The possibility of a high burn rate brings the fact that the merger of DLT, AI, and ML is still highly theoretical and combines features that are still to be proven to work in the real world. Furthermore, the mainnet release is scheduled for Q4 2019 meaning that investors may have to wait until 2020 or beyond for significant developments on the platform. The burn rate may also explain why the team first aimed to raise $30 million for 20% of the total token supply thus giving Fetch.AI a valuation of $150m, and even after reducing the hard cap to $6 million for 6% of the total token supply, Fetch.AI still has a valuation close to $100m. Crowdsale participants will only have access to 17.6% of the tokens, half of the supply being allocated to the tokensale, mining, and future releases, meaning the other half remain in the hands of the foundation, team, and founders.
Depending on your stance these metrics may prove to be off-putting, however, the team have been highly transparent and produced all the necessary information on vesting periods, and the FET token release schedule. Public sale participants will receive their tokens immediately and be free to trade them on Binance which may prove attractive in light of the performance of BitTorrent’s BTT token.
As a result, Fetch.AI may suit braver members of the community who may be attracted by the possibility that FET matches the performance of BTT. More conservative members may choose to keep an eye on project developments of get involved in the project later on once significant milestones have been achieved and FET tokens are less prone to speculative interest.

PRISM | A Proposed Update to Proof of Work (PoW)
https://bit.ly/2Xk7Kji
The PRISM algorithm focuses on the problems that are limiting the capacity on the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin is not the fastest blockchain, but currently the most secure one. The main reason for the scalability limitations is seen in the occurrence of forks which have to be avoided at all costs. Two naive measures that would immediately increase transaction capacity are therefore ruled out, namely bigger blocks and faster block times. This limits the utilization of the underlying network infrastructure for the sake of security to the available capacity minus the security margin to keep the risk of forking small.

✅ ELROND NETWORK REVIEW UPDATE ✅
▶️ Read the full review at the following link: https://bit.ly/2ULHkoL
New Project Rating: 8̶0̶%̶ >> 84%
Updates:
• Hard cap has been reduced from $15.2 million to $5 million
• Iteration of the network is now being written in GO code language, bringing more efficiency and usability to developers
• Team has achieved +3,750 TPS in a single shard
• V1.0 of the testnet has been released
• New partnership with the Distributed System Research Laboratory - expanding the projects' scope into researching areas of applicability of blockchain and the possiblity of Elrond being utilized for decentralized management of demand response program in smart energy grids
• New reoadmap has been released - mainnet is expected in Q2-Q3 along with token swap and the integration of Elrond with a payment provider to create a payment gateway
• Team growth to 18 members (1 more added since last update) and partnership with Sunny Aggarwal is on hold as he is currently busy developing the Tendermit/Cosmos environment
• The team has recently debuted their marketing and community program, with the launch of their community platform where they have a mechanism to reward users based on engagement
Elrond’s team have been making considerable progress since last time we have reviewed them. Their team have self-funded the research and development for more than a year, and now they are preparing to finalize their raise through an upcoming ICO. The core team have been in the cryptocurrency space long-enough to learn the ins and outs (icomarketdata.com creators), and on top of that they have impressive technical expertise. Elrond Network’s main mission is to offer a blockchain that is both decentralized and secure without sacrificing one or the other. We have seen their testnet in action, and thus far they are on the road to success. Moreover, we expect Elrond to gain some massive traction in the following weeks, and if they continue focusing on the community and deliver milestones in time, Elrond can become the next best blockchain.

📈 Matic Network In-Depth Review & Rating is online!
▶️ Read the full review at the following link: https://bit.ly/2KGQQJl
Matic Network is a blockchain agnostic Layer-2 scaling solution that aims to facilitate scalable, secure, and instant blockchain transactions via the use of sidechains and Plasma technology. The project will initially achieve its objectives by using Plasma-based side-chains on top of Ethereum and ensure asset security via a decentralized network of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) validators. The team behind the project aims to overcome the problem of scalability for decentralized applications (dApps) and provide a solution for other associated problems such as slow block confirmations, block size limitations, and computations issues in smart contract based blockchain platforms.
Matic focuses on both developers and end users and intends to provide a Matic wallet, payment APIs and SDKs, and additional solutions that will allow developers to design, launch, and migrate dApps built on platforms such as Ethereum. Matic will also allow cross- chain transfers involving digital currencies such as BTC and ETH (using pegging), thus allowing anyone to exchange these currencies on Matic based Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs). With the team initially focused on the Ethereum Network they plan to integrate with the 0x protocol, and 0x contracts can be deployed on Matic which allows relayers like Radar Relay and Paradex to work more efficiently and users can trade instantly (~1 second) without waiting for block confirmations.
In the future, Matic intends to support other blockchains and develop interoperability features, thus improving scalability across various existing public blockchains.

