Review ICOVO ICO - the world’s first and only ICO platform
MISSION &VISION
ICOs are at the crux of the ecosystem necessary for hatching innovative blockchain-related startups.
ICOVO will support a healthy ICO which will make a future by offering ICOVO Web、ICOVO App and DAICOVO. Details are described below in three points.
- Increase ICO Transparency and Protect Investors
- Reduce Barriers for ICO Participation
- Increase Project Durability
We aim to protect ICO investors by introducing a fundraising management system and
increasing the transparency of ICO project founders as well as the projects themselves.
+ Decentralized Token Management: We will create DAICOVO, an original smart contract incorporating DAICO’s fundamental idea of decentralized token management.
We will introduce a system that only allows withdrawals according to the capital demand of a project’s pre-loaded schedule through a Tap system (setting an amount that can be withdrawn per unit of time). This will prevent developers from running off with raised funds.
In the event that an investor notices a problem with the project, they are able to retract their investment that was raised under agreement as a refund.
+ Decentralized White Paper Versioning: Versioning for White Paper not to be tamperd is managed by InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).
+ Team Member KYC/AML:
We will increase ICO project team member’s transparency by providing ICO project team member’s KYC/AML on ICOVO website in a centralized method.
+ Visualize Activity Situation: We will increase project transparency by quantifying social media activity and GitHub updates on ICOVO’s website.
Reduce Barriers for ICO Participation
Create a better investment environment and reduce barriers to ICO participation by unifying the investment process and the format for information disclosure.
+ Implementing Local Wallet: Implementing a safe local wallet in ICOVO's original ICO-specialized smartphone app, the ICOVO App, helps with understanding the participation process for complicated token sales and managing tokens.
+ Unifying Formats
ICO project pages and summaries of whitepapers on ICOVO’s website presents information consicely, making it easier to understand for investors. Accessibility is enhanced by offering a summary of all the projects using the same format.
+ Reducing labor for KYC
Eliminate the need for ICO investors to do KYC each time they invest. When they participate in ICO project token sales on the ICOVO App, they perform KYC only once as ICOVO will share the information with the ICO project founders.
Increase Project Durability
Sustain project founders' motivation for product release and increase project durability by introducing a system in which project founders can only withdraw tokens according to their investment demand milestone.
+ Fund acquisition≠Goal: By introducing a system of original smart contracts implementing DAICOVO in which funds can only be withdrawn according to a project’s pre-loaded schedule by Tap (set an amount that can be withdrawn per unit of time), motivation to finish the project founders.
DAICOVO: Smart contracts implementing the DAICO model
In addition to the functions required by ICO project founders such as issuing, selling, and managing unique tokens, DAICOVO offers smart contracts optimized for ICOs adopting the DAICO model. For ICO project founders who use DAICOVO to do their ICO on ICOVO Web, all of the required work, including token design, DAICOVO parameter setting, compilation, and deployment, is free. We plan to release DAICOVO as open source.
Proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin on January 6, 2018, a DAICO is a model that uses decentralized methods to prevent planners from dishonestly using funds raised through an ICO. In ICOs using tokens that conform to the ERC20 standard, smart contracts are used to limit the amount of funds raised that project founders can withdraw per unit of time, and if the project is canceled for whatever reason, the remaining funds can be returned to the ICO investors if a consensus is reached
ICOVO App: A smartphone app featuring a wallet optimized for ICOs
ICOVO's iOS/Android features a multi-token multi-account wallet compatible with ETH and ERC20 tokens based on the safe private wallet, Wallet format with the purpose of enhancing security by storing the private key only in the mobile device not online, that has been released and is already in use by many, Tachyon, developed from scratch by our CTO Nishimura.
ICOVO App have the one stop solution for investors and project founders. Project founder don't need to develop it anymore.
ICOVO App also have dashboard features,KYC/AML,Whitelist registration, Whitepaper viewer,ICO project list integrates with ICOVO Web and Photo ID uploader.
Furthermore it include DAICOVO user interface and has the interface for Decentralized Exchange(DEX) where users can trade their tokens.
ICOVO Web: An ICO listing site with thorough ICO investor protections
ICOVO Web is a website for ICO project founders to list their ICOs for investors. It thoroughly protects ICO investors and lists only ICO projects that comply with ICOVO requirements. The criteria for listing on ICOVO are the utilization of DAICOVO, planner KYC/AML as required by ICOVO, and disclosure of the progress of the project.
The biggest feature is whitepaper versioning using IPFS. All the whitepapers of ICO projects listed on ICOVO Web are managed by IPFS and Block chain. Whitepaper versioning through IPFS storage and block chain makes it impossible to tamper with whitepapers later on. This means that even if investors fail to download the whitepaper before the ICO or lose it, they can always verify whether the project is proceeding according to the original whitepaper, and if it is not, they can draft and vote to have their money refunded.
The KYC required by ICOVO, which includes passport-based ID verification and AML, applies not only to the investors but also to the ICO project founders. Furthermore, in order to increase the transparency of ICO project activity, ICOVO shares the state of progress on the project by quantifying and displaying the project's use of GitHub, social media, and other major tools.
ICOVO also requires a uniform format for certain essential whitepaper items so that each ICO project planner's whitepaper can be read in a unified format. The ICOVO App is synchronized with the ICO list information and bookmark function so that ICO investors can achieve participation all in one place.
We also provide ICO project founders with a white-label dashboard for investors including a referral program, airdrop program, KYC/AML and more.
