What is Quantstamp?
Quantstamp is a security auditing protocol for securing smart contracts. The team is currently focused on securing the Ethereum’s application layer. It offers a unique suite of features to audit smart contracts by launching:

• Decentralized network that uses validator nodes to achieve consensus and verify transactions;
• Security library for Solidity;
• Application Programming Interface (“API”) for Ethereum; and
• Adaptable, modular, platform-agnostic design.

In the future, Quantstamp aims to expand their security library to support programming languages other than Solidity, and Quantstamp’s API may be implemented for other platforms.

Quantstamp’s Protocol
This protocol is used to perform a security audit on all the smart contracts on the Ethereum network. It consists of two key components:
• Automated and upgradeable software verification system; and
• Automated Bounty Payout system.


Automated and upgradeable software verification system.
The core utility of this system is to enable automated audits without any manual intervention. It uses a security audit engine and security library to run the security and vulnerability checks on the smart contract. Both the security audit engine and security library work in tandem to deliver a systematic check on the smart contract. Within the security audit engine, there are several software verification and automated reasoning tools to indicate the types of checks to perform and codes to verify. These tools are built upon well-founded academic studies.


Automated Bounty Payout System
The automated bounty payout system rewards human participants for detecting errors in smart contracts. While the main objective of Quantstamp is to achieve full automation in the near future, this is currently not possible. Thus, the purpose of this system is to bridge the gap while moving towards full automation. This incentive is to attract experts such as white or black hackers to report vulnerabilities in the smart contract. It automatically rewards the user once a pre-defined set of parameters is fulfilled.


Prisoner’s Dilemma
The key tenet of the automated bounty payout system can be easily understood by examining the prisoner’s dilemma. Prisoner’s dilemma is a widely used game in the game theory to explain a paradox involving decision analysis. An example in relation to the Quantstamp’s bounty payout system can be illustrated as such:
For example, Project A decides to offer a bounty of US$100,000 over a 14 day timeframe for any third party to report bugs on its smart contract. Hacker A discovers a critical bug on the 2nd day that he could potentially exploit for an estimated gain of US$1,000,000. Now, he has the option to exploit the bug after the 14 day timeframe or report the bug immediately. If Hacker A chose the former, he runs the risk of having other hackers discovering and reporting the bug before the 14 day timeframe thereby negating any possible gains. As such, it is more likely than not that Hacker A will report the bug to get the bounty of US$100,000.


Why is Quantstamp
Worth Investing?
The key target market for Quantstamp is the Ethereum platform because majority of the ICOs are built on it. Moreover, Year 2018 is anticipated to be a huge year for Ethereum, with scaling and energy issues to be addressed through the implementation of Casper and Plasma. As Ethereum becomes more
successful, the number of new smart contracts increase as well. Currently, there are no defined standards in the cryptocurrency space when it comes to security. As such, new or existing smart contracts may be fraught with hidden vulnerabilities that could result in huge monetary losses and slow mainstream adoption. Also,
with the recent spate of security breaches, the demand for code audits will only increase in the coming months. Since Quantstamp positions itself as an automated audit platform, it is in a favourable position to meet the growing audit demand and set the appropriate security benchmark for existing and future smart contracts. Audit demand will similarly increase the need for Quantstamp’s tokens as the bounty and audit requests can only be paid in Quantstamp’s tokens.


Community
Quantstamp has garnered the support of over 18,000 members in its telegram channel till date, making it one of the biggest and fastest growing communities in the cryptocurrency space. Additionally, the selection of pre-sale participants through their unique Proof-of-Caring screening process has enabled many prominent community leaders to become stakeholders. This project has also established a strong presence in the Internet, which primarily stems from the powerful word of mouth of the vested investors.


Efficiency
Quantstamp announced 2 major exchange listings 2 days after their ICO was concluded - Huobi (popular Chinese exchange where cryptocurrencies can be bought in RMB) and Binance. In comparison, another project that has garnered a lot of attention, has still yet to complete their token distribution more than 2 months into their ICO. In this fast-moving space, many projects have been sidelined by either slow development or lack of exchange listings and media exposure. It appears that Quantstamp’s team is heading in the right direction by delivering results right at the onset of the project.


