Vertex
This is my entry for the sponsored writing contest organized by @monajam. You can find the contest here
The ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is one of the main financing mechanisms of a nascent cryptocurrency. An ICO is a fundraising platform for the new cryptocurrency where the necessary resources for the project will be obtained, either in fiduciary currency or in already consolidated crypto-assets.
The benefit behind these initial offers is that a whole community of users can fund the projects without needing intermediaries, allowing to maintain the decentralized flavor of the blockchain technology since banks or investors will not be resorted to in the usual way. The cryptocurrency will be owned by all members of the community, not by some bank who responds to particular interests.
Risks associated with investing in ICOs
2017 was the year of cryptocurrencies. That year, due to the rise in the historical price of bitcoin, a large number of investors turned their eyes towards the market of cryptocurrencies as a possible market to inject capital and obtain high profitability.
These investors found a market flooded by ICOs where more than 50% were designed solely and exclusively for fundraising. The vast majority of these initial offers did not have in advance a solid project with consolidated ideas that would allow them to really position themselves in the market.
This makes it clear that verification is the biggest challenge that investors must overcome to determine with high degree of certainty which ICO is ideal for investing and obtaining returns on their investments. In addition to this factor, there are two fundamental aspects to be considered:
- Security. The new cryptocurrencies where you want to invest must have a sufficiently robust security system that guarantees the safety of the investors' funds. A notable case is that of DAO, where investors lost close to $ 150 million due to a failure in their security system. Security is another of the fundamental points to evaluate when investing in an ICO.
- Use of funds. The ICOs were created with the purpose of attracting resources for the nascent projects. If investors are not careful enough, they could be depositing their funds in projects that are linked to some illicit activity such as money laundering, Terrorism or Drug Trafficking. An investment of this kind would cause great problems for investors which is why it is one of the most important points when it comes to investing.

How is the operation of Vertex?
Vertex is the entrance door for any person to the world of cryptocurrencies. The first service offered is the commercialization of established cryptocurrencies. With Vertex we will have a secure path to convert capital into fiduciary currencies into established cryptoactives.
Once familiar with the blockchain system, Vertex gives us access to a platform in which we will be able to buy the cryptocurrencies offered in the ICOs, obtaining better prices than the subsequent quotes in the exchange markets. But the most important thing that we can invest in cryptoactives that have gone through a rigorous verification, which guarantees investors the best conditions to make their investments.

How can we buy in the ICOs of the Vertex platform?
Vertex will offer VTEX tokens, an ERC20 token from Ethereum, which will be distributed the week after the completion of the ITS. The ERC20 tokens are practically compatible with all market portfolios and there is a wide development associated with this technology which gives an additional guarantee to investors about the security of their assets.
These tokens will be used to make the purchase of the other nwely launched tokens which will be examined by Vertex; therefore those who wish to invest in any of the ICO of the platform must own Vertex tokens. This will be the means of payment within the platform to access the purchase of cryptocurrencies in the initial stage.![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbbHmBqZD9xwSXGvQDnqFE79N2zbANLtp2nFzNecMRvB5/image.png)
Vertex Services
Vertex offers us a palette of services that adapt to our needs. The most interesting thing about this platform is that the minimum investment is 50 USD, which allows new customers to make small investments and see first hand the benefits of this platform without risking large sums of money.
Among the additional services offered by Vertex are:

Conclusions
The blockchain technology is no longer restricted only to cryptocurrencies. There are endless applications that are being developed based on this technology and the way devised by the developers of these technologies to obtain financing to raise funds through the ICOs.
But without the right amount of information and the high level of volatility in the markets, a blind investment can result in a great catastrophe. Vertex gives its partners and clients the possibility to make investments on guaranteed cryptographic assets. Additionally, there will be some advantages such as accessing the ICO tokens even after the initial offer has been completed at the best market prices.
This platform will allow the blockchain community to have a reference that allows its clients to be sure that the investments made will obtain the economic benefits advertised in their initial offers. Vertex is the gateway for all investors who are attracted to invest in cryptocurrencies get on the right foot. Vextex is synonymous with experience, solidity and broad knowledge of the market.