Matic has a well-regarded core team with a successful track record, and there is a significant amount of positive sentiment attached to the project. The team are able to distinguish themselves as a result of a work history that includes implementations of Plasma MVP, the Dagger Ethereum event notification engine, the Zapier web automation app, the Matic mobile wallet, and the Cryptostaw Burner wallet integration. However, despite already building mobile and web browser tools and applications, away from the founders there is a lack of direct blockchain start-up experience and the team have little experience of working for any of the familiar big names in tech. As a result, questions may be asked of the team’s ability to successfully scale their operation and deal with the issues that will accompany their growth as a company. This is something to keep in mind, and time will tell which direction the project will head.
In addition, while various versions of testnet and mainnet releases are scheduled from Q1 2019 until Q3 2019, the final public mainnet launch is set for Q4 2019, meaning that there’s a possibility that crowdsale participants may have to wait until 2020 in the event of any delays. This wait until mainnet may result in the MTX token value being primarily reliant on pure speculation until the end of 2019 at the earliest, and depending on your objectives, this may turn out to be a positive or negative aspect...

📈 ThunderCore In-Depth Review & Rating is online!
▶️ Read the full review at the following link: https://bit.ly/2GNRyPS
ThunderCore can be described as aiming to provide “Decentralization with the Benefits of Centralization” and this includes features of centralized projects such as the ability to handle large volumes of transactions and data, close to instant confirmation of transactions, and swift interaction with integrated applications. At the same time, the team aim to obtain levels of transparency, fairness, and security that are identified as being crucial for future generations of Internet users, and more prevalent among Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) projects.
The Thunder paradigm is a fully decentralized method for maintaining a public Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchain, with the performance of centralized solutions. The Thunder protocol is a new blockchain that:
∙ achieves both high throughput and fast confirmation times;
∙ can withstand up to a 50% attack (just as standard blockchains);
∙ directly supports EVM-smart contracts and EVM-dApps designed for Ethereum with little or no modifications;
∙ comes with a mathematical proof of its security.
In addition, the Thunder team propose a system which combines any standard blockchain or “slow chain” with an optimistic “fast-path”. The fast path protocol is executed by a committee of stake-holders and coordinated by a central authority called an Accelerator.

ThunderCore is an interesting project that seeks to address well known issues that plague all prevailing blockchains. As a fast, high performance EVM-compatible public blockchain ThunderCore has the ability to enable decentralized applications to scale effectively and develop solutions that can gain mass adoption. It also allows already existing dApps on Ethereum to migrate giving it a significant body of projects to target. However, the project operates in a market segment that is stocked with competition and must go up against projects such as EOS, Zilliqa, and Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions such as Loom Network, OmiseGO, Matic, and Lition. In addition, EVM compatible projects such as GoChain, Proof of Authority Network, and TomoChain are also already in operation.
However, ThunderCore has a solid core team with Chris Wang, Elaine Shi, and Rafael Pass all being standout performers with Chris Wang being instrumental in the development of Playdom which was eventually sold to Disney for $500 million. In addition, ThunderCore has raised a total of $50M in funding over 4 rounds, and has attracted investment from leading funds such as Pantera Capital, FBG Capital, SV Angel, Huobi Capital, Kinetic Capital, Hashed, and Arrington XRP Capital. This bodes well in terms of project development as we can expect ThunderCore to quickly establish itself in the blockchain economy, and partnerships with AnChain.ai, BlockVigil, and Liquidity Network appear to be proof of this.
Furthermore, as ThunderCore 0.3 launched in 2018, the testnet is already live with the mainnet Jupiter full public release scheduled for Q3 of this year. The completion of support for EVM, Truffle, Metamask, Remix, as well as TrustWallet, mean that there are already eight ThunderCore dApps available on the mobile wallet.
Having said that, potential investors may have to consider the financial influence of the funds involved, and take into consideration the terms they may have agreed with the greater cryptocurrency community developing more scepticism with certain names. There is also little information currently available regarding the project’s tokenomics, token vesting schedules, token emission rate, and fund allocation. However, ThunderCore remains an interesting proposition with a clear and direct use case, and the presence of a number of leading blockchain funds highlight that the team are pulling together a project to keep an eye on.