First Mover Advantage
As previously discussed, security, or the lack of it, is a major concern for Ethereum’s advancement as a platform. The identification of whether the coding error lies in the user, the specific smart contract or on Ethereum’s coding is secondary. The primary focus is to have a means to perform checks to ensure that smart contract’s vulnerabilities are addressed in a prompt manner. Being the only cryptocurrency that has a functional product and proof of concept to audit smart contracts, Quantstamp could potentially emerge as the market leader for securing smart contracts.


Team
The Quantstamp team is a star studded cast of engineers, developers and programmers, with most of them holding academic qualifications in the field of computing and engineering. Notably, there are 3 PhD holders on the team, with an additional 2 highly experienced security engineers coming on board. Moreover, the advisory board is filled with high calibre industry specialists such as Evan Cheng who is the director of engineering at Facebook, David Park who is the product manager of Facebook, Dr. Vijay Ganesh who is a computer engineering professor at the University of Waterloo and Chris Miess who is the former Chief Financial Officer of TenX.


Key Concerns
Ethereum
The demand of Quantstamp is strongly co-related to the progress of Ethereum since the project has yet to become a language and code agnostic platform. If things were to go south for Ethereum, it would surely affect the demand of Quantstamp. Furthermore, as the development of blockchain technology is still at its infancy, Ethereum could be replaced by newer generation of blockchain concepts.


Nature of audit
There is always a gap between the public perception of audit and the nature of audit. The public expects audit to be a guarantee that the audited smart contract remains free of all vulnerabilities while the nature of audit cannot or will not uphold that level of standards. As such, any serious breaches that occur after a smart contract is being audited by Quantstamp may result in severe reputational damage.


Rate of development
As Quantstamp is a newly launched ICO, most of the development will only be completed in 2018. It is highly likely for future entrants to enter the market and compete for market share from now till then. Furthermore, it remains to be seen if the team can fulfil the product development’s deadlines stipulated in the website and whitepaper.


Competitors
Quantstamp faces competition from traditional auditing firms such as Zeppelin Solutions (“Zeppelin”) and Hosho.IO. In particular, Zeppelin has conducted multiple audits for various projects running on the Ethereum platform and stands as the greatest challenge in terms of competition. While Quantstamp is gathering positive momentum with the help of its community, it has to deliver audit results with speed as well as efficiency before they can claim market dominance as the premier smart contract auditing firm.


Conclusion
Security is one of the priority concerns that is holding Ethereum back from mainstream adoption. Unlike centralized systems, where rollbacks and compensations can be exercised when coding errors occur, there are no such functions in a decentralized blockchain, which is purposefully intended to be tamper-proof with no single point of failure or control. The advent of security audit is an opportune time for creators of smart contracts to improve their level of security. Zeppelin is currently leading in this security race although Quantstamp has the first mover advantage in launching its own cryptocurrency.

However, I believe that Quantstamp’s unique proposition of automating the audit allows it to scale efficiently and effectively within a short span of time. Together with its strong leadership and community, Quantstamp is well poised to be the market leader in this field. Having said that, Quantstamp has to navigate quickly in this territory, and at the same time ensure that the audits are conducted to a high standard where any vulnerabilities, significant or not, are clearly documented in the audit reports to avoid possible repercussions.

I are extremely bullish about Quantstamp’s medium to long term prospects as this project solves a critical problem using an innovative approach. It has the potential to become one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies. Thus, I believe that Quantstamp’s current market valuation of less than US$100 million is undervalued with excellent upside potential.

OVERVIEW
Waves is one of the most innovative cryptocurrency platforms ever to be launched. A great deal of waves potential has yet to be realized but that should not be seen as a disqualification – in fact it should be seen as quite the opposite. The fact of the matter is that waves is a very strong platform undergoing massive development with a wide range of functionality. Waves is attempting to provide a solution to one of the most significant issues preventing mainstream cryptocurrency adoption: transferring fiat into crypto. The waves team is not limiting themselves to one single function though. In fact, the scope of the waves platform is much larger. From their decentralized exchange to simplified smart contracts that allow for easy token creation, the waves platform has a lot to offer. I will examine the most innovative features of waves, how they are all interconnected and how each possess the potential to be a massive market of its own. Most importantly, how these features complement one another and add tremendous value to the platform as a whole.

