Hi everyone! I would like to both congratulate and thank you for the support during this TGE.
I've copied the Thank You message from the Hdac team below. It's a bit long, but worth the read.
Hdac has successfully completed its TGE on December 22nd. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all contributors in the world.
Both the presale and the TGE have successfully finished with a total fund of $ 258 million (About 15,200 BTC). Compared to the TGE (ICO) of all other cryptocurrencies, Hdac TGE has raised a staggering fund ranking the third highest in the world. Receiving such outstanding support from the global community, the Hdac team will be even more committed to accomplish milestones with integrity and responsibility.
During the TGE, the value of global cryptocurrencies skyrocketed, placing considerable difficulty on the TGE. Many investors reckoned direct trading superior to participating in the TGE, resulting in a downsize of the global TGE market as a whole. Nevertheless, considering that promising cryptocurrency platforms that raised $10-30 million were regarded as successful, we are confident in announcing that Hdac TGE has been successful, which raised a tremendous fund of $20 million.
In fact, the primary goal of Hdac TGE was to promote our blockchain-based IoT platform around the world and establish a touchstone for future IoT infrastructure rather than to secure funds. But, we sincerely apologize to the all TGE participants that during the Hdac TGE, since we have more focused on technical part, pre-marketing and TGE guidance has not been smoothly progressed.
Anyway, we take pride in our presales that sold out to the last token, and we have recently premiered to the global stage by proceeding with the last procedure, TGE, in accordance with international law norms.
From March 2017, the Hdac team has held technical seminars and attended road shows all around the world: Korea, Japan, China, and Thailand in spring and summer; London and Zurich in July; Johannesburg in September; Dubai and Gibraltar in October; and finally Paris, Slovenia, Romania, and KINTEX Seoul in November and December.
Hdac has developed a blockchain-based IoT platform specialized for the IoT environment, a feat which garnered a lot of attention and interest from both the cryptocurrency community and the IT industry. We have also worked with excellent advisors such as Mike Costache (Co-founder & managing partner at KrowdMentor), Eddy Travia (CEO & co-founder of Coinsilium), and Stuart Corby (founder of Authentag and Origin Tracker) to make Hdac known to the world and produce breakthroughs.
The Hdac team has also endeavored to interact with contributors and cryptocurrency communities by the means of various SNS channels: Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Telegram, and Medium. For a month, we received more than 10,000 likes and about 5 million impressions in Facebook, and more than 3.5 million views, 25,000 visitors, and 3,000 followers in Twitter. In addition, more than 10,000 members are currently in the official Hdac messenger chat groups. We are sincerely grateful of people all over the world for their unyielding support of Hdac.
Below are the summary of Hdac crowdsales:
- Presale (1st~ 3rd / March~ July, 2017): $238 million (About 14,000 BTC/ Dec.21 Current value)
- TGE (November 27 ~ December 22, 2017): $20 million (About 1,200 BTC)
· More detailed information on TGE contribution will be made on January 15, 2018
After the TGE participants finish their KYC formalities, Hdac will receive evaluation from multiple exchanges. With the termination of the TGE, the Hdac team will focus on listing and main-net development, so that Hdac can be traded conveniently in Korean and overseas exchanges starting from February or March 2018 (in the first-half of 2018, at the latest).
We also aim to globalize Hdac so that it stands out in the blockchain industry. Hdac will finally realize a practical IoT platform in the near future, not only as a means of transaction, but also as a modality which people can easily access in everyday life. With this goal in mind, the Hdac team will do its best to form partnerships and alliances with related companies.
The upcoming year of 2018 will be a year in which Hdac will leap forward. We would like you to stay tuned to Hdac which will actualize practical application and utilization. We are always grateful for your support of Hdac.
Thank you
The Hdac team
