The Crypto world is full of uncertainty and risk especially for investors who are interested in investing in cryptocurrecies during the sales of there ICOs.

ICOs is becoming the order of the day in the Crypto world; so many coins are been introduced on a daily basis which can be so confusing to distinguish which is scam/fraudulent and those that might be successful in the future.

Also, there have been days when we missed out on some ICOs we would have loved to invest in but due to some unavoidable reasons, we weren't able to meet up with the token sales deadline.

ABOUT THE VERTEX MARKET: THEIR VISION AND MISSION
In simple terms, the vision of the Vertex market is to make the Crypto world safe and encouraging for investors to trade with confidence and ease. Their mission is to ensure fake and fraudulent ICOs are eradicated to the bearest minimum in the Crypto market.
The vertex market is a decentralized aftermarket platform that helps you carefully scrutinize and critically examine the ICOs you might have an interest to invest in. Any of the ICOs that passes vertex's requirements and is found to be legit, have greater chances of success and is safe for investments would be listed in the vertex platform for you to purchase, even after the coins have been sold out. The vertex aftermarket platform also includes ICOs that have a greater chance of been listed in the exchanges because it's not enough to buy coins that cannot be traded or used at the end of the day.
THE EXCEPTIONAL OFFERS THE VERTEX MARKET HAS IN STORE FOR INVESTORS
The Vertex market is one of it's kind as earlier stated. Its creation is to ensure investors invest in the right ICOs without fear or doubt of it's credibility because the platform takes it upon itself to do the necessary things that investors might not be willing to take out time to do. The vertex market would go all the way to:
• Go through ICOs whitepaper to know what their goals are, vision statement and the reasons behind there creation. From here, they can be able to detect which was created for the right reasons and which is out for selfish interest.
In addition, any ico that might be related to anything gambling which might cause negative consequences like addiction will not be listed on the Vertex platform.
• Check if they ICOs have a roadmap they work with
• An existing Team behind the project Creation
• Comments from prospective investors on their thoughts about the ICOs
All these listed are part of the vetting process the Vertex market will go through so as to ensure they are listing the right ICOs for investors.
Also, some investors might not be aware of an on going ico sale because it was privately done but that will no longer be a problem because investors can check for those ICOs on the vertex platform and buy as much as the want at a good price and much better condition. These opportunities can be enjoyed by owning the vertex tokens.
HOW DOES THIS PLATFORM WORK?
The Vertex market is powered by its own tokens called the vertex tokens. These token will be further used to invest in ICOs that have been tested and trusted by them. It ensure to get/purchase ICOs tokens at a discounted price at the time of the token sales.
However, investors who are interested to make investments in an ico project should have/own Vertex tokens which can be later used to purchase the desired ICOs in the vertex aftermarket.
HOW CAN YOU PURCHASE/EARN THE VERTEX TOKENS?
You can get started by joining the Vertex airdrops and earn 24 VTEX token which is worth $65. You can also take part in their token sale and earn a percentage for every referral you bring on board.
Please note that, the vertex tokens (VTEX) are ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum.

THE VERTEX WALLET
The Vertex platform provides it's secured wallet with a private key and individual account with 2FA. It also has a compatible ERC-20 wallet where users can store their tokens.
THE BENEFIT OF THE VERTEX MARKET TO ICO CREATORS AND ICO INVESTORS
There are so many challenges that goes on in the Crypto world both for they creators of ICOs and investors of ICOs.
Majority of good ICOs with good intentions for their creations have been ignored or do not gain the necessary attention and recognization they deserve due to the bad eggs and unfair generalization from the failure or fraudulent nature of other ICOs in the time past. This inadequate patronage and support at times makes for it's failure; thereby not achieving their desired aims and objectives which could be beneficial to all. But with the creation of Vertex, such ICOs that deserve proper recognition will gain so many opportunities that will assist them achieve whatever aims they have at hand. The advantages such ICOs stand to gain and enjoy includes:
• A free advertisment on their platform after been found worthy by vertex.
• A unique seal of approval showing your ICO can be trusted will be given to you; this means more investors for you because no one would want to loose his money to scam but invest in a tested and trusted ones of which yours could be listed as one of them.
• You can also have an opportunity to consult from Vertex on how to go about a successful ICO.
Apart from just looking out for the good of ICO creators, one other problem faced in the Crypto world is fraud and scams from ICOs which Vertex ensures investors are protected from such by being their watch and analyst of any ico that they are interested in making investments in. I strongly believe that this will not only improve investments but encourage Savings amongst investors.
CONCLUSION
Vertex aftermarket would be a motivator and savior to so many that are desirous to take Cryptocurrecies more seriously by making investments in ICOs and securing their future via investments.
It will also curb the activities of fake ICOs to the bearest minimum. Investors would be encouraged to Invest without fear or doubt of loosing their funds after investments.
Also, ICOs creators with good intentions would be glad to partner with Vertex for better representation in the Crypto world.

Hi @celineaugustinee, excellent and well explained article. However don't you think that such arrangement of the team members pictures makes your article a bit unreadable? :)
This project seems quite interesting to me but I am not sure if ICO industry needs such solution. There are already plenty of platforms (ICO Bench, Track ICO etc.) on which experts review and analyze ICOs. I suppose that if you spend some time to do research you are always able to avoid scams. What do you think?
All the best
Hi @crypto.piotr

As for the arrangements of the team members, it has always been an issue for me because I don't know how to go about it. Like arranging them with their links in this format:
If you have any suggestions on how to go about it, please I'm open to learning.
As for the other platforms you mentioned for ICOs analysis and similar similar to Vertex, I feel having additional platforms isn't a bad idea, it gives room for choice.
Thanks for your reply @celineaugustinee
Format that you provided in this comment is probably the best one in my opinion :) However in your main article team members are visible for me in such way:
Hi...
I'm asking if you could teach me the previous format not this one you posted here...