An Introduction to Interoperability
Full Article: https://bit.ly/2WEnv3P
Despite emerging years ago, interoperability remains one of the buzzwords of 2019, and the idea of connecting blockchains and separate DLT projects has continued to gather momentum as the year gets underway. A host of new projects including Ferrum Network, Universal Protocol, and Quant are looking to build bridges that connect the ever expanding blockchain ecosystem and these projects were preceded by longer term operators such as Ark, Bytom, and Komodo. With a growing amount of projects focusing on being interoperable, we take a deeper look at just what it means, and the greater implications for the greater blockchain economy.
We touch upon 20 different projects all aiming to advance the interoperability niche in one way or another.

📈 STP Network In-Depth Review & Rating is online!
▶️ Read the full review at the following link: https://bit.ly/2WVPYSH
STP Network incorporates a Standard Tokenization Protocol that operates as an open-source method for enterprises and individual customers to tokenize a range of assets in a fully compliant manner. The network is primed to remain legally compliant across jurisdictions with assets planned to be transferable across any blockchain platform. All tokens built and/or launched using the STP-Standard will use the protocol’s on-chain Validator to verify compliance with any jurisdictional or issuer-specific requirements.
The platform also makes use of a permissioned ERC-20 token (STPT) on the Ethereum blockchain and STPT can be used to pay token issuance fees, partake in staking on the network, and to act as a network validator. STP Network also operates as a smart contract protocol framework for a variety of digital assets and token offerings, and each issued token must adhere to the Compliance Validator process which includes:
- Issuer Restrictions
- Securities Compliance
- AML Compliance
- Accreditation Validator
- KYC Validator
Standards will be upheld and maintained via an elected validator committee of token holders. This committee will validate operational accuracy, and be comprised of industry thought leaders, advisors, securities lawyers, and regulators across various jurisdictions.

Due to the limited amount of information available, STP Network is quite a tough project to evaluate, however, it does have some stand out positives. These include the fact that the team are operating in a highly lucrative sector which has no problem attracting large amounts of revenue, and the team look set to conduct an IEO which should prove beneficial even if only in the short term. In addition, the presence of blockchain funds such as FBG Capital, NGC, Block VC, Alphabit, AlphaCoin Fund, and GBIC adds legitimacy to the project even though the behaviour of certain funds often leaves something to be desired. The team have already successfully raised $5 million, although, there have been some queries regarding private sale prices and pool allocations, and these issues lead to some of the concerns about the project. Firstly, as STP Network is based in Asia it’s more difficult to validate various aspects of the project and the team have only produced minimalistic outlines on aspects of their team, advisors, and legal/commercial approach.
The lack of information on their legal approach is more of a concern as the STO sector is a legal minefield and it may take years for regulatory clarity to develop as regulators across various jurisdictions take their time to lay down solid frameworks. At the same time, STP Network face strong competition from projects like tZERO and a host of other operators while traditional institutional players could also enter the scene at any time and command a large share of the market. With that said, STP Network does shine over its competitors in the sense that their focus will not only be on tokenizing STOs, but also IEOs, Compliant ICOs, and other formats of asset insurance.

All tokens built and/or launched using the STP-Standard will use the protocol’s on-chain Validator to verify compliance with any jurisdictional or issuer-specific requirements.
The platform also makes use of a permissioned ERC-20 token (STPT) on the Ethereum blockchain and STPT can be used to pay token issuance fees, partake in staking on the network, and to act as a network validator. STP Network also operates as a smart contract protocol framework for a variety of digital assets and token offerings, and each issued token must adhere to the Compliance Validator process which includes:
- Issuer Restrictions
- Securities Compliance
- AML Compliance
- Accreditation Validator
- KYC Validator
Standards will be upheld and maintained via an elected validator committee of token holders. This committee will validate operational accuracy, and be comprised of industry thought leaders, advisors, securities lawyers, and regulators across various jurisdictions.

