You are absoultely right - practical use of the idea matters a lot. In my opinion, it is very important to evaluate how platform simplifies the processes before investing. As for upcoming projects, the oneI am waiting the most is Auditchain. They are having it on 14th of June on ExMarkets. In few words, Auditchain is the world's first Decentralized Continuous Audit & Reporting Protocol Ecosystem for financial and operating disclosure assurance for enterprises, non profits and governments. And they are also members of DCARPE alliance with many other companies. As an example, æternity will collaborate with Auditchain and other members to integrate its decentralized data oracles which will enable real time automated compliance with various financial instruments between counterparties
To tell the truth, haven't heard of the project before, seems that the one is from business industry, the one I don't follow regularly, however so far sounds more thatn attractive, so will have a look shortly. And will get ready for the IEO, cause so far sounds rather promising
