5 Token Launch Platforms to Consider

Published

on

TOKEN LAUNCH

Token Launch platforms take away all the pain of designing tokens and developing smart contracts for ICOs. Thanks to the rise of UI/UX developers, you can create an ICO by simply choosing from drop-down menus. All of the token launch platforms reviewed below boast that you do not need to know to code to conduct your ICO.

This level of client-centricity is a welcome change in the ICO development phase which earlier stalled projects due to contract development issues. With time, that token launch platforms will begin to provide the level of customization expected by ICOs. The Blockchain space evolves rapidly and the route to success is paved with the number of your successful clients.

Review Metrics

I reviewed 5 token launch platforms and rated them according to the following metrics:

  1. UI/UX — 10 points
  2. Features — 10 points
  3. KYC integration — 10 points
  4. Pricing — 10 points

Without further ado, let’s see how the top token launch platforms fared.

#5 Polymath

Arguably the grand-daddy of token launch platforms, Polymath specializes in security tokens. While ICOs vs STOs is a debate for another article, I sit firmly on the fence, for now. The Polymath platform requires you to conduct all your transactions in POLY tokens (1 POLY = 0.0012 ETH at the time of writing). Their demand of 250 POLY to register the name on the Blockchain for 60 days was an instant downer. While I understand the costs involved, it still is a barrier that impedes reviewers such as myself.

After paying 250 POLY, I proceeded further and it was a breeze from here on. One feature that might be a roadblock down the line is their limitation to develop only ST20 tokens. The UI/UX is fairly simple and self-explanatory so kudos to that. The KYC integration is managed on the backend via specialized KYC providers which is a really great feature. The pricing structure is on the higher side which is mostly the norm for security token offerings.

Score:

UI/UX – 7

Features – 7

KYC Integration – 9

Pricing – 2

Total Score – 25

#4 Token Launcher

This platform is a hybrid model that enables quick customizations with the help of their development personnel. The only way to review them is by requesting a demo. The feature set is vast due to their unique feature of plug and play modules.

Token Launcher has a distinctive dashboard that presents information relevant to the person logged in. Therefore, the admin and the users are shown different screens. The platform has developed plug and play modules that add features such as support for different blockchains, token standards, and KYC automation.

The UI/UX has a distinct made-by-coders feel to it and needs a bit of a learning curve. The CRM integration is a nice addition and the pricing is the most attractive among all competitors.

Score:

UI/UX – 5

Features – 9

KYC Integration – 6

Pricing – 9

Total Score – 29

#3 Mycontract

Taking development to the extreme, XinFin has developed a hybrid blockchain – XDC to create dApps and ICOs for their clients. This frees them from the limitations of other token standards and unpredictable gas charges. This, however, comes with a rider – you must use their native tokens to develop your ICO. My Contract integrates with the Bancor protocol to accept over 100 cryptocurrencies. 

According to their demo (which you need to login to access), the platform allows you to create ERC20, ERC223, ERC721 compliant-tokens and allows for integration with several third-party modules. The pricing is structured attractively with complete transparency.

Score:

UI/UX – 5

Features – 9

KYC Integration – 7

Pricing – 7

Total Score – 28

#2 Token Get

With over 50 ICOs under its belt, Token Get has proved to be a commendable product time and again. It checks off all the requirements an ICO/STO might have with even SAFT  generation baked in. Their key strength is their marketing module which automates several activities such as airdrop management.

All these bells and whistles demand a premium therefore, it is priced on the higher side. That being said, the plethora of features make up for it.

Score:

UI/UX – 8

Features – 9

KYC Integration – 8

Pricing – 6

Total Score – 31

#1 Token Asia Platform

Easily the most user-friendly UI of all, Token Asia Platform is packed full of features. The team clearly spent time designing a platform that even the layperson could use so to speak. Kudos to the UI/UX team behind this.

It boasts multi-blockchain support, multi-currency acceptance, simplified token development, robust implementation tools, and user-friendly KYC module.

Priced reasonably, Token Asia Platform is an excellent choice for showing launching your token and showing your investors the process of doing so.

Score:

UI/UX – 10

Features – 9

KYC Integration – 8

Pricing – 7

Total Score – 34

Conclusion

Despite no clear regulatory pathways, token launcher platforms did a commendable job in finding the middle paths to simplify further the experience of conducting ICOs/STOs. Once the clouds clear on that front, we can expect to see further innovations and developments in this space with the arrival of new contenders that could unseat the current cream of the crop.

XNO Token of Xeno NFT Hub listed on Bithumb Korea Exchange

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
