in December. Through the token sale, DreamTeam offers a large swath of opportunities for token buyers from all over the world who want to partake in the development of the greatest all-in-one esports platform. We are keen to ensure that the esports community isn’t passive on the issue of its development perspectives but has a vote in the creation of a uniform esports eco-system.

Venture capital attraction is not a compulsory aspect of the DreamTeam business model, but large venture investors’ support plays an important role as an image element for increasing the potential investors’ trust. The venture fund also helps its portfolio company to design a corporate structure, introduce the product to the market, to establish contacts and set up  strategic management. In the whole, the fund will help the project to increase its value for the customer as quickly as possible. Increasing the value for the customer means rocketing the capitalization, which is the  main value for the startup and investors. On 17.11.2017 DreamTeam announced that the advisory board  had been joined by the partner Evolution Media - Salim Misa.

As the rating committee reconsiders the question, the score can be increased up to 3 points.




Conclusion:

DigRate’s aim is to show all the advantages and disadvantages of the ICO conducted by DreamTeam. The date 03. 11.2017 saw the project not completely ready for carrying out ICO, which can be confirmed by the fact the pre-sale date was 25 days postponed  ( from 13, November, to 7, December) and the decrease of Overall Cap by 60% (from 75 to 45 million dollars) . DigRate believes that DreamTeam is sincere and enthusiastic enough in its attempts to avoid the previous mistakes concerning the general concept creation ,as well as the marketing and economic parts of the project.
According to the update as at the date of 19.11.2017 and taking into account all the corrections the investment attractiveness rate can be increased from 4,1 points tp 4,6 points, which means the rate is B1-Considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

Команда DigRate присвоила проекту Ammbr оценку “А2”: умеренно высокая вероятность долгосрочной доходности инвестиций, чувствительность к конъюнктуре рынка средняя.

Цель компании Ammbr- при помощи блокчейн технологии произвести “интернет покрытие” слаборазвитых и труднодоступных стран. Сеть должна поддерживать ряд способов беспроводной связи, в числе которых wi-fi, широкополосная связь (LTE) и радиочастотные соединения.
Компания Ammbr подчеркивает, что является некоммерческой организацией, не планирующей извлекать прибыль из Ammbr mesh сетей. Все токен-платежи за использование каналов связи будут распределяться между участниками сети - владельцами модулей, что позволит сделать доступ в интернет малозатратным.

Актуальность проекта обуславливается тем, что доля населения, не имеющего доступа к интернету, составляет 53%, что составляет примерно 4 млрд. человек.

Блокчейн является основополагающим условием для функционирования децентрализованной сети Ammbr mesh. Добавляются новые метрики учета и безопасности пропускных возможностей сети. При помощи технологии блокчейн Ammbr вводит цифровую идентификацию участника сети для взаимодействия с другими пользователями.

Разработчики проекта сумели предоставить четкую стратегию развития и финансовый план. При разработке первой учитывались достижения других крупных компаний. Нельзя не отметить прозрачную юридическую структуру и профессионализм членов команды проекта.

Проект не получил широкой огласки и популярности - особенно это касается новостных ресурсов и социальных сетей. В публичном доступе нет никаких фактов, доказывающих заинтересованность инвесторов . Информация о том, что некоторые страны официально поддержали Ammbr, также не подтверждена.

The DigRate team has assigned “A2” rating score of investment attractiveness to Ammbr project: medium-to-high probability of investment return, considerable sensitivity to market environment.

Ammbr’s aim is to extend the internet to people, who do not have it nowadays, by employing blockchain technology. The network is based on the blockchain technology and supports a number of wireless technologies, including wi-fi, broadband (LTE) and radio frequency connections.
With the total population of the planet at 7.6 billion, the share of the population without access to the Internet is 53%, which means the project is quite relevant.

The project emphasizes that it is a non-profit organization that does not plan to profit from Ammbr mesh networks. All token-payments for the use of communication channels will be distributed between the network participants - the owners of the modules, which will make access to the Internet low-cost.