FEATURES OF WAVES
The most powerful feature of waves are the “fiat gateways” – which are methods of instantaneous cryptocurrency purchasing through the use of traditional fiat currency. Consider that one of the main objections people typically have towards investing in cryptocurrency is that the process is too complicated and overly challenging. Today it takes between 7-9 days to transfer money into an exchange and can run up quite a tab in commission and fees. The other option is to deposit cash directly via Bitcoin ATM’s which charge shockingly high fees ranging from 7-18%. Waves is trying to cut out that week-long wait and get rid of those unnecessary fees. For this reason, waves could prove to be one of the keys towards mainstream cryptocurrency adoption. Fiat gateways provide easy onramps into crypto. The ability to instantly transfer a U.S. dollar for the equivalent value of a digital currency is huge. People would take crypto much more seriously if they knew investing was as simple as transferring money from one account to another. Waves could be on the precipice of a major industry upset. If waves is able to lock up a few key partnerships it would allow everyday investors access to the crypto markets like never before.

The incredible thing about waves is that they didn’t stop there. Being the world’s first official crypto onramp was simply not enough for this brilliant, highly ambitious team. There are several other features of the platform that are also very innovative and important. The Waves DEX (decentralized exchange) perfectly complements the fiat gateways as the perfect onramp to cryptocurrency investing. The decentralized exchange boasts true peer-to-peer trading with virtually no transaction fees. The waves team is constantly working on this feature of the platform, adding new currencies to the DEX every other day. The trading volumes are currently very low and increasing liquidity is their primary concern. The decentralized exchange space is very hot in crypto right now and there is a lot of competition. However, all other decentralized exchanges are struggling to increase liquidity as well. Waves has a couple of major advantages, after all it was the first project to conceive of the decentralized exchange in the first place. They have by far the most man hours spent in development. They actively seek out partnerships to increase liquidity through their fiat gateways and other decentralized exchanges have little community support relative to waves - which is essential to building and maintaining satisfactory trading volumes.

Waves also enables decentralized application development much like Ethereum. However, waves has a very different approach. Waves uses simplified smart contracts that enable easy token creation. Tokens built on the waves platform are essentially plug-ins, which means no coding knowledge is required to create a waves token. The major benefit of creating a token on the waves platform is that it provides existing businesses looking to leverage blockchain technology an easy, cost-effective solution to tokenizing their business model. As the CEO and founder of waves puts it, “One of the core Waves missions is to enable any business with development prospects, regardless of its size and geographical location, to run the ICO and raise funds for growth and development. We are deeply convinced that in the new digital economy, the ICO can compete with other tools for raising investment both in the high-tech industry and in the real sector and industry.” MobileGo is a great example of a waves-based token success story. It is the most successful token to have been built on the waves platform to date. MobileGo is a mobile gaming platform that wanted to leverage blockchain technology to bring efficiency into their sector and create a crypto-centric gaming community. They raised over $50M in their ICO. Waves provided MobileGo with the tools to raise funds and complete development of their platform. Through the use of a new piece of technology called “BlockSwap,” MobileGo was able to transition seamlessly between waves and Ethereum, thereby allowing them to take advantage of waves’ easy token creation/administration while also leveraging Ethereum smart contracts to enable decentralized gaming tournaments. It is a great example of how the waves platform is providing highly effective solutions for businesses looking to transition into the crypto space.

There are many other examples of interesting projects undergoing development on the waves platform. The idea that waves can provide the enterprise solution for tokenization is quickly becoming a reality.

BACKGROUND ON WAVES
After taking a long look at the various features of waves, it is no wonder that it is one of the most highly regarded projects in crypto. Still sitting at around only half-a-billion-dollars, it is quite small in relation to what it could be. Waves has an incredible team, perhaps even one of the best in crypto. They are constantly adding all-stars to their staff with strong backgrounds in their respective fields and some level of experience in crypto. If cryptocurrency is ever going to become mainstream, fiat gateways are going to be essential towards making that happen and nobody on the planet is more dedicated to seeing it through than Sasha Ivanov, the CEO and founder of Waves. His experience in crypto began in 2013 upon the launch of coinomat.com which was an instant-purchase cryptocurrency exchange that set out to cut transaction fees below that of the major exchanges. Coinomat was the first blockchain-based instant cryptocurrency exchange. However, the project ultimately lost out against its major competitor, ShapeShift. Sasha was not discouraged though, he saw it as an opportunity. ShapeShift allowed instant purchasing of cryptocurrency through the means of credit/debit cards, which is still very costly. Sasha wanted to go a step further and enable instant, direct fiat deposits. Waves was born out of an unwavering desire to let the masses have access to cryptocurrency in the way it was originally intended – open to all and without the need for costly middlemen. In addition, he took it as an opportunity to develop something truly special, an enterprise solution to tokenization. The idea was to develop a token creation process so simple and easy that any business could issue shares and raise funds, aiming to break down all barriers to entry that have existed in the business world since the beginning of time.

