Polymath platform is designed to ease financing, creating, issuing and listing securities tokens.
POLY is the underlying economic unit of the platform, with a limited issuance of 1 billion minted tokens. Primary buyers of tokens must use POLY that are then transferred to issuers. Issuers use their POLY to compensate participants of the token creation process. Participants that can be compensated in POLY include legal delegates, developers, and KYC providers.
Metronome proposes multi chain portability to achieve endurance and enhance decentralization.
In a system managed by autonomous smart contracts, decentralization provides MTN community with self governance.
Portability is an key feature of the project. Cross chain property allows tokens to longer endurance in the event new, smarter chains are available and mainstream.
One positive result of cross-chain ability could be broader price discovery. And if trading interest gets critical mass in multiple chains this could grant greater price stability to MTN.
Check their owners manual, and see how this predictable supplied, cross-blockchain, ERC-20 compliant token presents itself.
Nex is a new design to crypto exchange: a decentralized exchange with an off chain matching engine. The idea is to combine the fact that holder should have control of their tokens (as in Dex) but not sacrifice matching engine performance and sophistication (as in centralized exchanges).
The secret sauce of this hybrid creation is on a provable deterministic relation between off-chain matched trades and on chain transaction record.
By running a public specified deterministic protocol, that relation can make sure also fair price matching and on chain settlement.
Initially running on NEO, they plan to include Ethereum and other chains in future development.
NEX, Neon Exchange token, is entitled of a share of fees by their NEX on stake, similar to GAS on NEO.
Basis team designed a system that target price stability. Their premise is that volatile cryptocurrencies are not suitable for many day-to-day applications.
In their white paper co-founders Nader Al-Naji, Josh Chen and Lawrence Diao outline a smart three-token system that besides the core Basis coin, uses bond and share tokens to expand and contract coin availability. This systems intends to execute monetary policy towards price stability.Continue reading
Sweetbridge protocol enables availability of coins backed by deposit of crypto assets.
This could be used for cash availability of coins without losing exposure to original assets held. At worst this is a blockchain pawn shop. At best this optimizes global supply chains.
Their ecosystem combines protocols for supply chains, liquidity providing, crowdsales, and tokenizing businesses.

Health Nexus, a data handling protocol based on blockchain. The design aims to be a system that provides validated data sharing.
HLTH token utility is to be the means of remuneration among users of the data-sharing platform.
Tech implementation and potential developments are described in their whitepaper.
Golem is a decentralized global supercomputer. Processing power is shared by users (providers) to applications (requestors). Ethereum based smart contract handles transaction of remuneration.
Network nodes create sandboxes isolated in providers’ machines. Golem technology then combine computations back to requestor application.
After a hyped launch in 2016 when it raised 820k ETH, software development delayed until they had its Brass Golem mainnet ready for their first use case: CGI rendering. Next in line could be machine learning.
According to the whitepaper, GNT is the utility token that is used to remunerate providers from requestors to providers and other interactions with the network according to the transaction framework.
Dai Stablecoin is a collateral-backed cryptocurrency whose value is stable relative to the US Dollar
Maker (MKR) is a smart contract platform on Ethereum that backs and stabilizes the value of Dai through a dynamic system of Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs), autonomous feedback mechanisms, and appropriately incentivized external actors.Continue reading
Token issuers will act on the primary market involved directly in creation and redemption of tokens. KYC, AML, and other regulatory provision should apply according to each fund and distribution.
Funds tokenizers are domiciled in the Cayman Islands. Each fund may be incorporated as a Limited Partnership if suitable.
RCN is a peer-to-peer protocol for blockchain and smart contracts. The network connects lenders, borrowers and other members into a network to facilitate credit.
RCN engines hosts and run the logic and state of smart contracts. Oracles provide the interface between RCN and other currencies. Other agents may connect to the network in order to provide credit scores, ID verification, and interact with credit.
Check out their technical guidelines and documentation.
RCN tokens are the network’s utility payment. RCN are required to access the network and allow interaction among its members.
“STABLE is a project aiming to reduce the volatility and inefficiencies existing in digital tokens markets and stabilize them, thus driving their wider acceptance”
After the ICO Stable plans to list STB toke on crypto exchanges. According to their white paper STB achieve lower volatility mostly by means of exploring market inefficiencies and a flexible token supply,
OmiseGO is an online payment gateway service provider
operating in Southeast Asia. OmiseGO was created to achieve two goals:
Create the OMG Money Gateway as a scaling solution for Ethereum
Develop the OMG open-source, white label digital wallet Software Development KitContinue reading
Verge adds an anonumity layer ona Bitcoin-inspired blockchain.
This layer rellies on TOR’s and I2p routing design to make network surveillance not able to track transactions posting.
Verge whitepaper also describes how Electrum Wallet, Integrated Portals and Wraith Protocol combine into Verge system.
LegalThings One proposes a platform for contracts dubbed as ‘Live Contracts‘. Live contracts are agreed in commercial/legal terms but allows some parameters to interaction. Such parameters are formalized so that they may be interpreted by code. After interactions are made so that parties agree then each party sets a node to run contract as specified.Continue reading
Will Cardano deliver the hype? It’s a lot to deal with. Their SL Mainnet is live, and their progress seems to be following their roadmap.
As a multi layer protocol Cardano is a bold proposition; one layer being an account, then a layer for smart contracts, and an identity/compliance layer on top. First to third generation crypto covered in one ecosystem.
Development is open source and patent free. Check out its backbone: ‘Ouroboros’ directly from the whitepaper. Spoiler: it’s PoS.
The smart contract of the ICO is a binding agreement that we’ve entered into with our token buyers and the ICO is continuing in accordance with the terms set in code until April 9, 2018. If the soft cap of $4 000 000 isn’t reached, we will return all the funds to our token buyers. You can find a detailed instruction here or just click on “get a refund” button.

Digix Gold Token – DGX is a token representing 1 gram of gold.
DGD is the DAO system governance token. System includes Digix Badges (DGB).
Digix Whitepaper describes a much interesting Proof of Asset protocol. ‘The PoA protocol utilises Ethereum and the InterPlanetaryFiles System (IPFS) to track an asset through its chain of custody’.
CRYPTO20 is a tokenized crypto index fund. Its token trades listed as C20.
The ethereum based, ERC20 compliant smart contract allows for liquidation process. Holders can redeem tokens for the Ether equivalent of the calculated NAV of the crypto assets held by the fund, less an 1% trading fee.
Marketcap or market-share debate aside, cap-ceiling at 10% may cause clearly distinct behaviour from what would be a no-cap portfolio distribution.
Litecoin proposes to complement Bitcoin as a cheaper and faster payment method. Its open source global network allows descentralized transactions handled by blockchain.
