The Descrow ICO is sucessfully closed

This is a submitted sponsored story.

Greetings to our friends and supporters!

The Descrow ICO is closed.

Our team is grateful to those of you, who have been with us during these last months, your trust and support helped us to build a unique and innovative instrument for secure ICO investments, which will be accessible for everyone in a full-fledged mode in a short time from now.

And now we would like to sum up the results of our ICO campaign:

Altogether, we have collected 3531,1 ETH

Total number of realised tokens: 5 138 471,63 DES

Taking into account those tokens, which were designated for the team, advisory board and bounty-campaign the project has released 6 851 295,50 of DES tokens.

The distribution of the tokens:

75%— 5 138 471,63 — DES community

15%— 1 027 694,33 — DES team

7%— 479 590,69 — DES advisors

3%— 205 538,87 — bounty campaign

We’d like to remind you, that the tokens reserved for the team members, advisors and bounty campaign participants will stay freezed for one more month from the ICO closure date.

The total number of investors, who took part in our ICO amounts to 1659.

Along with that, during the last months 829 new members joined our chat, our Telegram channel enlisted 1438 new members and more than 1000 of our supporters took part in our bounty campaign.

Note on bounty campaign:

We fully realize, that any project relies on its community. We are grateful to every participant of our bounty campaign, who helped us to share the information on our project with the rest of cryptocommunity. Keeping in mind, that the number of the participants of our bounty-campaign exceeds the number which we expected, we made a decision to extend the amount of tokens, designated for bounty campaign members two-fold, at the expense of the tokens, which were reserved for the team. Taking into account the mentioned decision, the distribution of the tokens will be performed in the following way:

75%?— community

12%?— team

7%?— advisors

6%?— bounty campaign (including 3% added from the team’s funds)

In the course of the ICO campaign we have encountered a number of unexpected challenges and criticism, which we took into the consideration and included into the final version of the technical specification of our platform. We are happy to announce, that the platform is almost ready for use, at the current moment it is undergoing the process of the web-composition.

The pilot testing of the platform is planned for February, with a significant timing advance to our roadmap.

The Descrow community is concerned about the process of listing of our tokens DES on the cryptoexchanges. So, we would like to clarify our position on this matter:

1. Our tokensale was executed with a goal of creation of an innovative instrument for secure ICO investing, and not simply gaining the profit from selling the tokens on the exchanges, once they are accessible. At the same time, holders of DES tokens have the opportunity to participate in the activities of the Platform and to receive the benefits associated with this (discounts on platform services, participation in lotteries) as our common project develops.
2. During the ICO campaign we deliberately have not listed our token on any of the the exchanges for a reason, which is related to the latest announcement of USA SEC, which defines a nature of a token in a new, unprecedented way. This document has already caused some extra limitations for some ICO projects.
3. In the course of the Descrow ICO we have sold an insufficient number of tokens to be listed on one of the major exchanges, which have a number of requirements, regarding the number of the tokens in circulation. As most of you are aware, many exchanges, especially a large ones, require a substantial number of funds to accept the listing application. In a number of cases, the total amount of required funds may be equal to 50 BTC or a little bit less.
4. The total number of the funds raised during our campaign, unfortunately, appeared to be lower, than we expected. As a result, we’ll have to revise the choice of the exchanges for listing. With a current amount of the funds raised we prefer to consider our options first, as we want to ensure that the project will be launched in a proper way. However, as the Descrow project develops, we will have more opportunities for listing DES tokens on various exchanges.

Based on the facts mentioned, we’d like to ask you to keep patient and take notice on our position.

We appreciate your trust and we want to ensure that we trust our community as well, who, we believe, supported our project because of the understanding of the long-term value of our platform for the future crowdfunding market, not simply willing to gain short-term profits from selling tokens once the ICO is over.

Stay with us, follow the news, the great times are ahead!

Sincerely yours, Descrow team.