BRILLIANCE OF WAVES
With waves, literally anyone can create a token and hold an ICO. If there is a market for it, no matter how niche, you can start a business. Take for example Kolionovo, a project which launched a (surprisingly) successful token sale through waves, raising over $500,000 for its small agricultural business developing real production of agricultural goods and services. Literally anything can be tokenized with waves and it is so simple and easy that there is no reason not to start your own business. Compatible with Ethereum incase more advanced development is necessary, creating a token on waves is the perfect blockchain solution for new businesses in all areas of technology (both high and low).

However, the true brilliance of waves is not that they have one defining feature, but three. All of which work perfectly together to create one flawless master platform. With their decentralized exchange, it makes transferring cryptocurrency extremely easy while also enabling people to invest in new projects in a quick and simple manner. Finally, because of their fiat gateways, waves becomes the all-in-one tool to invest in cryptocurrencies big and small from beginning to end. Enabling people to instantly purchase cryptocurrency through fiat and providing them with a decentralized exchange and crowdfunding platforms, there is no reason to use anything else.

Analysis

Core Development: Very Strong. (8.5/10)
The decentralized exchange is still only semi-decentralized, there is still a need for some form of centralization at this time. They are working to fully decentralize trading but blockchain transactions are not high enough yet. The waves team has done a great job so far but they are still working to put all trading data on the blockchain which requires synchronizing all the nodes. The “middle ground” the exchange currently operates on is not bad at all though. It still provides the essential function of a decentralized exchange – you are in control of your own funds, there is no middleman controlling it.
Tokenomica has come along great. Simple token creation and easy administration is proving to be a very useful asset for startups and existing businesses alike. There has been a lot of development on top of the waves platform. Simplified smart contracts and token-creation related features of the waves platform are already very well-developed. This feature of the platform is fully functional and prepared to scale.
Fiat gateways are currently functional, there is still some development ongoing with the waves “stable coin” which pegs fiat to the blockchain.

Business Development: Strong. (7/10)
Token creation is going very well on the waves platform, there have been many notable developments in this sector. The most recent news about “whoppercoin” shows the waves teams ability to land key partnerships is certainly coming along. Recent initiatives have begun to usher as much third-party development as possible on the waves platform. The initiative is in early phases but it looks promising in its current state - there has been a noticeable uptick in development since the initiative began.
Fiat gateways are lacking partnerships at the moment. This is a tough space to enter for any cryptocurrency. Getting banks and other financial institutions to implement these systems takes time. They are very risk averse people and cryptocurrency is their antithesis. However, Ripple was ultimately able to land key partnerships with the same forms of institutions necessary to increase liquidity for the waves fiat gateways. The business end of development for this segment of waves is by far the most challenging but is also in very early phases. The team is one of the most capable in crypto and are working diligently to add as many new partnerships as possible.

Use Cases: Medium. (6.5/10)
The waves platform as a whole currently sees around 30,000 - 40,000 transactions per day, which is fairly low. However, that’s up from 1,000 per day less than four months ago. The usage has been rising steadily as a result of increased demand for the token due to a recent uptick in new projects being developed on the waves platform.
The waves platform has a great deal of room to scale. The use cases are actually fairly low at this very moment. However, the serious use cases come as more fiat gateways are deployed thereby increasing liquidity on the decentralized exchange.

Risk: Medium. (5/10)
Waves has a great team and the development is coming along well. They have proven there is a need for easy token creation and administration. That feature of the platform provides a level of reliability that offsets a lot of the risk.
The risk is rather low in relation to the potential. However, it won’t be easy to add fiat gateways - as stated previously in the “business development” section of the analysis. But if they can do it, the waves DEX will become highly liquid and the waves platform will become a part of the mainstream discussion.
There is certainly a lot of upside for waves. It could become the official on/offramp for crypto which would make it as pivotal to the industry as Bitcoin or Ethereum. However, there are ultimately a lot of variables in the equation to waves success with many challenges and obstacles to overcome first.


