Strykz ICO Review
With the World Cup raging on, there is no doubt that football is the most popular sport in the world. Fans are not content with simply being spectators, however, they want to be part of the game. This has been made possible with the emergence of fantasy football, which football fans across the world have participated in for many years. Now, however, fantasy football is about to be ‘blockchainized’. Let us have a look at the Strykz project and their Football-Stars platform.
What is Strykz?
Strykz is an ICO that aims to tokenize all fantasy sports, starting with football. The team behind the ICO already has an existing platform for this in place, called Football-Stars. The platform has won numerous awards, and the Strykz ICO is intended to take it to the next level. It is an attractive platform for people passionate about football, as many of them have a deep knowledge of the game that they want to put to the test.
Football-Stars is a platform where they can take on the role of coach and manager, create their own team of real-life football players, and compete with their friends and family. The outcome of the games is calculated based on the real-life players’ performance statistics. However, the team behind Strykz have plans on allowing users to generate their own games so that they are not bound by traditional rules. This will allow the community to define the criteria for winning a particular game, as well as the costs of participating in it.
How does Strykz work?
The aim is to develop Football-Stars into a community-driven platform, where users generate the majority of the content. No longer will they be constrained by the leagues and games set up by platform administrators, users can put together their own leagues and games that others can enjoy. In return for contributing with the content of their own, they will be rewarded with cryptocurrency tokens.
These tokens can, in turn, be redeemed for additional platform features or real-life football merchandise. It is also possible to spend the tokens on participating in other user-generated challenges on the platform. The advantage of doing this is that users will be rewarded with more tokens for doing so. In essence, they can continue to play indefinitely. Being monetarily incentivized to play fantasy football and receiving merchandise in return for it is a dream come true for any football fan.
What are the key features of Strykz?
One of the main attractive features of the Football-Stars platform is that the developers offer is as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). This means that other companies can launch it internationally, and thus spread it to other markets in other languages than English. The team behind the platform offers this as a way for businesses to save 70% on development costs, in exchange for purchasing a license. As mentioned earlier, users will also be able to monetize their contributions to the platform and be rewarded with tokens that can be exchanged for merchandise. A win-win situation for everyone involved.

Cotrader ICO Review
If you are in the game of trading assets or currency, you will know that there is a lot of red tape involved. All trades usually have to go through a number of intermediaries before it can be finalised. Would it not be nice if there was a way to avoid all the hassle involved with trading, so you could you get on with business?
Fortunately, the cryptocurrency space has spawned a solution to this problem. As always, blockchain technology makes the process of getting real work done much easier than legacy technology. Cotrader is one of the ICOs that are designed to make life as a trader much easier than ever imagined before.
How does Cotrader work?
By utilising blockchain technology, the team behind Cotrader has cleverly circumvented many of the obstacles slowing down the process of trading. The platform aims to give traders much-needed control over their assets, whilst also securing them on an unprecedented scale. At the same time, this eliminates the chain of middlemen that is usually involved in the trading process. The peer-to-peer system integrated into the platform puts traders in direct contact with each other, which also reduces the costs associated with transactions. The exchanges that are built in to the platform also allows traders to do their business using multiple kinds of cryptocurrency tokens. In short, Cotrader is looking to revolutionize the $16 trillion asset management industry in the United States.
What is a Smart Fund?
Because Cotrader is using the Ethereum network, smart contracts are bound to pop up. In this instance, a Smart Fund is a smart contract that has several people attached to it, including fund managers and investors. The smart contract also has shares, which can be traded for cryptocurrency. These shares are allocated to the investors of the Smart Fund. The fund manager of the Smart Fund can in turn use the investors’ money to make a profit. The advantage here is that investors are able to withdraw their investment at any time, much like depositing money into a bank.
What is a Fund Manager?
In order to become a Fund Manager on the Cotrader platform, you have to pay a small one-time fee for each transaction that is connected to any given Smart Fund. This fee is deducted from any profit that a Fund Manager makes from an investment in any given Smart Fund.
What is a Calculating Fund?
The investors will deposit their investments into Smart Funds. When using Cotrader, these investments will automatically be converted into the native cryptocurrency, which is COT tokens. When an investment is made, the value of the Smart Fund is calculated. Based on this calculation, the number of shared allocated to the investor is then worked out. If the Smart Fund is only based on COT tokens, this process is simple. However, if there are several different kinds of cryptocurrencies involved, each with their own value, it becomes slightly more complicated. Fortunately, the algorithms used by Cotrader are very sophisticated.

