With the increasing numbers of ICO, a question of choosing the ones worth to put the penny in, become more and more itchy. Obviously it is not only because of scam cases, but also because teams themselves are often not prepared for some difficulties on their ways. So they key issue is to invent services which can support investors in making the correct choices. Let me introduce one of them: UTRUM.
UTRUM has the ambition to attract block-chain enthusiasts to write objective reviews. How to make it? By providing them a salary. Today, a great number of people involved in the ICO earn money on bounty. UTRUM claims that this disturbs authors to write what they really think about the project. So, they want to change this situation and pay directly to the authors. Sounds attractive?
So let’s start from the beginning.
UTRUM from Latin means “whether”, as well as “or” and this name is taken not by the mistake. It supposed to symbolize the polyphony of website users with their different opinions and interests. On the decentralized platform UTRUM builds, there will be in-depth crypto reviews and analysis. So-called crowd intelligence will be supported by AI analytics power. And what is already pointed out, members will be paid for reviews and analysis.
Market situation:
For today the ICO market describes one word: a chaos. In one of the previous articles, I compared ICO to the gold rush from XIX century. No rules, but a brilliant chance to get rich. In all this mess it’s very easy to make the wrong investment and lost more than earn. This is especially a great risk for investors and novices. But not only, it also influences on crypto developers. In general luck-of-trust atmosphere, amounts they collect are smaller and their work results are expected to be quick and splendid. Also, cryptoanalysts suffer from this situation, with no defined community behind their backs.
Solution:
UTRUM offers their platform as a remedy on actual ICO sicknesses. They believe that IA together with crowd intelligence can give accurate ranks for the projects. Warn in case of the scam, point out strong and weak points of the projects to give a guideline for ongoing and upcoming ICOs.
UTRUM project has a great support from the Agama Wallet and BarterDex Exchange. In the reality where listings can cost millions of dollars, it’s a good sign for this product.
The exact scheme of UTRUM rewards you can see below:
A very similar working scheme used CoinFi – the project who was completely sold out, during the presale couple month ago.
Project roadmap:
According to the project Roadmap, in the 4th quarter of 2018, the alpha version of UTRUM platform ( with Crypto Database, Networking, News Feed, modules) supposed to be released. Couple months later (in beginning of 2019) beta version is expected.
As I understood from UTRUM documentation there is no working prototype for today, nevertheless how the platform gonna looks like you can check in Whitepaper.
Listing is expected for July 2018.