Conclusion

When Ethereum first launched in 2015, the potential was always there, it just took time for people to realize it. Waves was launched one year later and the potential is certainly there, the question is how long it will take for the market to catch up. Waves has set themselves up to be one of the next major blockchain disruptors. With constant development and new projects announced every week, it is one of the most promising projects in crypto. The network only sees around 30,000-40,000 transactions per day and still struggles with low liquidity on their decentralized exchange. In addition to which, only a handful of fiat gateways have been launched to date. Waves still has a very long way to go, but if you believe in the project and the team’s ability to realize their promises, it could definitly prove to be a great investment. The waves platform is worth a serious look.

Below is a list of 10 innovative blockchain projects and platforms, all supported by strong teams, disruptive ideals and infrastructures, and clear and transparent roadmaps, that should be on your radar this in 2018.


1. NAVCoin (NAV)
NAV Project Breakdown
Supporting SegWit functionality, and hailed as the world’s first fully-autonomous cryptocurrency, NavCoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency, based off Bitcoin, enabling faster (30 second), low-cost (.0001 NAV), fully-anonymous transactions.

NavCoin builds on two core deficiencies in traditional blockchains:
– a public transactional link between sender and receiver, exposing user privacy to malicious third-parties, and
– data vulnerability, requiring databases to “roll back” to a recent backup point after corruption, resulting in missing transactions and value.
The answer? A dual blockchain.
NavCoin utilizes NavTech, a combination of the Bitcoin blockchain, and a NAV ‘Subchain’, severing any traceable link between sender and receiver and generating fully anonymized transactions, which don’t rely on any centralized service or database. Thanks to NAV, users are given “a democratic choice to make their financial transactions private.”

Why You Should Watch NAV
In 2017, NAV grew its community to over 50,000 members, spread across various community channels, and rolled out an impressive range of projects, including a mobile and desktop wallet (NavPay), novel obfuscation encryption layers (NavTech 1.2), an energy-efficient staking solution for NavCoin rewards (NavPi), and increased stability and integration capabilities (NavCoin Core 4.0).

Now with 6 full-time staff members, NAV’s 2018’s roadmap is just as aggressive as 2017’s. They are set to:

– Launch Valence, a platform for developers to build blockchain applications.
– Implement lightning network transactions allowing cross-chain atomic swaps.
– Support instant exchange between NAV and other currencies (NavChange).
– Establish a payment gateway for users to spend NAV at any business accepting currencies supported by NavChange.
– Allow cold staking.


2. DeepBrain Chain (DBC)
DBC Project Breakdown
From the creators of the first Chinese voice assistant, Smart 360, and built on the NEO blockchain, DeepBrain Chain is a decentralized neural network distributing artificial intelligence (AI) computational power, costs, and security across world-wide mining nodes. DBC’s decentralized network leverages private, flexible, low-cost, and secure AI computing to meet world-wide enterprise demand, all paid for in GAS.

Additionally, DeepBrain Chain operates as a secure data trading platform, where data ownership and usage rights are explicitly defined and separated, creating a harmonious AI market, protecting both buyer and seller from illegal resale and data dissemination.

Why You Should Watch DBC
AI is undeniably changing the way we conduct, and will conduct our daily lives. In 2016 alone, tech giants Google and Baidu spent between $20 to $30 billion on AI, and from 2012 to 2016, the AI market saw a formidable increase in over 5,000 AI startups across the world.
The AI market has turned into a race as players try to capture a share what’s predicted to be a trillion dollar industry by 2035. DeepBrain Chain is here to connect all major, and minor, competitors – starting with the development of their TestNet in Q1 2018.
DBC is backed by a strong team, including CEO and 2015 winner of Shanghai’s computer industry ‘Innovative Figures’ award, Feng He. They also have a robust list of clients, including Siemens, Samsung, and Microsoft. Also, in 2017, DBC was awarded first prize in the Harbin Institute of Technology’s “man-machine dialogue evaluation”, beating more than 30 Chinese AI teams.


