[choojoy]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 a High Quality Rate to the Jury.Online project.

Jury.Online is a platform that provides services for the resolution of any kind of disputes with the participation of an independent group of expert judges. The main problems of the market, that the project plans to solve are: high fees for professional legal services, excessive duration of trials and non-enforcement of court decisions.

The platform has a flexible smart contract that allows to conduct multilateral transactions, randomize the pool of judges, and also includes a number of approaches that exclude the corruption component of the dispute resolution process. It should be noted that the source codes of the smart contract and protocol have been published on GitHub. The platform will use the escrow function, that allows to transfer funds only if certain conditions are met and if it is confirmed by an independent third party ⎼ escrow agent. However, there is no detailed market overview and competitive advantages (for example, over CrowdJustice) in the whitepaper of the project.

The appeal to traditional courts is too time-consuming and expensive in case of disputed transactions with insignificant funds. The Jury.Online platform, using the built-in arbitration system, is trying to resolve disputes outside the framework of state procedural requirements, without violating the requirements of different countries legislation in the field of contractual relations between the parties. Legal recognition of such decisions on disputes by all subjects of contractual relations is also possible. The composition of the team is quite balanced and includes developers of the platform, specialists in marketing, strategic development and other fields. It should be noted that the team members do not have impressive achievements in the field of jurisprudence and the project needs additional legal authority specialists. There is also a roadmap in the whitepaper of the project, although the marketing plan for international expansion has not been worked out yet.

The High Quality Rate of the Jury.Online means that the project’s goals, market problems and their solutions are clearly defined, and the team members have the necessary potential for the platform implementation.

DigRate experts warn that any investments in crypto assets are high-risk investments.

DigRate Rating Committee issued a Quality Rate Low and B2 investment rating score to Dimensions Network – low development potential, highly speculative investment.

Dimensions Network is a multi-featured cryptocurrency trading platform, with support for national currency deposits and withdrawals. An aggregator allows for more efficient and profitable trading. The platform supports options and futures trading.
The concept and tools that the developers offer are necessary for the further development of the whole crypto-exchange market. Dimensions Network has a demo version of the platform, but it is limited in functionality. The project team also submitted a detailed roadmap and financial plan specifying targets.

The information presented in the whitepaper is insufficient for a full evaluation of the business model of the project. It is also not specified how and when the project developers plan to start the implementation of blockchain technologies technically, because, according to the team, there is currently no technology that can support real-time trading. One of the advantages of the project is a detailed analysis of the competitive environment, although information about the legal structure of the company and the experience of the team members is not fully disclosed, which leaves some doubt as to the intentions of the founders and the team's capabilities to implement their plans.

The project’s advisory board does not include well-known experts in the blockchain field to date, the team has not signed any partnership agreements with any major companies, and the project has not been able to attract major VC investors. Furthermore, the popularity of the project is low, although the team has presented a marketing plan.

Pros and cons of the project, as well as our recommendations, can be found in our report http://digrate.com/

What benefits do you get by providing this service? there are certainly costs for website operations, personnel and time from experts to analyze an ICO.

What benefits do you get by providing this service? there are certainly costs for website operations, personnel and time from experts to analyze an ICO.

You are right. More then 11 people form Canada, Chaina and Russia are in DigRate team and work for salary

High quality projects order ICO audit from us on a fee basis, to be more transparent for big investors

Digital Rating Agency has assigned a Quality Rate High and B1 investment attractiveness score to LWF – considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

The Local World Forwarders (LWF) team plans to create an international platform for fast and cheap cargo delivery. Anyone can become an ecosystem participant, or use or provide logistics services after submitting an application and passing a verification test.

Existing traditional delivery systems have significant shortcomings connected to the centralized management scheme of logistics companies and failure to adapt. LWF, using the DPoS BlockChain, plans to decentralize the global logistics and make deliveries faster and cheaper.

The modules created by LWF are currently operating in an alpha version. The project team presented a detailed roadmap and financial plan, specifying targets for raised funds. All of the above facts leave no doubt as to the serious intentions of the project developers.

The main disadvantages of the project are lack of analysis of the competitive environment, information on legal structure, and support from large investment funds. However, the founders and the members of the LWF team definitely have the necessary experience to implement the stated project goals.

Digital Rating Agency has assigned a Quality Rate High and B1 investment attractiveness score to EXMO – considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

The EXMO project is conducting an ICO with the aim of raising capital for the development of the exchange and launching a new Margin Loan service. This type of service will provide an opportunity for traders with small capital to earn more, at the same time, the company will potentially be able to increase the trading volume and the popularity of the exchange among traders.

Exmo plans to raise $150mn - $300mn during the ICO. 50% of the raised funds will be sent to the margin loan fund of traders. Investors will receive dividends from the exchange's profits. This business model will allow the company to attract a sufficient amount of capital for subsequent loans to traders, while the backers will have the opportunity to receive a monthly revenue in the form of dividends. The project team presented a rather detailed roadmap, as well as market analysis. Competitive advantages of the company are clearly defined. The description of the financial dimension includes the distribution of investments in two scenarios: at the achievement of $150mn and $300mn. The company also presented a forecast of investors' yield for five years and assumes that the value of the token will increase from $1 to $30 by 2022.

