Token Report Product Update, 2018 Week 1
Happy New Year!
In my last post, I outlined our road map for the next 45 days. As I mentioned, I’ll be doing periodic updates on our progress and on new features we’re releasing in our products at Token Report.
We’re well on our way to releasing our Token Liquidity Signal, tracking listings, delistings and volume momentum on cryptocurrency exchanges, and delivering alerts to our users. Kyle Gibson wrote a quick progress update, earlier this week, showing an internal test of the feature.
We’ll have it integrated by Jan. 15 for beta users of Token Clarity, our Telegram-based message bot for alerts and searches related to cryptocurrency tokens. (The bot is in free beta right now; you can sign up at www.tokenreport.com/sign-up.)
As we started 2018 at Token Report, I was reminded about how truly globalized ICOs are by reading a fascinating post by my colleague, Seline Jung, who wrote 2017: The Year ICOs Re-Drew the World VC Map, highlighting that ICOs are truly global in nature.
We’re keeping track of where each project is based, and we have now integrated that geo tagging so users of Token Clarity can see it.
It’s truly amazing to see just how global things are when you can now search in Token Clarity for a token or keyword, then see immediately their GEO Tag. For example, I searched for “exchange” and got results from Spain, Canada and Finland.
Drilling down into a project we also GEO tag, so if you know the ticker or click on the symbol of the ICO in Clarity, it will also show it’s locale using the GEO flag emoji. Simple, but very effective.
Pretty cool to quickly see that a project is from Belgium and that you can gain access to vital data right from our Bot.
Conclusion
As you can see a simple feature like this can really help you understand more about a project and it’s geography without really having to dig into their white paper or head to their Web site. Simple but effective. That’s really what we’re always trying to do — provide you with the best possible insight you can get, quickly and effectively.
Once we release our liquidity signal, we have two more trading signals to add: a Sale Momentum Signal and a Forum Signal. We’re making progress faster than expected on tracking activity in cryptocurrency forums, so that feature will probably be released earlier than its planned Feb. 15 release date. Sale Momentum is proving more challenging: We are indexing our Ethereum node to make our queries more efficient.
I’ll have more to say about that shortly in my next post so stay tuned!
One last thing, I’d love to hear about some of your ideas or needs as it pertains to ICO investing and what information you’d like to be getting. Find me in our forum on Telegram, where my handle is @BostonAccent.
