Hey there friends, we are launching a demonstration tryout of an autonomous, open source dApp for insurance of investments in token sales (STOs, ICOs, IEOs) on the Ethereum blockchain. It will be conducted on the Rinkeby testnet so that anyone can try it without any real cost.

Just get some Rinkeby ether from https://faucet.rinkeby.io beforehand and come to the demo UI at https://demo.ico-refund.com. The first public demonstration tryout will be open today (Thursday 11th of July) at 11 AM CET for a limited time and number of people. The Rinkeby version of the platform is absolutely identical to the official one running on the main net and everyone can confirm that as the contracts are verified and public on etherscan.io.

What are the Refundable Token Offerings platform – in short:
Decentralized, open source, community-driven platform for managing a collective pool of funds, used for refunding investments in failed, abandoned or terminated ICO projects and protection against token's drop in value.
It's a 2nd-layer implementation for protection (insurance) of already made or yet to be made investment in ICO, STO or IEO - separated and independent from them. Incorporates the "DAO" principles and it's governed by the participants in it. Read more...

Make your first demo investment insurance:
Go to the list of demo RTO projects - https://demo.ico-refund.com/refundable-ico-sto-ieo, select a demo project, go to 'New Insurance', enter the amount of your investment and confirm the 2 transactions with your MetaMask plugin:
The first one is the purchase of your demo tokens and it only exists here on the demo version to simulate the investment in the project. On the main net dApp you make your investment separately just like you normally do, it is NOT made through the RTO platform.

The second one is your insurance request call to the dApp on the blockchain. In about 15 minutes your project tokens will be automatically transferred to you when the transactions are confirmed - as you have received it in exchange for your contribution to the project.
See your newly received tokens in your MetaMask plugin by clicking 'Add token' in the menu then 'Custom token' and enter the token details displayed in the project information above. Participate in the project governance via the controls on the project page.

So that is basically it, please checkout the official documentation for more info, if you have questions or need support - ask in the support chat on https://demo.ico-refund.com or even better – here – so that more people can see the problem and its solution.

Update: Announcement post added

Note: This post has been updated after the complete migration of the platform to smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain — as a a trustless, autonomous and open source dApp built on the DAO principles, providing a solution to a problem that has been unsolved until now. Below you can read why it is one of the most significant and mature decentralized applications created to date.



The RTO decentralized platform utilizes the roles of all participants in the token sale and lifecycle of an early stage projects — owners, investors, and community, to provide maximum value for each. It’s a second-layer implementation for insurance of already made or yet to be made investment in ICO, STO or IEO — the insurance is made separately, independent from the investment.

It covers the investors against losses not only from clear cases of exit scams, like the lately popular centralized and predisposed to corruption IEO method, but from any kind of problem with the project or depreciation of its token value.

The investors themselves decide if a project needs to be refunded or not, not a single individual or a group of people in power. If they are unable to reach a consensus by themselves, the project status can be disputed publicly in front of the community as arbiters in a unique voting process handled by the dApp on the blockchain.

The dApp’s data storage and logic are written in Solidity, open-source, and live entirely on the Ethereum blockchain — transparent and immutable.

The platform’s main goal is to support and give more security the average non-institutional investor as we see increasing privileges of the larger investors, more private sales, and deals behind a closed door.

Thank you for the reply. Yes sure, send me a PM, as a newbie I can't
