INTRODUCTION
The ICO market (Initial Coin Offerings) has developed rapidly. This new way of raising funds that has emerged over the past few years has beaten a record.
In 2017, many projects have emerged thanks to the ICO who tried to solve a problem or offer services related to blockchain technology. During the crypto bull run, 209 cryptocurrency and tokens are created through the ICO process.
1 . These projects allow the founder to raise nearly 5.6 billion dollars, a record on
2 . time. In 2018, despite the strong decline in the first semester cryptocurrency market, the number of ICOs has skyrocketed like never before. During the first 7 months, the 638 ICO was launched for nearly 17 billion dollars injected into projects by the community blockchain . It's no secret to say that the growth of the ICO has shifted one of the current fundraising mechanisms. Unfortunately, like the other majors of technological breakthroughs at first, ICO has many disadvantages. This causes excesses and abuse to surf in the initial euphoria, lack of security, regulation, transparency and lack of experience of stakeholders, both investors and projects founder.
Many articles and studies have shown high project failure rates and the number of frauds that were not punished rose due to the ICO model. Like all blockchain
fans, at Eqwity we dream of a smartly regulated industry, where justice comes first. But to achieve this goal, the blockchain action of industrial stakeholders must strengthen its foundation.
In the past two years, the ICO has been the cornerstone of the development industry , but much of its abuse does not promote healthy growth, good use of raising funds and, most importantly, complete acceptance by all institutions.
This largely supports the emergence of Security Token Offers (STO), a
new token sales model that will be more compliant, transparent and trustworthy
stakeholders and government. As explained in the Inwara Study, Secuity Tokens
3. Bidding is "Financial security that is issued as a digital asset, which generally represents ownership rights in the underlying company and / or assets. This is clearly different from the ICO above, which is a" utility token "or digital
tokens that provide access to project products / services in the future without real assets or equity interests. " Considering the increasingly strict approach of the regulator to the ICO in 2018, attracting investment through the Security Token Offer is the next logical step for the industry as a whole and determining the direction of its development towards a more organized and transparent market.
The main ICO weakness is solved by this new model (STO), but some benefits have been lost along the way, such as the idea of decentralization or access
services provided by utility tokens. In addition, STO also brings new problems
stakeholders, such as lack of standardization, duration of procedures, lack of interoperability between service providers (publishers, maintainers, law firms,
compliance, exchange ...) or increased costs.
The more blockchain stakeholders are now looking for solutions to make this new appropriate fundraising mechanism easier to implement and more affordable but generally they are very limited or too difficult to implement for large-scale adoption .
Isn't it in the interest of all players to collect, standardize and digitize, all the procedures and services needed to launch STO to support a large adoption? And is it possible to enjoy the benefits of STO without losing the much-needed idea of "Access to Service" on the blockchain platform?
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each proposed project will be divided into various parts based on fields (financial plans, product market conformity, penetration strategies, token economics ...) that must be audited.
Once this is achieved, each part will be sent randomly to the decentralized network of auditors held in the block field (financial auditors, marketing auditors, blockchain auditors, legal auditors ...). To join the network, each new auditor will do it needs to be verified first (identity verification, background checks, skills tests, project audit simulations).
Some auditors in each block field will compete to be one of the first five to be defined as feasible or inappropriate projects in their fields. After this is achieved, the session audit is stopped. But, not every auditor gets a prize from only five winners in each block field.
To participate, every voluntary auditor needs to deposit in advance on the platform
the amount in the EQY token that he wants to get for his audit service (the max value will be determined by the platform to avoid violations and ensure transparency).
After the audit session ends, three other auditors from each block field will be randomly selected to become protection auditors. The role of auditor protection is to verify audit quality (relevance, fraud ...) carried out by five winners.
If the majority of safeguards define their audits as relevant, qualitative and free of fraud; auditors recover their deposits and receive the same value as prizes in BTC or ETH. Safeguard will get a fixed reward previously determined on the platform for this kind of mission.
If the majority of safeguards find fraud or are irrelevant, the auditors concerned will get a black dot, in other words a warning, and their deposit will be frozen and sent to protection as an additional gift. In this case, the project is sent back to the network for the second audit session. It is important to know that after receiving several black spots, an auditor is banned from the network to ensure the highest level of quality in each block field.
Finally, all audited project reports will be publicly available and recorded on
block chain.

MARKET
● A FAST DEVELOPING MARKET ...
After starting controversial about the JR Willet idea in 2012, the first ICO appeared. Many projects that tried this fundraising mechanism financed their work in 2013. Pre-mined ripples 1 billion XRP tokens and sold them to
investors in return for "paper money" or bitcoin. Then came Ethereum, which raised more than 18 million dollars in early 2014. At that time, it was the most important ICO that was ever realized.
However, ICO became really popular only a few years later, thanks to the flash of growth in the blockchain industry. According to a study released by
PricewaterhouseCoopers & Crypto Valley Association, supposedly 552 ICOs were held in 2017. Reports published by Fabric Ventures and TokenData were more than that simple, announcing a 5.6 billion dollar increase in 2017.
