ICO - 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 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.

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 ICO start. Start-up suggests investors to buy tokens inside project website. 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.

Airdrop is a free distribution of tokens for performing some small task (subscribe to an account, make a post, etc.).

Blockchain is a database consisting of a continuous chain of consecutive linked blocks, where each successive block depends on the previous one. Each block contains a timestamp and a link to the previous block. Blockchain concept invented by Satoshi Nakamoto and used in 2009 as a base of Bitcoin. Where the blockchain played the role of the main general registry for all operations.

Bounty is an opportunity to collect tokens of the project at the beginning of the ICO with no investment. The scheme is very easy. At the stage of creating a start-up, some part of the tokens is reserved and goes to marketing. Then, at a certain time, you are charged, and then payments made when the sale ended.

Crowdsale is the essential stage in the coin sales, that is, the ICO itself. It done by start-ups themselves to increase authority of their project. Tokens sale usually take place on the domestic level via the start-up platform.

Mining is the process of cryptocurrency mining. A distributed system confirming pending transactions by including them in a blockchain. Mining provides a chronological order of transactions in the blockchain, network neutrality, and allows different computers to "agree" on a single system state. In order to confirm transactions, they must be packaged in a unit that meets strict cryptography requirements and must be verified by the network. These rules do not allow changing the previous block, so in this case all the following blocks would be invalid. In addition to this, mining creates an analogue of the lottery, which excludes the possibility of simply sequentially adding blocks to a chain by any user. Thus, no one can control a blockchain or replace parts of it with others to roll back their transactions.

ICO review is the opinion of an expert or a community member reflecting an assessment of the main criteria for the quality of a proposed ICO project. In most cases, several key factors are taken into account in the ICO reviews: the main idea of the project, the level of the team and consultants, whitepaper, and the quality of the presentation of the project for investors (website, presentations, etc.)

WhitePaper is a document, which contains full project description. It describes the essence of idea and how innovative and promising is the project. It describes a niche and other important aspects that might interest a potential investor are considered. This is a kind of document, after reading which, a person understands whole idea and essence of the project.