3. Komodo (KMD)
KMD Project Breakdown
“Simple, yet powerful”, the Komodo Platform is a blockchain ecosystem, comprised of four integral functions:

– Delayed Proof-of-Work (dPoS), a PoW chain with backups written to the Bitcoin blockchain.
– BarterDex, an atomic-swap decentralized exchange.
– Jumblr, cryptocurrency anonymization technology.
– Decentralized ICOs (dICOs), an ICO incubation and blockchain assistance solution.

Specifically, Komodo empowers two types of users: average crypto investors and blockchain entrepreneurs through a secure, low-cost, scalable blockchain solutions platform.
Aside from decentralized token exchange, issuance, and distribution, Komodo offers the ‘Agama Wallet’, an encrypted, offline, multi-currency wallet for users to to aggregate all cryptocurrency funds into a single app.

Why You Should Watch KMD
At present, the crypto ecosystem relies heavily on third-party, centralized exchanges, such as Binance, Bittrex, and Poloniex to exchange coins, resulting in astronomical fees for users and heightened exposure to malicious attacks.
Barely one year old, Komodo is the first platform to provide decentralized atomic swaps and order matching, eliminating third-party interference (middlemen, vouchers, and escrow services) when exchanging one cryptocurrency for another. Thus, it remedies vulnerabilities and inefficiencies accompanied with the current value exchange. As of February 7, 2018, Komodo has executed more than 50,000 atomic swaps.
Although scheduled for launch in November 2017, Komodo is still yet to launch the world’s first dICO with strategic e-banking partner Monaize. Once live, Komodo is set to make crypto history by bridging the gap between the blockchain and banking world.


4. Nano (NANO)
NANO Project Breakdown
Recently rebranded from RaiBlocks to Nano, Nano is everything Bitcoin never was. Correcting and building on three fundamental issues impeding Bitcoin’s mass practicality (lack of scalability, high latency, and power inefficiency), Nano is a low-latency, high-performance, trustless cryptocurrency utilizing a novel block-lattice data structure.

As opposed to distributing an entire public ledger across all nodes, Nano users enjoy their own individual account-chain, which is only able to be updated by the respective account holder (them). Due to its lightweight protocol, Nano boasts instantaneous transactions, unlimited scalability, and no fees, offering an effective, and superior alternative to Bitcoin.

Why You Should Watch NANO
With a recent rebranding and listing on Binance, Nano has created a brand ready to be recognized and adopted by mainstream audiences. As addressed in a February 6th SEC hearing on virtual currencies, money laundering, energy consumption and ICOs are all contentious issues likely to be regulated in crypto’s upcoming future. And, should these regulations be passed, Nano stands to fare quite well due to its transparency, lack of high-power mining hardware and minimal required resources.

With already 4 million transactions under their belt, a vibrant supportive community and more upcoming exchange listings, 2018 could be the year of mass adoption for this practical and cost-efficient Bitcoin alternative.


5. Siacoin (SC)
SC Project Breakdown
Competing with the likes of Amazon, Apple, DropBox and Amazon S3, Siacoin is a decentralized cloud storage platform utilizing unused and idle hard drives across the world to rent out spare hard drive space. Sia’s decentralized infrastructure enables a competitive blockchain marketplace where users compete for business and determine hosting prices, and has drawn parallels with AirBnb and Uber’s two-sided, community-based platforms.

In a world where centralized file and data storage is the norm and controlled by a select few and control, reliability, security, and cost-efficiency are virtually non-existent, Sia offers a cheaper, low-latency, reliable, more secure solution, allowing users to enjoy benefits of cloud storage, without waiving control.

Why You Should Watch SC
Sia isn’t just aiming to capture 10% of the $200 billion cloud storage market, they are striving to dominate it, citing a 70-90% share as their ultimate goal in their Wiki FAQ. And, all for a price of $.50/TB (100 times cheaper than the world’s leading CDN, Akamai). For scale, with storage points spanning 50 countries and 6 continents, and hosts within 50 milliseconds of every major city in the world, Sia’s reach already exceeds that of Amazon.
Already in the billion dollar market cap club, Sia’s blog predicts big developments in 2018, namely, the release of file sharing between Sia users, approaching major companies to act as their storage layer (including Dropbox and Netflix), and elevating Sia’s public profile through PR and marketing efforts.
If you’re curious about further mid-to long-term developments, Sia’s Trello board provides an active and up-to-date resource.


