Dear Alethena Community

Thank you very much for your continuous support and your patience since our token sale event. 
Despite failing to reach the soft cap, we were able to attract additional investors, publish new ratings on our platform, and refine our rating methodology. 
To comply with the terms and conditions of our token sale, we have refunded all crypto-investments to the provided addresses.   

However, we will continue our endeavours of making the cryptomarket more transparent and sustainable by turning Alethena into a fully operational Swiss Blockchain-Asset Rating Agency and Due Diligence service provider.

The continued funding will be sustained by our newly developed methodology of bringing proper company shares, encompassing all rights and duties, on the blockchain.

In case you would like to learn more about our tokenised-shares, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via contact@alethena.com

Thank you very much 

Team Alethena

Anyone like us interested in launching an ICO will bear witness to a wholly corrupted market. Purchased ratings, purchased listings, purchased followers — the ICO market is rife with deception and shady offers. This fraudulent behaviour is damaging the entire crypto ecosystem. It is high time that we as a community band together against these practices and finally provide much-needed transparency.

It is just the tip of the iceberg.  We recently proved what has long been rumoured in the community through investigative research. This is what happened afterwards.

Dear Bailo, please reach out to us via tokensale@alethena.com. Thank you.

Dear Alethena Community


On June 27th our Token Sale has officially ended.

As we have not reached the Soft Cap (CHF 3m) in this public sale period, we will continue with “Filling Up” as outlined in our Token Specifications.

We kindly ask for your patience during the coming 90 days (i.e. until September 26th, 2018) where we will evaluate opportunities of additional funding (e.g. venture capital via share- or token issuance or other private placements) to successfully complete the Token Sale and reach the Soft Cap.

If the Filling Up is not successful, all raised funds during the Token Sale will be paid back to the investors.

In case of any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us via tokensale@alethena.com.


We strongly believe in proper blockchain-asset due diligence for investors and we are committed to bring more transparency to the market.

Thank you for your continuous support and feedback.

Stay tuned for more.


Your Alethena Team

We bought ICO ratings on ICObench to prove how crooked the system is and why a proper investment project due diligence is necessary.

@cpasatel - Just wondering, how much money did you spend for SprintX to be rated on IcoBench? How, in your personal opinion, should a rating be?

We agree that current ratings might be corrupted - Thats why Alethena has developed a rating methodology focusing at the fundamental facts of ICOs, evaluating more than 60 factors in the areas of technical, business, governance and legal.
