The Token is ultimately listed on the stock exchange, I think so. Also successful ICOs usually have a good audience.

I agree most successful ICOs have a large number investors, the exception of course is the super successful ones like BAT which sold out in 30 seconds from huge investors.

Do you have any idea of an easy way to tell how many people invested in an ICO? The only way I know of is counting the initial transfers of the tokens on the blockchain :/

The success of the project is determined by the team and the idea. Now a lot of similar projects that duplicate each other. As a result, after the ICO, the price of their tokens falls twice on the exchange.
actually although the concept offered is the same, as long as the team can mix with something new of course it can still make the token of the project has a competitive edge

Ya I agree with you, tokens can be successful with similar concepts. Its like saying just because Mcdonalds already exists, burger king won't be successful.

In my opinion, a good ICO project can bring me the return of X5.
Then the ICO project that allows me to make money is a good project. Grin

So if you have two projects, which would you consider more successful??

Project  A).
ICO price, = $1.00
Total raised = $1million
Exchange listed and tokens trade at ~$5 for 6 months
Then the project fails and dies, tokens become worthless

Project B)
ICO price = $1.00
Total raised = $1million
Exchange listed and tokens trade at ~$1 forever,
The project launches and becomes extremely well adopted.

What do you think is a better definition of success in an ICO? The amount it raises or whether the token is ultimately listed on an exchange?

This paper argues eventual trading status is more important. 

I think it defines the success of ICO due to the progress and also it will be listed in the exchange. Not that one also but the number of investors matter most because they will be the one who will pay for it. The platform of the project will eventually a way for the investors to choose what is good of the project. 


Tannerchum, I totally agree with you. The amount of investors is probably the single best determinant for long-term success of a project. If there are 100,000 investors each willing to give $10 for access to the eventual product, I think its for more likely to succeed than 10 investors who each invested $100,000 only to later try to sell their tokens at a higher price.

It would be great to see more projects implement a "maximum" amount per investor.
