2017 had been a tremendous year for ICOs with billions of dollars being raised. Now as we strut towards the end of 2018, it can well be said that this year as well has been a fair ride for ICO campaigns.

In this article, we shall take a look at a few ICOs which have been the highlights of 2018 and also a few upcoming ones which promises to deliver.

1. Zilliqa : Zilliqa is a public blockchain, which is designed by implementing the sharding technique, to enable a higher throughput and thus overcome the existing problem of blockchain scalability. Their model implements a hybrid consensus protocol which promises to increase the transaction throughput as more nodes keep joining the blockchain network.
   With a reputed team and impressive marketing, Zilliqa managed to raise the hard cap during its ICO. ZIL coin, the native token of Zilliqa currently remains as one of the top 30 coins by market cap.
2. NEX : NEX is a high performance decentralised exchange, which enables secured payments. It leverages an off chain matching engine to handle enormous trading volume across multiple blockchain networks.
   A reputed team, promising product and strong marketing has helped NEX to achieve its hard cap. This project is certainly one of the highlights of 2018.
3. Mainframe : Mainframe has been designed to serve as a platform for hosting decentralized applications and the platform is resistant to any kind of censorship or surveillance, thus enabling seamless data routing. Mainframe has performed pretty well in its ICO and has been listed on top listing sites along with a very impressive rating score, even post ICO.
   These examples are a testimony to the fact that the ICO way isn’t as dull as it has been projected at times. With an impressive product and a sound marketing strategy, your ICO can succeed.
4. IDAP : IDAP claims to be the world’s first complete crypto derivatives exchange. Trading in cryptocurrencies involves a certain amount of risk and IDAP aims to help people to trade with lower risks through its wide range of trading instruments. The IDAP token is a WRC20 token, based on Wanchain, an interoperable blockchain.
   Being listed on top ICO listing websites with high ratings, and enormous buzz around the crypto space, thanks to a great PR strategy, IDAP looks promising. Having already performed well in the presale, it seems that IDAP owns high chances of being one of the most successful ICOs of 2018.
5. Maester Protocol : With an objective to introduce the consultancy industry to the on-demand economy, Maester Protocol has come up with a blockchain based on-demand digital consultancy platform which aims to bring consultancy seekers and consultants from all fields in a single platform where they can connect easily and transact securely.
   The founders already having prior experience by having established companies like Foodpanda in the field of on-demand service, Maester Protocol seems to have all the ingredients to perform well in its upcoming ICO.

We at Orion Stride wish to support your project by marketing it profoundly, as we have successfully done for IDAP and Maester Protocol.