6. Kucoin Shares (KCS)
KCS Project Breakdown
Kucoin Shares isn’t just a token, it’s an incentivized bonus generated on Kucoin Exchange, a rapidly growing Hong Kong-based digital exchange that popped up in mid-2017.

Implementing a unique daily payout structure, Kucoin Exchange rewards users holding Kucoin Shares, the exchange’s token, in the form of 50% of daily trading fees, spread across every crypto traded that day. Users collect a “dust” of all cryptos traded daily, proportional to their KCS holdings, ultimately, adding up over time and allowing investors to diversify their portfolio.

Why You Should Watch KCS
If you’ve just gotten into crypto, there’s a good chance you’ve had issues finding an exchange accepting new registrations. While other exchanges such as Binance, Bittrex, and Bitfinex have been denying new users, Kucoin has welcomed new registrations by the thousands, amassing over 200,000 registered users since August 2017.
Coupled with an unperturbed few months post-launch and increasing daily volume, Kucoin’s incentivized token and daily dividend, KCS, is an attractive option for investors looking to nab a diversified slice of the pie.
Should Kucoin achieve status in the top echelon of exchanges (by volume), your accumulated “dust” could result in a healthy portfolio of numerous tokens and coins. To calculate your daily payout based on your amount of shares, click here.


7. Basic Attention Token (BAT)

BAT Project Breakdown
Based on the Ethereum blockchain, Basic Attention Token seeks to revolutionize, and remedy, the severely flawed and invasive digital advertising ecosystem by rewarding advertisers, anonymous ad viewers, and publications who provide quality content.

True to its name, BAT is the literal representation and verification of a viewer’s attention span, rewarding viewers who engage with advertising and attention-based services on the Brave browser (an open source, privacy browser and ledger system monitoring where users most spend their time) with Basic Attention Tokens, fewer targeted ads, and decreased susceptibility to malware. 

BAT not only rewards users and viewers, but also publishers via increased revenue due to reduction of advertising middlemen and fraud, and advertisers, who get more bang for their buck on data collection.   

Why You Should Watch BAT
BAT’s growth and adoption relies on the acquisition of publishing partnerships, and 2018 has started favorably, with BAT securing British news and media giant, The Guardian, as a publisher in January. Also, BAT’s marketing efforts in 2018 have not gone without yield; their 1 million dollar giveaway, which was aimed at jumpstarting the publishing ecosystem, doubled the amount of publishers from 4,000 to 8,000.
Basic Attention Token’s 2018 roadmap includes ledger and Ethereum-tested dashboard analytics for publishers, the cultivation of several premier publishing partnerships, and scalable ad revenue models and growth hacks, putting quality content back in the hands of users and eliminating pesky and malicious ads.


8. Theta Token (THETA)
THETA Project Breakdown
While BAT strives to change the way the Web is monetized, Theta is aiming to disrupt today’s online video industry through an end-to-end video streaming infrastructure, eliminating fundamental industry issues such as low quality content, high publisher costs, and a centralized and inefficient streaming ecosystem.

Theta offers the following:

– a decentralized peer-to-peer content delivery network (CDN).
– an incentivized rewards system for viewers sharing bandwidth and streaming resources.
– reduced cost streaming infrastructure.

These are all essential for a sustainable and innovative streaming ecosystem.
Additionally, the Theta platform supports vertical dapps for movies, esports, education, entertainment, enterprise conferencing and more, allowing each to issue their own tokens.

Why You Should Watch THETA
Backed and advised by the likes of YouTube co-founder, Steve Chen, and Justin Kan, the co-founder of the live streaming video platform, Twitch, Theta’s platform is set to disrupt the modern online video industry the way YouTube did in the early 2000s. In 2016, Theta launched a live streaming platform, Sliver.tv, which raised almost $10 million in Series A funding in August 2017.
Theta’s 2018 roadmap emphasizes integration of their Theta token, the platform’s incentive mechanism, into the Sliver.tv platform, followed by native Theta blockchain development and launch by end of year.
If all goes to plan, Theta and blockchain-based entertainment platforms could cripple the Netflixes of the world by freeing content creators from studios and gatekeepers, creating new categories of channels (sci-fi, live events, esports, fantasy), eliminating third-party advertisers, and making on-demand subscriptions obsolete.


