Token metrics: logical token allocations, acceptable hardcap levels. Tight sale policy, carefully vesting mode for developers in 2 years and bonus token. Declaration of all information is transparent from time (sale, release, pay token after 2 weeks, etc.), quantity.
Minus point
Although the trial product and test results are available, the estimated number of deliverables is incredibly large, and there is no technical explanation available on the website and the whitepaper.
The information about the development team is not wrong, but it seems too much to take advantage of the reputation and image of the company, the old unit to show the company image along with individual faces.
The tests mentioned are mostly internal, open trials focused on testing for cloud storage systems.
