CoinDaily is not a conventional ICO, and is neither a protocol nor a DApp. It is a centralized business that links the company’s performance to a token. The platform is still in the early stages of development, so it will be interesting to see whether it can attract users once it is completely functional. The large community base and its good reputation in Asia should help the project grow. The hardcap is fairly small, so we believe the team should not have any issues reaching it. As the majority of the tokens would be locked upon the initial release, it is an ideal candidate for a quick flip. Investments from huge VCs and partnerships with Binance and OKex also makes this project lucrative for investors. However, it must be noted that CoinDaily has not yet produced an MVP, and their main audience is based in China, where regulations on cryptocurrencies are being tightened. This may result in a loss of potential users of the platform.

📈 Near Protocol Preliminary In-Depth Review & Rating is online!
The Near Protocol project is a sharded decentralized computing platform that targets low-end devices (e.g. mobile phones). Its goal is to create an infrastructure that support dApps and aims to bridge the gap to mainstream adoption. Through the enablement of low-end devices to participate in the network as a node, no prior purchasing of high-end computing hardware is needed any longer, and hence the barrier of entry to mining is reduced massively so that many more participants can join the network conveniently. The team claims that this feature is going to allow for a higher potential throughput as well as lower centralization of the system compared to others.

Near Protocol can be seen as a potentially promising project. The product itself is especially interesting due to the fact that it targets a big market segment of low-end devices (such as mobile phones). These low-end devices have not received much attention of prior projects up until now, and thus Near Protocol is seeing an opportunity in the space. Moreover, it aims to tackle the common problems of scalability and decentralization in the space to be capable of creating an environment in which dApps can be run by low-end devices. Near Protocol is an infrastructure project and competitor benchmark valuations are quite high which might indicate an attractive return on investment if the project is seeking for a reasonable fundraising amount. Unfortunately not all key information is given at this stage, and thus it is not able to evaluate the projects’ business model and the token sale details.
In regards of the proposed technology, the project is claiming to provide a better sharding solution than Ziliqa while simultaneously having a ledger that is more decentralized due to mobile devices as network nodes. Up until now unfortunately no code has been publicized nor technical papers published in which all of this has been outlined. The development roadmap has also been constructed very ambitiously if one compares it to other projects in the space. This ambition comes probably from a very talented team of software engineers with extensive career histories at top companies and various achievements. Blockchain development has not been their main focus over the last years, but they have been working already on sharding solutions for MemSQL, which is used by big companies like Goldman Sachs, Uber, Comcast and many others.
In conclusion, the Near Protocol project is definitely one to keep an eye on. As additional information are going to be released in the future, one will be able to evaluate the project better from an investment perspective. It will also be interesting to see if the team can indeed catch up with the ambitious roadmap and if business & marketing matters will not come too short. A team full of developers might be beneficial for the tech but can simultaneously be disadvantageous for the general project since other areas such as business development, marketing and community development are in danger to be neglected.

📈 Blockpit In-Depth Review & Rating is online!
Blockpit aims to address the difficulties experienced by cryptocurrency traders when trying to keep track of their trading activities across a number of different exchanges. The tracking platform also provides a way to comprehensively monitor all sources of cryptocurrency income into one complete record. This includes any income accrued from trading, mining, ICO participation, hardforks, airdrops, and masternode operation. The platform is available as both a web and mobile app, and requires a one-time setup process where read-only access to exchanges and blockchains is given by the user via API and public keys. As a result, past and future transactions are able to be imported in close to real-time and allow all relevant documentation to be kept up to date.
The team assert that complete documentation of all transactions is essential for calculating correct tax liabilities and aim to enable cryptocurrency traders with a simplified way to track their activities in light of the EU’s Anti Money Laundering (AML) Directive.

Blockpit is a simple yet comprehensive project addressing a market niche that is currently under served. The project simplifies the tax reporting process for the entire cryptocurrency community and should surely gain significant adoption over time. In addition, the stance taken by regulators and governments in a number of prominent regions will force a significant number of participants to take their tax records more seriously, and Blockpit is well positioned to serve these individuals. However, despite the obvious need for the solution, and a lack of any direct competition, there are still some areas of concern.
Firstly, it may not have been necessary for the project to incorporate a token, as users could easily pay via fiat currencies, and the team would just have to confirm how records are kept. There is the possibility that records may be kept on centralized servers, which further reduces the need for DLT. In addition, in the short to medium term, the success of the project may entirely depend on the way the market moves. A long term bear run will leave a significant number of participants unconcerned with reporting their activities. This sentiment will of course change during a bull market when community members are more focussed on “cashing out”.
Nonetheless, the project is strong in a number of key areas and the team contains experienced tax professionals such as Gert Weidinger, Gerd Karlhuber and Patric Stadlbauer. As a result, Blockpit looks set to leverage a strong operational network and benefit from the extensive experience of its core team members. In addition to building an intuitive and easy to use platform, Blockpit will thrive as a result of developing a global Tax Alliance of regulators and tax consultants and standardized frameworks for cryptotaxation, (by region) which will allow the platform to be adopted worldwide. They will also benefit from continuing to work alongside exchanges and integrate with predominant tax software such as Austria’s FinanzOnline, which is currently being discussed.
The project’s token economy is another key area, and under normal circumstances it would be an area of concern. However, as the platform is targeting active members of the cryptocurrency community, the staking mechanism will be better received than if it were marketed to general users. Having both individual users and business entities lock up their tokens gives the TAX token instant utility and some price stability as the platform gains tractions. Anyone interested in using the platform will also be required to participate in the crowdsale, or purchase the tokens from exchanges, or via Blockpit’s account menu. As a result, the token sale is best suited for anyone looking to make use of Blockpit’s services as soon as possible.