9. Dragonchain (DRGN)
DRGN Project Breakdown
Originating from Disney’s Seattle office in 2016, and intended to be used as their own private blockchain, Dragonchain was initially abandoned and then released as open-source software under the Disney Open Source Program. It was then picked up and cultivated by the nonprofit Dragonchain Foundation, taking apex form as a serverless, scalable, private/public hybrid blockchain platform for businesses looking to integrate business applications onto blockchain.

Most notably, Dragonchain supports a pre-constructed smart contracts library ecosystem (Java, C#, Python, Node, Go), crowd-scaled project incubator, and marketplace for companies to access technical, legal, economic, and marketing subject matter experts.

Why You Should Watch DRGN
2018 is the year of Dragonchain’s commercial, serverless platform and incubator rollout, along with a smart contracts library and APIs, and commercialized marketplace. The platform advances countless real use cases, ranging from rights expression and licensing, to decentralized storage, to peer-to-peer financial derivatives, making it a one-stop shop for businesses seeking easy and comprehensive blockchain integration.
Dragonchain also comes at a time of significant increase in the number of cloud computing businesses and blockchain solutions wanting to move past a conceptual stage and launch a functional project. Furthering seamless integration onto the blockchain is Dragonchain’s unique architecture (a five-level consensus trust spectrum), where data consumers enjoy greater security as verification levels increase.


10. OmiseGO (OMG)
OMG Project Breakdown
Building on the success of Thailand’s leading online payment gateway and processor, Omise, OmiseGO is Omise’s blockchain back-end. It is looking to “unbank the banked with Ethereum”, through an agnostic decentralized exchange, liquidity provider mechanism, clearinghouse, and asset-backed blockchain gateway.

Simply put, OmiseGO is the missing link between financial institutions, payment systems, and jurisdictions. It allows for “real-time, peer-to-peer value exchange, and payment services” across multiple blockchains, and without the need of a trusted gateway. 

Why You Should Watch OMG
Omise, OmiseGO’s parent company, has been thriving in the payment processing industry for over 4 years. They possess numerous strategic partnerships, including Thai Airways, McDonald’s and Allianz, and OmiseGO stands to benefit from these partnerships, acting as their back-end once the product goes live.
OmiseGO is currently in the process of building their Plasma Network, an Ethereum-based scaling solution, and laying the framework for their “coup de grâs,” a currency-agnostic, cross-chain compatible, decentralized exchange.
Furthermore, Ethereum founder and OmiseGO advisor, Vitalik Buterin, has acknowledged OmiseGO’s token model as his favorite in a December, 2017 tweet. With OMG’s PoS mechanism and wallet slated for Q1 or Q2 release, 2018 is set to be an integral year for this sleeping giant.

Чисто, навскидку:

Bitcoin / NEO / Cardano / NEM / Qtum / IOTA / ICON / Zcash / Waves / EOS

На мой взгляд у них есть потенциал 

Я верю в Cardano и считаю ее одной из самых перспективных монет. Рекомендую холдить на долгосрок.

Падения, тем и хороши, что есть возможность прикупить на паник-сейлах.
Курс той же Cardano или NEM посмотри – сейчас очень привлекательный.
А, что касается роста, он неизбежен. Рынок цикличный.  Другой вопрос, когда подъем: весна / лето / осень ?

В случае, если говорить о массовом внедрении кнопки шеринга, то перспектива есть.

LTC в транцакциях очень удобная монета, ввиду этого, всегда будет актуальной.

После окончательного доминирования в основной сети биткоина активных нод, поддерживающих протокол Lightning Network, часть альтов, возможно и утратит свою актуальность…
Но, никак не 90%

Для начала, рекомендую зайти на tokenmarket (или на любой аналогичный сайт) и детально изучить каждый ICO проект на предмет перспективности инвестирования 

Объективно, Cardano есть смысл холдить на долгосрок.
Монете вполне под силу подвинуть многих в топ-5…

Помимо участия в баунти-компаниях, перспективно рассматривать создание своего YouTube или Telegram-канала с целью монетизации...

При покупке альтов в момент коррекции, обращайте внимание на перспективы той, или иной монеты... Одно дело купить на проливе NEM / Cardano / AION / EOS / ICON и т.д... И, совсем другой расклад, взять какой-нибудь забытый разработчиками щеткоин. К слову, каждый выбирает сам...
