Will appreciate if you make note of my comment when you post. i.e. Waiting for new whitepaper and mvp

24-Apr. I'm passing on crypto curve I mean in my opinion from looking at the team, I don't think it's a strong team and if it's not an all-star team I don't touch it.

2-May. Cap too high for the project. Wanchain official wallet. Tieups and team is good. I will be passing the project.

3-May. Wallet for Wanchain, Launchpad for ICOs and so on. Project is interesting, Hype is rising. We don`t have final decision.

Use Case: Wanchain Wallet

Market Competitive environment:
The team aims to operate on the highly competitive market with great teams and well-developed projects, in which already was was invested hundreds of millions of dollars.
There are 10+ competitors in the DEX aspect: (Etherdelta, BitShares, OpenLEdger, Bancor Network, DDEX, Waves DEX, etc)
150+ competitors in the cryptocurrency wallet aspect: (Blockchain.info, Exodus, Jaxx, etc). Many of them already have integrated exchange.
In an aspect of the ICO crowdfunding project will compete with KICKICO, and ICO aggregators like Icoholder, etc.
With current team, the project won’t achieve it’s goals and won’t make an impact on the market.

The project advantages:
DEX, ICO crowdfunding platform, and cryptocurrency wallet will be in one app (Cryptocurve);
Interoperable Wanchain blockchain;
Implementation of fast and efficient 0x protocol;
Native coins CURV will be used to bring to its holder's airdrop revenue from ICO campaigns performed on the platform
Will be added support of beneficiaries to make cryptocurrency transactions more user-friendly (but the team does not explore how it will be made);
There will be support of multiple coins and portfolio management;
Integrated DEX;
Possibility to easily convert all funds or specific percent of them into another currency and back with Nuke button (margin sell analogy);
Integrated ICO crowdfunding platform;
The team will back a percentage of tokens every quarter and burns them (percentage not specified).

A project that sees its main goal in popularization of crypto world and making it available for everyone. Since crypto industry is still very young and people apprehend possible risks of investing into ICOs and crypto coins, projects like CryptoCurve are in high demand. The team and hype around the project are pluses. Absence of product is the biggest minus. As many other projects CryptoCurve has a good potential, but needs to accelerate its own product implementation.
A project for newcomers into crypto world and for those who want to simplify own crypto investments.

The project has the following strengths:

• It participates in a significant and fast-growing market (the blockchain industry).
• The project’s partnership with Wanchain and their strategic agreement to become the “Front-End of Wanchain”, will enable both intra-chain and cross-chain transactions.
• A user-friendly interface and “all-in-one” features.

However, there are also a number of risks still associated with this ICO project:

Taking the CryptoCurve idea and comparing it to other wallets that offer different abilities and functionalities, it can be concluded that the MyCryptoCurve Wallet introduces some unique features like the Nuke portal and other convenient functions. If the project could deliver all of the announced functionalities, it could become very popular amongst users. We note that one of the major issue with the wallet is its capability to have a global reach considering the differences in legislation of ICO pooling and Fiat Gateway functions in different countries.

Considering the heated-up competition in each of the market related to the CryptoCurve functionalities, that is to say, a dozens of different crypto wallets (where the market is quite congested), a plenty of ICO hosting platforms (such as KICKICO, etc., and indirect competitors such as ICON, etc.), and a large number of exchanges (as the CryptoCurve aims to to build in 0x, Kyber, or other exchanges by plugging them in as modules into the existing infrastructure), the potential investor should consider the commercial risks related to the project.

Technical description of services is provided in insufficient details, particularly, it is unclear what conversion rate will be used for the exchange module in order to pay the fee for different functionalities of other blockchains, how/by whom the KYC/AML will be performed, etc.

We draw attention to the fact that in the whitepaper there is no information regarding the proceeds allocation scheme, token and project economics, direct competitor analysis, etc. Considering that the start date of the public ICO is set for Q3 2018, it can be concluded that the level of risk for potential investors is considerably higher than usual due to the lack of information on the token and project economics, and on the project development plans.

We note that the team has only a wallet to show in terms of product development so far. While this is better than nothing, an alpha/testnet of the project would be preferable. According to publicly available sources, MVP is expected after the ICO.

The project’s roadmap, does not contain any information regarding plans for marketing and business development, the expected number of users, etc., all of which can increase the level of risk for potential investors.

Team & Advisors – 8/10
Roadmap – 8.5/10
Token Metrics – 8/10
Competitors:
Competitors include Ethos and Bread. However competitors only offer a small portion of all functionalities that CryptoCurve aims to offer.
Verdict:
Positive - for short term flip
Positive - for long term hold