Due to the limited amount of information available, STP Network is quite a tough project to evaluate, however, it does have some stand out positives. These include the fact that the team are operating in a highly lucrative sector which has no problem attracting large amounts of revenue, and the team look set to conduct an IEO which should prove beneficial even if only in the short term. In addition, the presence of blockchain funds such as FBG Capital, NGC, Block VC, Alphabit, AlphaCoin Fund, and GBIC adds legitimacy to the project even though the behaviour of certain funds often leaves something to be desired. The team have already successfully raised $5 million, although, there have been some queries regarding private sale prices and pool allocations, and these issues lead to some of the concerns about the project. Firstly, as STP Network is based in Asia it’s more difficult to validate various aspects of the project and the team have only produced minimalistic outlines on aspects of their team, advisors, and legal/commercial approach.
The lack of information on their legal approach is more of a concern as the STO sector is a legal minefield and it may take years for regulatory clarity to develop as regulators across various jurisdictions take their time to lay down solid frameworks. At the same time, STP Network face strong competition from projects like tZERO and a host of other operators while traditional institutional players could also enter the scene at any time and command a large share of the market. With that said, STP Network does shine over its competitors in the sense that their focus will not only be on tokenizing STOs, but also IEOs, Compliant ICOs, and other formats of asset insurance.

Despite these issues, STP Network retains a strong core team and will look to leverage its close ties with Block72 who will be an early source of revenue in terms of helping to drum up business, while also paying the salaries of the STP team. Block72 has worked with projects such as Ontology, Basic Attention Token, Hedera Hashgraph, and Algorand, and its staff are experienced in a number of core aspects of running a blockchain business that will prove crucial to STP. The team are aiming to focus on the Asian market in the short term, and while the security token niche may be a slow burner, conducting an IEO may go some way to improving the project’s visibility and transparency with western audiences as well as increasing its attractiveness in the short term.

💰 IEO commences tomorrow on Huobi Prime at 14:00 CEST 💰
Reserve is a global currency and a digital payment system that incorporates a pegged stablecoin aimed at individuals and businesses in countries with high inflation and economic inefficiencies.
The Reserve Protocol interacts with three kinds of tokens:
- The Reserve token (RSV)—a stable cryptocurrency pegged to the US Dollar.
- The Reserve Rights token (RSR)—a cryptocurrency that fluctuates in value, and is also used to facilitate the stability of the Reserve token. RSR holders are also able to vote on governance proposals.
- Collateral tokens—these are assets held in smart contracts and back the value of the Reserve token and the protocol is designed to hold collateral tokens worth at least 100% of the value of all Reserve tokens.
The Reserve Protocol will start off in a centralized manner, and each protocol component will be migrated on-chain with the founding team relinquishing control over time. In addition, the Reserve token will have an initial target value of US $1.00, but in the long term will move away from the US dollar peg and have its value linked to a basket of on-chain and off-chain collateral assets. However, the team are also creating an additional currency pegged to the US Dollar (Reserve Dollar/RSD) that will remain this way.

As blockchain technology and its associated economy mature, it becomes more difficult for projects to differentiate themselves, and Reserve is throwing its hat into a ring full of competing stablecoins. Despite the challenges involved with establishing a global, digital currency, Reserve is strong in various areas. For example, the team contains numerous standout performers with experience of working at leading corporations such as Google, Amazon, Tesla, and Alibaba, and Nevin Freeman has an impressive entrepreneurial background.
In addition, the team appear to be passionate about the project, and Paul Atkins, a former SEC Commissioner helps to make up an influential advisory board. The team have secured significant backing from Coinbase and well known investors such as Peter Thiel and Sam Altman, and the decision to conduct an IEO on Huobi aids in transparency and should help to attract funds in the short term. Furthermore, Reserve is operating in the payments sector which still has plenty of room to grow and the emerging markets niche has the potential to become extremely lucrative.
However, the team are not choosing the obvious route to immediate liquidity, namely exchange integration, and are aiming to develop a significant global body of merchants who commit to accepting payments in Reserve tokens. This leads to a number of challenges and the hard cap of $10m is smaller than the amounts raised by other competing projects with significant amounts needed to be allocated to marketing and business development in order to secure real adoption and grow an international user base.
In addition, a larger hardcap would result in more being allocated to collateralizing the Reserve Protocol and give the project a longer runway. With that said, the project is highly speculative in nature, and the team will be learning as they move along, and the complex nature of the Reserve Protocol’s mechanisms alongside trying to operate in economically inefficient countries will throw up various unforeseen circumstances which will need to be overcome.