The project founders set a very ambitious goal ⎼ to attract $300mn of investments, although at the same time there is no information about partners, VC investments in this project, as well as a number of legal documents. Despite the promising composition of the project team itself, the company failed to attract a sufficient number of advisers with an international name in the field of marketing and strategic development. As of the date of drafting this report, the level of marketing activity is low, the launch of its active phase is scheduled for January 2018.

Also, the economic nature of the project’s token EXO does not allow it to pass the Howey test, and this is the basis for classifying EXO as a security. Despite the above mentioned shortcomings, DigRate experts assume that the intentions of the project team are serious, and the possibilities are sufficient to realize the indicated goals.

Dear friends, we are glad to present our new product – Investment Review of the Coinvest project.

The DigRate has assigned “B1” Quality Rate High to Coinvest project.

Coinvest is an American project that is going to create a decentralized stock market for cryptocurrencies. The team plans to create a platform within which users can invest in cryptocurrency and create different investment portfolios using one token - COIN.

The project founders state that using their platform will significantly reduce the cost of investments, their risk and complexity, that is associated with the conduct of exchanges or other transactions. COIN will be used as the main currency of the platform through which all investments will be made, that will ensure its turnover. However, the project team declares that unsold during the ICO tokens will not be destroyed, but will be credited to reserves. Developers do not disclose for what needs and when these reserves will be used. There is a risk that the token will collapse if a significant portion of the backup tokens are released to the market.

The project team has identified the real problems of the modern cryptocurrency market, and presented a clear business model. The legal structure of the company is transparent, all the main documents are published on official resources of the company. Much attention is paid to the technology safety, but no independent audit of the smart contract was conducted.

The soft cap and hard cap differ 30 times, that indicates the uncertainty about the amount of investment the team needs. Probably for the same reason, the developers did not submit a financial plan and did not indicate the expected income and expenses.

Despite the fact that the team members are competent in their fields, the founders have not yet implemented a successful business in the stock market field. Nevertheless, the project is supported by two very well-known consultants. The project team published the smart contract code, as well as some elements of the product code itself, but there is no prototype that can be tested. The developers claim that the project is supported by large VC investors and cooperates with large partners, but this information is not disclosed and cannot be found in open sources.

More information about the strengths and weaknesses of the project can be found in our review https://digrate.com/uploads/investment_overview/Coinvest_eng.pdf

The DigRate has assigned Quality Rate High to Scorum project.

Scorum, with proper implementation, is likely to find a positive response from the project participants. The Scorum platform will unite those who are not indifferent to the sport in one ecosystem, that is created around the services that are in demand. The team has a clear understanding of the project’s strengths, while the weaknesses, as well as competitive projects, are not sufficiently understood. The Scorum project received a wide media and information coverage and was able to attract the first investment at the pre-sale stage. The open resources of the project highlight the legal aspects of ICO safety, while information on the tech aspects is extremely insignificant. Investors should not expect quick speculative profit, but at the same time, the investor bears quite low risks of devaluing project’s tokens ⎼ Scorum Coin (SCR). Reducing the risk of depreciation of SCR is facilitated by an understandable model of token turnover and protection mechanisms from their excessive supply at crypto exchanges.

More about the strengths and weaknesses of the project in our review.

Can you tell on what grounds are you doing tests on companies that go to the ICO ? I used about 6-ranked websites-calendars which do the analysis ... to this day haven't had failures ...

Digital Rating Agency has assigned a B1 investment attractiveness score to Scorum project. Digrate experts found the project interesting and promising for the stated target audience, but containing considerable risk exposure, high sensitivity to market conditions.

The Scorum project is declared as a blockchain ecosystem of the new format, the main component of which will be an innovative media platform with its domestic economy based on the principles of the free market. Such an approach, in the opinion of the project team, should solve the key problem, that consists in unfair distribution of funds and low technology of the gaming industry services.

The sports industry exists at the expense of fans who do not receive anything in return: the profit of media resources belongs to their owners, and the bitting and fantasy sports are subject to high commission fees. The solution is to create a technological, modern, and financially fair blockchain ecosystem and Scorum should become one.

The set of services that Scorum represents is widely used both by classical sports Internet platforms, and bookmakers. However, the Scorum team sees the implementation of its platform exclusively on the basis of blockchain technology, explaining this by the statement that in any public blockchain economic incentives aimed at rewarding participants who support the protocol and punishing those who are trying to attack it should be laid. The team says that they have no direct competitors either among traditional media or among similar blockchain projects.

Obviously, the team has a clear understanding of the strengths of its project, while the weaknesses, as well as the competitive projects, are not sufficiently analyzed, and there is also no detailed SWOT analysis and information on the methods of competition for the market share of the sports industry.

Pros and cons of the project, as well as our recommendations, can be found in our report https://digrate.com/ico/534
