Team and Advisors

  • Brendan Playford (CEO), former head of demand generation at Drone Deploy
  • Wyatt Meldman-Floch (CTO), NASA Intern, engineer for Zignal, data engineer at Rally Health
  • Benjamin Jorgensen (COO), General Manager at GiftConnect
  • Altif Brown (Head of Community) - global community manager at POWr and WANELO
  • Zac Russell (Head of Marketing) - RED BULL advertising specialist
  • Advisors with a background from Apple, Youtube, Uber

Roadmap

  • Testnet in Q3 and Mainnet end of the year
  • In my opinion pretty unimaginative and uninspiring. Pretty small roadmap.

Token Metrics

  • Hardcap – $33,250,000

Drawbacks

  • Whitepaper is pretty technical. Does not explore possible commercial uses of the proposed chain. Also: some spelling mistakes.
  • Team pivoted in 2017. At first, they tried to build a decentralized content platform on ETH. In short, something entirely different that is not at all related to building a completely new DAG chain.
  • Tokens of private sale investors were not locked. This is super unprofessional and let to one investor who dropped around 30 million tokens at the day it was listed.
  • They propose a speed of around 4000-5000 Tx/sec. Other projects might become much faster.

Verdict

  • DAG project with interesting team

This is not financial advice. I'm just sharing my opinion. Always do your own research.

Sort:  

it looks like a very reliable one. Project like this is one of the reason why I still believe in crypto, I wouldn't be surprised if one day it rise up like we've never seen before.

Dont be suprised if it will dump someday and besides ive seen only few interested people in this competition https://www.kucoin.com/#/rank/DAG
