ICO project based on Ethereum
just like bitcoin, Ethereum is neither controlled nor owned by anyone - it is an open source project created by many people around the world. Different from bitcoin protocol, Ethereum's design is very flexible and adaptable. It is very easy to create new applications on the Ethereum platform. With the release of homestead, anyone can use the applications on this platform safely
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain. It does not give users a series of preset operations, but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes. In this way, it can be used as a platform for many types of decentralized blockchain applications
in a narrow sense, Ethereum refers to a series of protocols that define a decentralized application platform. The core of Ethereum is Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), which can encode any complex algorithm. In computer science terminology, Ethereum is "Turing complete.". Developers can use the existing JavaScript and python as the model of other friendly programming languages to create applications running on the Ethereum simulator.
however, in the coin circle, it is important to use bitcoin ICO, and then the platform will send some tokens to users. However, the price fluctuation of these tokens is very large. Now the profit possibility of this model is relatively small. Another is the European crowdfunding model. Crowdfunding projects issue tokens, which exist as asset certificates and have a fixed dividend mechanism.
ICO is the full name of initial coin offering, short for the first public offering of digital token, which imitates the IPO of the stock market. That is to say, the project sponsor can obtain financing by issuing initial token through blockchain technology, but the initial token cannot be purchased in legal currency (RMB, US dollar, etc.), because it violates the laws and regulations of various countries on financing, and needs to be purchased with digital assets with good liquidity such as bitcoin and Ethereum
At present, the supervision of ICO needs to be improved, which requires us to be careful in screening I"in fact, there are only a few criteria for evaluating projects. Is it a real blockchain? Is it necessary to use blockchain? Has the team really been engaged in the development of blockchain Technology (many people have fake resumes, blockchain technology is still difficult, and there are not many mature technicians)? Is there any entity registration (to prevent runaway) Lu Lihua, head of the world wide chain market, said
at the same time, a full and accurate white paper is very important. Generally, there will be a brief introction in the white paper, which will tell you what problems to solve, what is the principle behind, what is special, what is the value, how to divide the financing token, how to use the token, what are the ICO rules, what is the background of the team, and whether it is a project that can be implemented. Interestingly, there was an ICO project white paper before that, in which Satoshi Nakamoto's name was written as Zhong bencong, the degree of deception was astonishing
of course, even if the above elements are complete, ICO projects still have risks. After all, future technologies will take a long time to test