HumanCoin ICO Review
Charities around the world have begun to open their eyes to the possibilities offered by cryptocurrency. In the cryptocurrency community there is an untapped resource of donors that charities could have access to if they have a method of accepting donations in cryptocurrency. Like most businesses, the majority of charities are not in this position. It could be argued that it is even more difficult for charities to adopt a new method of payment, as they have fewer resources to work with than big businesses have.
Cryptocurrency donations have so far only been possible for Save The Children, Red Cross, United Way, and other major charities with substantial funds and infrastructure. With this in mind, it was only a question of time before some clever cookies came up with another way for charities to accept donations from cryptocurrency holders. This is where HumanCoin enters the picture.
What is HumanCoin?
More than just a way for cryptocurrency holders to donate their tokens to charitable causes, HumanCoin brings together donors, charities, and e-commerce platforms. By using the HumanCoin platform, donors can send money to charities around the world, keep an eye on their transactions, and look at reports from the charity to see what the money has been used for. With blockchain technology, HumanCoin has made charitable donations a much more transparent and secure experience for donors and charities alike. On top of this, the HumanCoin team has also successfully incorporated the aggregation of e-commerce loyalty programs into their platform, further enhancing the utility of their tokens.
How does HumanCoin work?
Interested donors quite simply sign up to use the HumanCoin platform, where they will be able to view all the charities that are signed up. Once the donors have picked a charity of their choice, they select the amount of HUMA tokens (the native currency on the platform) they would like to send to the charity. HumanCoin will be using Ethereum’s smart contract technology to ensure that the charities are using the funds being sent to them for the intended purpose. The if/then concept of smart contracts will ensure that donors can rest easy knowing that their money will not be spent on anything other than the charity’s goal. Donors will also be able to take advantage of a number of loyalty programs tied to the many e-commerce organisations HumanCoin has partnered with.
What are the key features of HumanCoin?
The platform eliminates the costly and time-consuming process of donating to charities through a chain of intermediaries. Rather, the donors will be in direct contact with the charities they have chosen to donate to. HumanCoin is also the first blockchain project that has aggregated e-commerce loyalty programs.
What about the HumanCoin tokens?
The native currency on the HumanCoin platform is the HUMA token. These tokens can be traded for any other cryptocurrency token. This means that no matter what kind of token donors are holding, they can convert them into HUMA tokens and then donate to a charity. The tokens can also be converted to loyalty points, vouchers, and coupons, which can be used with the many e-commerce partners affiliated with HumanCoin.

InsCoin ICO Review
For many people, the insurance industry can be a minefield to navigate. Although there are many legitimate insurance companies that do have their customers best interests at heart, there are also some bad apples.
Horror stories of how customers have had their claims rejected due to a technicality are widespread. One the other hand, it is not just among the insurance companies there are bad apples to be found. Some customers have also engaged in fraudulent activities in an attempt to cheat the system and get an insurance claim paid out based on false premises. Needless to say, there is a certain element of distrust in the insurance world. Fortunately, a solution is on the horizon. InsCoin for Knox Project is an ICO that aims to address this issue by incorporating blockchain technology into the insurance system.
What is InsCoin?
InsCoin is a part of the Knox Project, which aims to be the first insurance company that combines the real world aspects of insurance with the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. By using digital ledger technology, the team wants to eliminate forgery, fraud, and the rejection of legitimate claims. The decentralized nature of the blockchain will ensure that all records are kept on a secure network. Using Ethereum’s smart contract system will also create an unprecedented transparency that will benefit both companies and claimants.
How does InsCoin work?
The platform will be using smart contracts as the core agreement between customers and insurance companies. The if/then premise of smart contracts will avoid false insurance policies, as the same system issues both the policies and the payments. Neither will the insurance companies experience any delays in the collection of credits, as their coverage is only issued after the customer’s payment has been made. This will not only make transactions easier but will also greatly reduce the managerial burden on the company. The most important and interesting thing is perhaps that the company will not be able to reject claims due to technicalities. The insurance companies will no longer be in control of the decision on whether or not to pay out a claim. Instead, whether or not the claimant is paid will come down to the stipulations in the smart contract. The money will only be released if the conditions for their release are met.
How is InsCoin progressing?
The project kicked off in March last year when the developers established the Team Building Establishment. In May 2017, the forecast business plan was fleshed out, and legal consulting was covered.
Two months later, the IT insurance platform was licensed. In October last year, the project secured partnerships with more than 300 insurance brokers. 2018 has seen the team plan the ICO launch and marketing plan. Last month the official Pre-ICO started, and the actual ICO started just this month. The rest of 2018 will be spent on getting InsCoin onto the main cryptocurrency exchanges and securing authorizations from official authorities to provide legal insurance to their clients. Customers will be able to utilize the platform in late 2018.
