quarkchain will be big imo. just see what ZIL, the only other sharding project, did upon listing.
If you're looking for team and partners I think you would like FIC Network. They used to do a bounty (not anymore), but their ICO just finished (about 8k ETH reached, very small cap with huge upside imo)
Just to list a few of their partners:
BoostVC (accelerator program)
StartUp Bootcamp
Bialla Venture Partners
Ben Franklin Tech (startup funding)
WilmerHale (law)
NewBlock Capital (hedge fund)
BlockVis
MCCAIN (global ad agency)
i think i spoke to you in another thread about FIC, im more intersted now.. what is the purpose of their token? not all blockchains need tokens and since this is used by institutions mainnly why will they utilize such a coin? where is its value derived?