Blockchain is a fundamental factor of the decentralized Ammbr mesh network. New metrics for accounting and security of network bandwidth are added. With the help of blockchain technology, Ammbr introduces the digital identification of the network participant for interaction with other users. As a result, only the owner with the digital key can control the Ammbr parameters.

The project developers managed to create a crisp strategy and a solid financial plan. While developing the strategy, the team members took into consideration other huge companies’ achievements. The juridical structure of Ammbr is transparent and the project experts are experienced and skilled.

The project is not in the spotlight of public attention. It is not widely discussed in different news resources and social media. There are no any facts or documents proving that there are countries ready to support Ammbr officially and investors who are really interested in the issue.

More details about the factors that affect the investment attractiveness of the project can be found in our report.

DigRate team has thoroughly analyzed project Nitro - an independent, blockchain-based online collaboration platform, which seeks to allow participation in the video-games economy, to connect various stakeholders, and to achieve growth for the overall Nitro network.

DigRate assessed a risk of fraud as LOW, which means that project Nitro has clear objectives, sufficient resources and, what is more important, a highly experienced team and founders, who really want to build a new video-game community capable to change the whole game industry.

Nitro creates a platform - Nitro Marketplace - which will solve one of the key problems that faces the game industry now - non-transparent system of funding of new games. Nitro ecosystem will enable Promising Game Studios to enter a monopolistic game market and present new projects; this will also make the gamers' dream of participation in game creation come true - it will be gamers who decide which project Nitro will fund.

Команда DigRate тщательно изучила проект Nitro - независимую платформу на основе блокчейн для онлайн-сотрудничества, которая стремится обеспечить участие геймеров в экономике видеоигр, дать возможность общаться всем заинтересованным сторонам и добиться роста общей сети Nitro.

DigRate оценила риск мошенничества как LOW, что значит проект имеет ясные цели, достаточные ресурсы для их достижения, и, что самое главное - опытную команду и основателей, которые действительно стремятся создать новую экосистему, способную изменить всю индустрию видеоигр. Nitro создает платформу Nitro Marketplace, которая решит одну из ключевых проблем индустрии на сегодня - не достаточно прозрачную систему финансирования новых игр.

Nitro позволит перспективным игровым студиям войти на монополизированный рынок игр и представить свои проекты; также Nitro осуществит мечту всех геймеров - ведь именно они будут решать, какой проект будет финансироваться платформой Nitro.

The project’s objective is to develop an automatic building materials trading platform by uniting customers, suppliers and logistic companies in one single system without any third-party involvement.

Judging by the WP text, the project is insignificant. It is written in an illiterate way, with slang expressions. The author of the chapter under the headline “Financial plan” fails to bring home the main idea.

The usage of blockchain technology is not explained properly. At the moment there is an array of trading platforms, which can function without it.

Nowadays the team cannot boast of MVP – it does not exist. Our request to provide a GitHub code was declined.

Also, the tokens turnover and their price increase in the long run are not substantiated. The developers claim, that before ICO they are going to launch a fiat currency platform and only after that they are to start switching to blockchain. The question is raised: “If the service works perfectly on the base of fiat currency, will there be any transition to blockchain at all?”

The project’s telegram channel is vapid. The team either tend to be superficial in their answers or simply ignore replying.

The juridical structure of the company is far from being transparent, the developers conceal the information on the topic.

There is no any mention of any preventive measures, which would help to avoid issues with ICO market regulators. Face-to-face communication does not bring any results because the information is not commented.

All members of the team are very young, and it is hardly believable they are competent experts who have already had some expe
rience in handling projects of this kind. It seems that the team have not thought too much about the appropriate introduction of blockchain technology in terms of their project and lack necessary knowledge in the field.

Данный проект ставит перед собой задачу без посредничества третьих сторон развить автоматизированную площадку по торговле строительными материалами, объединив заказчиков, поставщиков и логистические компании в одну систему.

