We are back with our four ICO suggestions for February and what an exciting month it will be. Take a look at what’s in store over the coming weeks and be quick to whitelist the projects if you are interested in participating. From our point of view, here at Coinvision, these are definitely worth following.

VideoCoin

What it is
VideoCoin is revolutionizing video storage, encoding and distribution using the blockchain. The decentralized format of the platform is expected to reduce the cost of video storage and encoding by 50% to 80% when compared to centralized cloud-based solutions. VideoCoin will be deploying its own new blockchain with its own native token and has the potential to support other video apps on top of its own ecosystem.

Why we like it
The first thing to know about this project is that it boasts an impressively strong team. Their CTO, in particular, is Devadutta Ghat, the founder and chief architect of the Intel Video Transcode Service, which laid the groundwork for Facebook’s video platform. His name and others will bring a lot of hype to the project. On top of that, the intrinsic value of VideoCoin for companies working in the video industry is colossal in terms of outreach, operational cost reduction and efficiency promotion. VideoCoin will support hundreds of streaming companies, blockchain related or not, on its platform, opening the door to a multi-billion dollar market.

NEX

What it is
NEX is building a decentralized currency exchange on the blockchain. It isn’t the first, and it will not be the last, but NEX provides something new. For one, it is built on the NEO blockchain, while almost all, if not all, other decentralized exchanges are supported by the Ethereum blockchain. Further, NEX combines the blockchain platform with an off-chain matching engine, which allows it to support features other exchanges have so far been unable to do, such as market and limit orders and margin trading. It also supports extremely fast transactions.

Why we like it
NEX answers a market need within the NEO blockchain by providing a smart contract supportive decentralized exchange (DEX) with extensive trading options. It is stepping up the game in the DEX race for success by introducing new trading features but also by proposing a cross blockchain integration, towards the end of 2018, with the Ethereum network. Once deployed, this could open up a whole new market for NEX.

Endor

What it is
Predictive analytics and machine learning are concepts that are becoming ever more common in this day and age, but its technical comprehension remains the privilege of major tech corporations. Endor is going to put an end to that monopoly by deploying the “first decentralized, trustless, censorship resistance behavioral prediction platform” on the blockchain. The platform will allow anyone to ask questions and receive high-quality predictive answers in a matter of minutes, with the user having no need to understand the underlying technology.

Why we like it
Endor’s endeavour is nothing short of amazing. The democratization of AI-based technology through a virtually un-censurable platform can change our lives dramatically. The good news is that Endor’s product is already working. It is being developed by an incredibly strong team, with combined experience in major tech names like IBM, Google, MIT and even military intelligence, that has been working with both artificial intelligence and cryptos for a long time. This one can change everything.

TrustToken

What it is
While we love, at least most times, the opportunities created by volatility in the world of crypto, admittedly, it has also kept certain investors away and, above all, forbids the tokenization of real-life assets. That is the issue TrustToken is trying to address. A so called “stable coin”, it intends to bring the USD$256 trillion worth of real-world assets into the blockchain by providing a secure tokenization platform. TrustToken allows for the issuance of a new coin/token for every new asset that enters the blockchain, representing fractional ownership of the asset. This can be used for business ownership, real estate, commodities, intellectual property and basically everything else.

Why we like it
The extent of TrustToken’s value proposal is hard to overstate. The potential for open and secure tokenization of real-life assets is only really limited by the amount of value that exists in the world. The team has developed the smart contract structure and project vision with direct supervision of a large team of attorneys from all around the world, guaranteeing the legal value of these smart contract agreements. It will take tokenization to a new level and could bring the potential of blockchain technology to every household. This one is definitely one to follow.

And there you go folks. Make note of the whitelist calendar and read into these projects. Remember to never invest what you can not afford to loose. We will be keeping our eyes open and will be coming back soon with more suggestions for you.
Happy trading!
