1 Smart Investment Platform ICOTIN Platform enables teams to raise funds for projects via token sales to Investors. ICOTIN provides turnkey solutions for Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) with customizations for various funding strategies. Investors can research projects and safely invest with full transparency.

2 Token Market By December 2017, Cryptocurrency market cap was $300B, growing 1000% since Jan Over 2000 projects used the novel method of ICO fundraising, but only 25% projects reaching funding goals compared to the start of the year. Over 70% projects were on the Ethereum Platform, and a majority of projects were unable to justify the creation of a utility token or coin. Many projects also lost funds to hacks especially phishing and also investors lost capital to many scam/fraudulent projects. VC(BLOCKCHAIN) $1.88 B I C O T O T A L $ 4 B HACKS & LOSS $400 M ICOs also experimented with many strategies to allow more participation and make it easier to invest. The overall crypto market was volatile due to no consensus regarding ICOs in various countries. Challenges ICO strategies are currently evolving and are plagued with issues related to fair participation, valuation, security and FOMO(Fear of Missing Out). After teams run an ICO there is no incentive to improve strategy, stifling innovation. Popular ICOs like Tezos, BAT were sold out in seconds to hours with very few participants. Ethereum ERC20 Token launches facing DDoS attacks to clog network to restrict investor participation. With Bitcoin transactions fees being high and slow transactions also added to investor troubles. ERC20 Tokens caused high gas price transactions, these were to incentivize miners to process investment transactions first, for example unprecedented transaction fees of $6600 for a single transaction in the BAT crowdsale. EY s report suggests roughly $400M has been lost to hacks, fees and other inefficiencies like refunds or lost tokens. Thought leaders have also experimented with new strategies like auctions, reverse dutch auction like GNO (which somewhat failed due to a somewhat irrational investor strategy, as team ended up keeping 95% tokens and creating uncertainty). Ethereum founder, Vitalik, and others have suggested an Interactive Coin Offering Strategy, DAICO (DAO like) and other multi stage funding/rule based offering to control funds based on milestones, restrict unproven teams to get too much capital too soon. Voting on changes for decentral projects is also been challenging.

Even organizations like UNICEF and countries like Estonia have expressed interest in launching tokens. ICOTIN aims to simplify crowdfunding for such initiatives where there may be short and long term project with potentially no dedicated coin is necessary. The low fees of the system design and other features like voting etc, make it possible for projects like Universal Basic Income(UBI) and other socioeconomic projects.