📈 MetaCert Protocol In-Depth Review & Rating is online!
MetaCert is a security protocol for the Internet that aims to build a query and response protocol on the Blockchain, which stores open-sourced and community verified information on resources such as domain names, IP addresses, social media accounts, bots, applications, crypto wallet addresses, or autonomous system identities. The information stored on the Protocol can be used by anyone to build products or services to address issues such as phishing, malware, brand protection, child safety, and news credibility. By doing so, MetaCert wants to categorize different sources of the internet (so-called “URI’s”) into reputable/non-reputable sources.
Through construction of such a protocol, the project wants to tackle the following problems in the space:
- Users who are not adequately capable of detecting and avoiding security threats due to ineffective threat identification and categorization
- Detected threats that are often incorrectly categorized
- Users and service providers that aren’t properly incentivized to fix the existing detection and categorization issues

MetaCert Protocol is attempting to pivot the existing centralized version onto the Blockchain in order to make it decentralized and create a token economy. The centralized version is successful in the market, which underlines that there is demand for such a product. Moreover, existing customers will be moved onto the new decentralized protocol in order to accelerate growth, which is highly advantageous for the project. So far, there are few competitors in this niche of the cryptosphere, which means the project will be very lucrative if it is successful.
A challenge with bringing a centralized solution onto the Blockchain with a token is to develop a proper sustainable token ecosystem. Unfortunately, we believe that MetaCert did not do well in this regard. The META token as is can be a means of payment or has the utility of being staked in return for rewards. In our opinion, these two functionalities can be easily achieved by using mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Therefore, we do not see the need for an individual token here besides for fundraising purposes. The team itself has a lot of expertise and brings strong advisors to the table. However, the team was unable to deliver their testnet beta in time, so we question how realistic a mainnet release by December 2018 really is.
With regard to the token sale, we find the valuation to be reasonable and praise the team for being fully transparent about prior investment rounds. The fact that the seed round received a discount of 41.67%, and the other tier a 25% discount, is partly made up again by the vesting periods. However, we still dislike these large discounts, even more under consideration of the fact that seed round might have happened at a much higher Bitcoin to Dollar ratio, whereas right now we are rather at the bottom. When considering how poorly the current ICOs are performing, we think there may be other more successful projects on the market.

MetaCert Protocol is attempting to pivot the existing centralized version onto the Blockchain in order to make it decentralized and create a token economy. The centralized version is successful in the market, which underlines that there is demand for such a product. Moreover, existing customers will be moved onto the new decentralized protocol in order to accelerate growth, which is highly advantageous for the project. So far, there are few competitors in this niche of the cryptosphere, which means the project will be very lucrative if it is successful.
A challenge with bringing a centralized solution onto the Blockchain with a token is to develop a proper sustainable token ecosystem. Unfortunately, we believe that MetaCert did not do well in this regard. The META token as is can be a means of payment or has the utility of being staked in return for rewards. In our opinion, these two functionalities can be easily achieved by using mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Therefore, we do not see the need for an individual token here besides for fundraising purposes. The team itself has a lot of expertise and brings strong advisors to the table. However, the team was unable to deliver their testnet beta in time, so we question how realistic a mainnet release by December 2018 really is.
With regard to the token sale, we find the valuation to be reasonable and praise the team for being fully transparent about prior investment rounds. The fact that the seed round received a discount of 41.67%, and the other tier a 25% discount, is partly made up again by the vesting periods. However, we still dislike these large discounts, even more under consideration of the fact that seed round might have happened at a much higher Bitcoin to Dollar ratio, whereas right now we are rather at the bottom. When considering how poorly the current ICOs are performing, we think there may be other more successful projects on the market.

📈 MagnaChain In-Depth Review & Rating is online!
MagnaChain is set to be the next high-performance blockchain with a related integration toolset that enables a new generation of dApps. This type of application can be easily deployed on the network through the use of a friendly programming interface, SDKs, and other tools for streamlined and rapid integration into the dApps including game engines, marketplaces and more.
MagnaChain’s performance is derived from the novel consensus model, the VH-PoS, which attracts miners by taking a virtual hash-rate similar to classical consensus and a staking model with an adjustment in difficulty that enables a fair chance for every participant.
To further develop the networks’ capacity and achieve the desired throughput, MagnaChain implements a sidechain mechanism with concurrent chains that can run independently and synchronize data faster, thus only requiring the dApp sidechain and mainchain to relay data.

MagnaChain proposes an interesting solution that aims to solve the problem that plagues today’s blockchain platforms, but it runs in a heavily competitive landscape. The team will have to deliver an actual working product as soon as possible in order to stay ahead of all their competitors.
With the amount of partnerships and clear dedicated paths on game development and integration on the MagnaChain network, we feel that the team’s vision to become one of the leading platforms for gaming applications is feasible. As innovation has been the hallmark for the gaming industry, MagnaChain can amass a good amount of software developers, especially with the affiliation with popular engines and platforms, thus creating an increasing interest for developers of all kinds to launch their dApps on the platform.
While we do like their initiative to focus on the game industry, and especially on the newly added niche of blockchain games, the main point that can threaten the project’s success is the blockchain part. There aren’t enough blockchain developers on the team and this might bring setbacks in terms of actually delivering their proposed goals.
We look forward to see how their test net and main net rollout, as they received good results so far according to third parties that have audited the code and we want to see how the platform will handle, both in terms of speed and security, and in terms of number of users and developers. For now MagnaChain is still an early-stage project, with a good business development plan, that needs to deliver on the technological part.
