Liquidity.Network ICO

16-Apr. Alexey: Liquidity Network is an interesting project, we started to research it but we do not have a final verdict on it.
30-May. Sergey: KYC is very complicated. Pre-sale was successful, we will watch the project. Link

- MVP is up and running. Customers tasted it and its functional. 
- Academic core team with background and current affiliation with ETH Zurich. Liquidity.Network will also be an extension of Co-founder, Rami Khalil's project REVIVE, a decentralized protocol for payment channels without on-chain transactions.
- At the Conclusion of the ICO Pre-sale partnerships with 4 Venture Capital companies were announced. It appears established investment firms have concluded that Liquidity.Network is a project worth initial investment. 
- Whitelist is open and they are trying to raise 27 mil$ through Dutch Auction . 5mil$ was already raised in presale.

Summary

Liquidity.Network has an intuitive, if not original, method of scaling the blockchain. Although there have been other companies that have described an off-chain method of reducing transaction costs and speed, Liquidity.Network is the first to put it into action. They have already designed a prototype for use on the Ethereum network, and if it is successful, then they are ready to deploy versions for other popular blockchain networks as well.

Positives
Actively seeking solutions to solve blockchain’s scalability issue
Although the prototype is ready for Ethereum only, in the future Bitcoin, NEO, and others could potentially implement Liquidity.Network
They should have a fully-working product by the end of 2018
Negatives
Network is not the first ICO to introduce off-chain transactions

Liquidity.Network is a proposed solution to the scaling problem faced by today’s blockchains. Off-chain payment channels have long been proposed as a scaling solution. However, today’s off-chain payment channels suffer from problems like routing complexity. Liquidity.Network solves these problems with simple routing designs. The solution avoids locked funds and other off-chain payment channel problems.

Overall, Liquidity.Network’s prototype is ready for implementation in Ethereum Classic. Other possible blockchains for the Liquidity Network include bitcoin, Dfinity, NEO, Nimiq, and Lisk.
