I would say this is the best time for dev teams to continue development of any project since the buzz of market is very low, no distraction, i.e if the funds are available to support it, however, the team are in best position to know the right time to continue with technical and fundamental implementations, that is the reason why they do what they do, they must already have a plan.
If there are funds for development, there is no market influence. In this case, the project does not need ICO. But if the funds are insufficient, then {the buzz of market is very low, no distraction} obviously does not contribute to the progress of the project.Are they self funding the project or there are angel investors who will provide the funds to keep the development afloat? Or the token already listed somewhere, either way, the team will need to generate funds some how for development, the bolded above is just making reference to the current market condition, but that's just my opinion
Have they publicly spoken about the funding situation or how do you know that they are lacking funds for future development?
Optherium has finished a whitelist stage of token sale and it has funds for development. Now the team of Optherium actively develops the project. We already have a working multicurrency wallet https://vivuspay.io/ Soon we will annonce more news about our future development, stay tuned for our news and visit our telegram chat https://t.me/optherium_club
And where does your idea of synergy of blockchain solutions materialize? Are you going to do things like cross-chain transactions?
Optherium is a whole ecosystem that consists of multicurrency wallet, dApps, Branded pre-paid Cards and IBAN for bank transactions, data storage. All this ecosystem works on multi decentalize blockchain. The ecosystem is multidecentalize, modular and multisecure. For more information you can visit the site of Optherium https://optherium.io/
By multideqentralized, do you rather mean distributed? Are those features already in use and how does one obtain an IBAN? Is it all based on KYC?
