QuadrantProtocol - Decentralized Data Marketplace
![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://whalereports.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/quad.png)
Quadrant Protocol ICO My TL;DR: Decentralized data marketplace incentivizing entities to sell their data, provides input for AI training and complex data products.
What I like:
- Good idea, decentralized data marketplaces will be the norm
- They have some good partnerships and data sources
- PoA for transactions and PoW for settlement is a pretty neat idea to enhance performance while retaining a proper anchor
- $20mn for 40% of tokens is on the average side
- Endorsed by Bluzelle, Santiment AI COO advisor

What I dislike:
- Team not very impressive
- Blockchain spin-off of DataStreamX, which only raised $818k in funding
- Very strong competition - a lot of projects in this space;
Conclusion
For yet another data marketplace project, the team, partnerships, or existing product need to be outstanding. None of which are for QuadrantProtocol. I will avoid this ICO. https://www.quadrantprotocol.com/
