6 Crypto ICO To Watch For In 2018

The development of new electronic coins linked to the blockchain is now the order of the day. Thanks to crowfounding tools, such as those offering ethereum, anyone can create a campaign to raise money to invest in research for their new crypto idea.

This fund-raising method in the last few years has attracted several investors to different ICO projects, but things have changed today.

Until recently, a new-born startup operating in the sector could have generated millions of dollars in a very short time, but investors are resizing and analyzing better where to invest money to generate profits.

Anyone can write a white paper, generate a smart contract, publish the address of their portfolio.

For this reason, investors today are much more careful to better understand who is behind a project, the type of product and the timing of development as well as understanding the goal of a project and how the project will bring value to the community.

For this reason, today I have compiled a list of projects related to the blockchain that could prove interesting for next year, 2018.

Yes, because these projects are all very young and in some cases have yet to finish the initial crowfounding phase.

1. Gladius

A unique project in the blockchain world, thanks to Gladius, in the future, an intelligent decentralized network will be able to completely eliminate the safety and speed projects of the websites that use the technology.

Project participants will be able to offer their hosting machines or computers and bandwidth to contribute to the network and earn tokens in return, which can be changed in cash or used to host your website in a solution to hacker test and very fast.

Public sale has already begun on 1 November 2017 and the official launch is scheduled for August 2018.

Because of the fact that Gladius has a great team behind it, a winning idea and an exhaustive withe paper, I think it can be a product to focus on next year.

1. CanYa

CanYa uses the blockchain to create a platform that combines demand and supply, anyone can offer or request services in the network and be paid for doing work in CanYa Coins.

To encourage the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the future, the companies that operate now should, as the CanYa guys are doing, create prefabricated structures, so that adoption is simpler and more natural (if this service takes hold it will be inevitable that people enter and adopt the currency).

In addition, the company has a very large and complete team for all company needs already today.

The first phase of the ICO started in mid-October and only 60,000,000 coins were released, while those who participate in the presale will receive an additional 400% on their investment.

1. Dether

Dether aims to have an easy and intuitive system with which any person, even without any technical or computer skills, is able to operate with crypto-currencies.

The company offers everyone the opportunity to buy Ethereum in cash, online or by anyone on the street.

With the application provided anyone will be able to make exchanges of coins and goods between private individuals and shops simply using their smartphone.

The application of Dether is powerful, but the simple features make it a very interesting candidate for those looking for new ICOs to add to their portfolio in 2018.

1. EOS

EOS has already collected an exceptional amount of funds from its collection, but their ICO will not be on the official market until June 2018.

The system that EOS offers will allow, through an intelligent structured blockchain, to process transactions much more efficiently than current speed, by processing EOS proprietary processes.

EOS provides an infrastructure where smart contracts can travel up to 100,000 transactions per second, a big step forward compared to bitcoin and ethereum that suffer from a problem of slowness and problems in managing a large number of transactions.

This type of solution is largely B2B, which is a good sign for investors, because it is very difficult to turn out to be a scam, given that large companies are very careful and documented on the partners they choose, especially at the clock level.

1. Privatix

Privatix has created a peer-to-peer product based on Ethereum that saves energy to its users and allows them access to a powerful distributed proxy software.

This tool will be very useful in countries where there is censorship on information and the state of limited use of the Internet exclusively within the state, I speak of countries like Russia and China, where VPNs are prohibited and, where Normal people are not able to visit websites and networks that are hosted outside their country.

The applications of this tool can vary a lot, for example giving the possibility to Chinese guys to watch Netflix, or to be able to enter the Chinese firewall from an external state; the applications are many and very useful from a technical and globalization point of view and could break down the imposed political barriers that citizens certainly do not accept but are forced to suffer.

I see a good investment in 2018 due to the fact that the countries with censorship are very large and there are billions of people living in the censorship, this product could unblock this political yoke and give more freedom to the citizens.

1. Energi Mine

This upcoming ICO is courtesy of a UK-based company, Energi Mine, founded in 2016.

That they have waited more than a year to launch their ICO is encouraging, especially given the complexity and potential of their product.

The company uses artificial intelligence and blockchain to manage the energy use of large customers and encourages energy conservation through its ETK token.

The global energy market is worth 2 trillion dollars, and capturing a part of it could be a lucrative opportunity.

A decentralized platform for energy use will allow colleagues to exchange energy between themselves and reward participants who show energy-efficient behaviors.
Find the Blockchain Killer app

While blockchain is certainly a revolutionary technology, it can no longer be presented as an independent feature for a new startup. Companies need to make smart use of blockchain as a software solution, demonstrate the value of their idea and talk about their team and timeline rather than the future value of their token. In this way, examining ICOs for investments becomes much easier and highly reward those who can separate big concepts from stories or scams.

And you? Have you invested in some ico recently? Do you have any advice to give me to improve this article?

I would be very grateful if you left me your opinion below in the comments!