О несерьезности проекта можно судить, в первую очередь, по тексту WP. Он написан неграмотно, с использованием сленга. Глава под названием “Финансовый план” не раскрыта.

Не обосновано использование технологии блокчейн. На сегодняшний день существует масса торговых площадок, которые прекрасно функционируют без него.

На данный момент отсутствует MVP. В просьбе предоставить код на гитхабе было отказано.

Также не обоснован оборот токенов и рост их цены в перспективе. Разработчики утверждают, что до начала ICO они запустят платформу на расчетах фиатными валютами и только потом будут переходить на криптовалюту. Возникает вопрос: если сервис будет отлично работать на базе фиатных валют, будет ли осуществлен переход на блокчейн?

Телеграм-канал проекта бессодержательный. Команда поверхностно отвечает на вопросы или не отвечает вообще.

Юридическая структура компании не транспарентна, разработчики не раскрывают информацию по данной теме.

Отсутствует упоминание о превентивных мерах , которые помогли бы избежать проблем с регуляторами рынка ICO. При личном общении эта информация не комментируется.

Все члены команды очень молодые, их опыт ведения подобного рода дел и профессионализм вызывают сомнения. Создается впечатление, что команда не продумала внедрение технологии блокчейн в рамках своего проекта и не обладает достаточными знаниями в этой области.

Проект DreamTeam - децентрализованная платформа для создания, развития киберспортивных команд и построения экосистемы управления отношений между участниками индустрии киберспорта и онлайн игр.

Рейтинговый комитет DigRate присвоил проекту DreamTeam Fraud Rate Medium и инвестиционную оценку B1 - Удовлетворительный уровень - Проект содержит существенные риски, высокая чувствительность к рыночной конъюнктуре.

Основатели DreamTeam имеют достаточный опыт в сфере киберспорта и гейминга и необходимые навыки для построения бизнес-модели. Участники проекта принимают активное участие в различных тематических форумах, что делает проект известным в профессиональных кругах. Но предложенные командой решения показывают, что блокчейн не является необходимым условием для реализации данной идеи.

Помимо прочего, цена токена напрямую зависит от спроса на рынке на услуги, предоставляемые компанией. Поэтому прибыльность инвестиции, в свою очередь, зависит от решений, принимаемых командой, от маркетинговой стратегии и многих других факторов.

The DreamTeam project is a decentralized platform for the creation, development of e-sport teams and building an ecosystem of management of relations between participants in the e-sports industry and online games.

DigRate Rating Committee issued a Fraud Rate Medium and B1 investment rating score to DreamTeam project – Satisfactory Level – considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

DreamTeam founders have extensive experience in e-sports and gaming, as well as the necessary skills to build a business model. Project participants are active in various thematic forums, meaning the project is known in professional circles. However, the proposed solutions show blockchain technology is not a necessary condition to accomplish the company’s goals.

Besides, the price of the token directly depends on market demand for the company’s services, meaning investment returns depend on decisions made by the team, and the marketing strategy, among other factors.

The DigRate team has assigned B1 rating score of investment attractiveness to Lala World project: considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

Advantages of the ICO are the experienced team, the strong Advisory Board, the social importance of the project, clearly formulated problems and a thoughtful plan for the project implementation. The main disadvantages are the absence of a marketing strategy and the lack of levers that could ensure the turnover of tokens. The possibility of obtaining a number of licenses and signing partnership agreements also raise doubts.

DigRate присудил проекту LaLa World оценку B1. По мнению экспертов проект содержит существенные риски для инвесторов и обладает высокой чувствительностью к рыночной конъюнктуре.

Плюсами ICO являются наличие профильного опыта у команды, качественный Advisory Board, социальная важность проекта, четко сформулированные проблемы и продуманный план по реализации проекта. Основным минусом можно обозначить отсутствие маркетинговой стратегии, отсутсвие очевидных рычагов, которые смогли бы обеспечить оборот токенов. Сомнения вызывают также возможности получения ряда лицензий и подписания партнерских соглашений.
