ICO (meaning) (Initial Coin Offering) is a fundraising project, regulating brand new cryptocurrency sales for fiat or other cryptocurrency. Project that attracts funds creates its own tokens. You transfer money to this company and in return receive this new cryptocurrency, which carries some kind of commitment. Tokens used as coins. Tokens developed by application of BLOCKCHAIN system.

STO (meaning) (Security Token Offering) is a new form of investing blockchain projects by offering token securities. Unlike tokens, possession of token securities gives owners all the rights specific to owning ordinary securities. Tokens do not grant any rights. Therefore, token securities (or security tokens) are a category of security tokens that qualify for such an asset. To determine if a token is a stock you can use the "Howey" test.

IEO (meaning) (Initial Exchange Offering), as its name implies, conducted on the cryptocurrency exchange platform. Unlike Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), IEO managed by the exchange on behalf of a startup that is trying to raise funds with its recently issued tokens.

What cryptocurrency is?

By the definition of Investopedia, Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that is secured by cryptography, which makes it nearly impossible to counterfeit or double-spend.

STAGES of the project:

The procedure usually has several stages:

Preliminary announce.

Founders of the start-up propose the public ingenious idea in global terms. At preliminary phase, this idea described only on paper or only in the minds of a startup team. The level of investor interests in the project is “felt”. Announcements are held in electronic media, social networks, as well as in the form of conferences. There is a dispute between contributors and authors of the idea.

Offer

This is a proposal for contribution. Despite the freedom of an ICO from any regulation, it must be attached to legal entity. The time range for the idea implementation, amount of money for project development, description of tokens emission. To do this, start-up usually creates a separate website with full information.

Marketing campaign

When almost everything is ready for the beginning, an advertising campaign starts. In contrast to the preliminary announcement, here a startup can already tell more about its product / service disclose investment conditions, goals, and technical details. Various channels are used for advertising: ICO Lists and directories, electronic media, social networks, presentations, thematic portals.

Sale stage

A beginning of sale called Start. Start-up suggests investors to buy tokens inside project website and later, tokens will be placed on public cryptocurrency exchanges. Listing of the token on Stock Exchange considered to be a kind of quality signs of their project. Developers offer for you an exclusive idea and announce conditions of investment. If the project succeeds, you receive dividends. However, ICO not regulated by anyone and is not always connected with blockchain technology or cryptocurrency. Most of the projects use smart contracts of the Ethereum platform and investing occurs in ETH, less often in other cryptocurrencies, even less often in regular cash. The exhaust from the token investment may be up to 10000 times of initial investment.
