ICO Engine is the first tool Powered by Eidoo that allows users to participate in ICOs through the Eidoo mobile app (available for both iOS and Android) with a user-friendly procedure, in a secure system and with a growing community.

The ICO Engine website brings together several great upcoming ICOs, allowing users to get to know them according to their features: from the project to the team, from the start date to what they intend to collect.

ICO Engine combines the Eidoo app with the expertise of Bitmax, an exchanger authorized to manage payments in fiat money and currently the leader in the ICO industry in Switzerland.

ICO Engine is, therefore, a sort of social network dedicated to ICOs which ensures, with its KYC procedure, high visibility thanks to over 500.000 Eidoo downloads on mobile devices worldwide and more than 20.000 KYC verified users.

PHASE 1

SCREENING

All ICOs will be evaluated by our internal team according to the following factors:

Solution of the problem
Like in traditional economy, the ICO teams should address specific problems with their product/service. On the basis of this we evaluate the market potential of the product, the consequential demand in the future and the scalability of the project. A clear explanation of the product maturity level and the Go To Market strategy compared to other competitors will be appreciated.

Business and Token sale model
The business model has to be clear. It is important to have a high quality and well developed white paper, including a detailed description of the technical aspects of the product and a defined roadmap with specific goals broken down by periods. It’s crucial for us to understand: why a new token and why is an on-chain solution necessary? Also, how could the price increase? For a new blockchain, the consensus mechanism has to be explained.

Token Sale terms
Token sale has to be fair in terms of percentage allocated to the crowd and hard cap. Other relevant factors of evaluation are the token releasing process, the pricing and the lock-ups for team and partners and the discounts applied to the ICO participants.

Team
We will take into consideration only teams with a valid track record in the crypto economy. We will do a very thorough analysis of the key elements of the team’s skills and their reputation in the industry.

The first 15 selected ICOs will go directly to the finals, a second group of ICOs will be invited to participate in the semifinals. If you register your ICO after the first deadline of 15 May, you will necessarily have to go through the semifinals first.
