Verdict
Below is a breakdown of the risks and growth potential of Enecuum.

Risks
Independent code reviewers think the code in their GitHub does not reflect most of the claims made in the whitepaper so far. (-2.5)
Although the team is highly experienced in software development, the absence of actual blockchain development is a worry. (-1.5)
Although the team claims that they have already reached a speed of 9,000 transactions per second, there are not much to back it as the test-net has not been made public yet. (-2)

Growth Potential
Great team and advisors experienced in software development, management, and (+3.5)
SHARNELL Smart Contracts provides higher security as they make automatic reliable testing possible and this can attract interest from projects aiming to launch ICOs. (+2)
PoA mining will be conducted by smartphones and 70% of mining rewards will be allocated to their owners. A more democratic mining with ASIC resistance should have the interest of the mining community eventually. (+1.5)
HyperDAG is a more advanced form of DAG which is used in Nano and Iota. (+2.5)

Disposition
Enecuum is a blockchain project with superior technical features. SHARNELL Smart Contracts, invented by the Enecuum team, enables automatic reliable testing and ensures higher security. Mining is conducted in three different stages, thanks to an algorithm called Trinity which is a combination of proof of work, proof of activity and proof of stake. As by default, 70% of mining rewards are allocated for PoA miners, or people using their smartphones for mining, a fair mining environment has already been established. A more advanced form of DAG, HyperDAG is used to obtain a higher transaction speed. Although the team claims that they have already reached 9,000 TPS on the test-net, it is better to be wary for now since it is not possible to verify this publicly. Although many team members are highly experienced in software development, management, and finance, the absence of blockchain development for such an ambitious project is a worry. Enecuum receives a 4.5/10.
