More Details

The ZILLA founders share the common vision to create an ICO purchasing platform. ZILLA will act as a gateway to onboard new Crypto enthusiasts to easily and safely participate in various crowd-vetted ICOs, while also allowing companies to do an ICO more effectively.

ICO crowdsales are becoming more commonplace.With more than 1500 ongoing ICOs and counting, it is becoming overwhelming for buyers to keep track, compare and verify between various ICOs. Moreover, the ever growing complexity of the ICO environment for new-would-be crypto enthusiasts is both astounding and paralyzing. No simple consumer-friendly and intuitive platform exists that enables participants to conveniently grasps and compare competing ICOs.

In addition, there is no central authority or institution (by design) that is a reference point for new crypto enthusiasts. The discovery of new ICOs remains a challenge. Before the decision is made to participate in an ICO, potential participants must painstakingly learn about how proposed projects will work, investigate the backgrounds and qualifications of the team behind the projects, and understand exactly what they are purchasing. The risk of scams and fake crowdsales undermine the credibility of the sector. The process of completing KYC requirements for multiple projects is time-consuming.

These issues reduce the amount of attention each ICO gets, and as the number of ICOs increases, maximizing exposure for quality ICOs becomes more important.


ZILLA aims to provide a unified marketplace for curated ICO crowd sales in one app - presenting it akin to Amazon and its products or Etrade and the Stock Market.

Each listing will have all the information participants will need to make an informed decision, and be able to commit with a couple of clicks.

We aim to target the app at hotbeds of ICO trade we've identified: not just the western markets (in English) but China, Japan and Korea as well.

Our upcoming token crowdsale

To fund its further development and future expansion of our team, to understand the experiences of a token issuer, as well as gather a community around our platform, we'll be conducting a token crowdsale.

The crowdsale is projected to begin in October 2017.

If any ZLA token remains unsold at its conclusion, ZILLA will sell the remaining tokens on the  app for 10 USD each (price subject to company discretion).

ZLA tokens can be sold on exchanges for any price (subject to market rates), or used on our platform to save on other token sale fees.

Companies, funds, and individuals alike are all invited to participate in the ZILLA Token Crowdsale, with the following exceptions due to legalities:
Citizens of the United States are not allowed to participate.
Citizens of Singapore are not allowed to participate.


Allocation And Price

There will be a hard cap of 15,000,000 USD worth of ZLA tokens to be distributed.
Zilla will issue 60,000,000 ZLA tokens total, of which:
55% of that amount (33,000,000 ZLA) will be traded to public contributors.
40% (24,000,000 ZLA) will go to the founding team.
5% (3,000,000 ZLA) will go to Investors.

Proceeds from the token crowdsale will go towards further development of the ZILLA platform and ongoing operational costs, as follows:

How We Compare

Disclaimer: We do not regard Lykke, Starbase, BitcoinSuisse and ICOAGE to be competitors; rather, we feel that our app is complementary to their services. We focus on a consumer-friendly ICO discovery and shopping app, simplified for the end user, in multiple languages.

Do pm if you need translation for Chinese or Korean. Thanks!

[Zilla-support]

Wow thanks for the quote @kkoh360!

Unfortunately we can't do anything about the header (our logo, which contains our name) until we exit newbie status. We'll get there soon enough.

As for translation opportunities, we have something in mind - do check back at a later date.

Hmmm, this actually looks really nice! You seem to have a very good working product which is more than can be said about 90% of the ICOs out there.

I'll be following this closely and might participate in your ICO.

[godzla]

It's Abasa the founder.
Thanks man! The team appreciates the feedback.
Wow, I've been watching this forum since 2012ish, and this is my first post.

There is no promotion or bounty campaign for this? 
Why are the United States and Singaporeans are not allowed on this in specific details please thank you .

[godzla]

The bounty will be up soon.
We excluded Americans and Singaporeans as per advice from our attorney and compliance officer.
We are based in Singapore and I'm American..so that hurts believe me!

There is a mistake in the "Timeline" chart on page 15 of your white paper. I assume payment gateway partnership should be in Feb 2018 and not Feb 2017.

Can you explain in details how the app is supposed to work as far as delivering the tokens to somebody's wallet is concerned? Will the user be asked to enter his/her public address when signing up? What other personal information will be required? How the payment processing for credit cards will be implemented exactly?

Can you explain the security aspect of the project? How will the app prevent unauthorized use? What kind of user identification will be applied before opening the app and before confirming transaction?

Will this app be coupled with some external exchage in case of purchases in fiat? What would be the fees?

I guess there are more questions than answers in your white paper as of now.

[godzla]

Hi abc73

Thanks for catching the typo.

The process is as follows:

You send ETH from an exchange to your ZILLA in app wallet.
We have the ICO issuer's cryptocurrency addresses so you as the participant don't need to worry about that.

Your name, phone number, address is required when participating (to protect us and the project team legally). When you participate in a project that requires KYC, you register your documentation one time, and for future projects that require it, you authorize it at checkout.

The credit card processing is part of our secret sauce.

Before opening the app and at checkout we require your fingerprint.

We are in early talks with a few exchanges regarding getting in and out of fiat.

There is an additional fee for credit card payments but that is still being hashed out. We expect credit card payments will be for newbies but pro users will participate using crypto.
There are fees for ICO issuers and participants however fees for participants are totally waived if you hodl ZLA tokens. Please see the whitepapers for details regarding this.

We appreciate the questions.

I love It, i think that's one of the rare project that everyone in the community could use right now.

Hopefully people won't stop to the first post without pics, this project deserve good funds

Will you store people's documentation? Or allow ICOs to access that information?

[nick_nick]

Do you accept BTC?

As in, can i buy your tokens with BTC?

When will pre-sale ends?

[forexlegend]

I really like that. But why we need the tokens ? 

[godzla]

We store the information, but the ICO only gets that information if
(a) if the ICO requires KYC,
and if
(b) you aurhorize the ICO to get that information.

In the future you can also list your portfolio of tokens on an exchange with our partners. If the exchange requires KYC, since your documentation is already stored with us, we can pass it directly to the exchange for you.

Make sense?

Yes, thanks a lot for answering my questions.

Won't the fact that the founder works for PaySafe be a problem? Is his company aware that he's starting a business in the payment processing arena?

This won't be a competitor but will be processing payments. I am not aware of any problems but want to make sure there won't be any problems with them in the future.

Actually I see the fact that he works at their company as a potential way to get better payment processing solutions.
