this platform is already live and they are running bounties on that it seems it will go live immediately right after the finish of ICO. I think this crowdsale will get finished so quickly because the this project is coming with fully functional platform.
why write this brad here. ICO Bancor / Protocol for Smart-tokens ,was one of the best in 2017. read the story they managed to collect 150 million in a very short time. now Bancor is gaining weight and accumulates coins to your Bancor platform, in 2018 it can become the most liquid coin in ERC20.
Yes, there certainly was a need for Bancor which is why the Bancor Network has grown to support over a hundred different coins. Bancor solves the double coincidence of wants problem and creates a market maker with BNT.
