ICOs are a hot commodity right now, which makes it quite the challenge to locate truly innovative projects that are worthy of contribution. This is particularly true when taking into consideration that crypto thefts have tripled in the past 6 months.

Despite the hurdles, ICOs haven’t lost their attraction and the industry presses forth; albeit with a new higher dose of caution and skepticism.

In an effort to uncover some potential diamonds in the ICO rough, BOOSTO has sussed out what appear to be five incredible coin offerings slated to take place this summer.

Be sure to conduct your own research before investing in any ICO. Many have been burned in the past for failing to fulfill their due diligence and we would hate for you to fall into that category.

All the ICOs listed here appear to be legitimately innovative organizations that seek to push the decentralization movement forward in epic ways.

If you are ready to see what this summer has in store for ICOs, look no further.

Here are five ICOs to watch this summer.

#1: One Ledger

Up to this point, business adoption of the blockchain has been relatively slow. This is because moving daily operations onto the blockchain would be a disruptive and time-consuming venture. This is the exact reason many marketing firms and influencer agencies have yet to take the leap.

One Ledger seeks to bridge the disruption gap, make the transition as smooth as possible, and resolve the issue altogether.

One Ledger aims to produce a scalable and universal cross-ledger protocol that enables organizations to seamlessly transition their business affairs from legacy systems to the blockchain.

With One Ledger, businesses and individuals alike will be empowered to produce their own public or private blockchains within their own networks as a means to generate and monitor a community-controlled digital system.

Additionally, One Ledger provides various permission capabilities to enable individuals within an organization control of the digital hierarchy.

While the company has yet to officially declare the dates for the ICO, rumors place the event kickoff within the next two months.

#2: Qravity

Similar to the way that BOOSTO is empowering influencers to take control of their creative pursuits through its tokenized dApp ecosystem, the Qravity platform seeks to create an environment in which creatives can collaborate on content offerings while still monetizing their products.

Through the transparency of the blockchain, creators will unquestionably own their creations (which include, but are not limited to writings, music, videos, art, and other conceptual works) and can sell their offerings directly through the platform.

Qravity focuses its platform on collaborations and utilizes a fair distribution revenue model, based on value added. Each time a piece is sold, smart contracts carry out distribution duties in the proper percentages.

The Qravity presale begins on July 28th (which gives participants up to a 30% bonus) while the first round is slated to start on August 12th. There will be several additional rounds afterward, though the bonuses continue to drop the longer you wait.

#3: Akropolis

Akropolis aims to disrupt pension funds with bold ambitions. The company’s mission is to:

“. . . solve the world’s pension deficit problem while rising to become the, largest alternative pensions infrastructure in the world.”

Part of the reason the company is going after pensions is detailed on Akropolis’ website:

“48% of the retirement aged population do not receive a pension, and the retirement savings gap globally will grow from $70 trillion in 2015 to $400 trillion by 2050.”

Pension funds currently manage tremendous amounts of money, effectively producing vulnerable, centralized behemoth structures. Akropolis points out the flaw and dangers that stem from the current pension system.

As a result, the startup aims to produce a transparent pension infrastructure based on smart contract systems to empower users to fully monitor and govern what happens with their funds. Naturally, as blockchain systems tend to do, this eliminates all third-party involvement, along with their inefficient practices.

The official presale for Akropolos has already ended. However, the public sale is still open via waitlist. The date for the public sale has yet to be announced but should take place later this year.

#4: ImmVRse

The ImmVRse team has been hard at work creating a decentralized, blockchain-based platform for sharing VR content that has already garnered a ton of media attention.

ImmVRse seeks to connect content brands, content creators, and marketers to jointly produce stellar VR content.

ImmVRse will carry out its transactions through a smart contract system, however, the real star of its inner-workings is the company’s intelligent cloud and file distribution system that generates a decentralized storage network that enables ImmVRse to manifest a self-sustaining system.

ImmVRse’s IMV token is based on the ERC-20 protocol ad will enable content and service payments as well as platform governance.

The company’s ICO began on July 7th and features a 20% bonus for the first 24 hours.

#5: Arround

Something of a counterpart to ImmVRse, Arround is slated to be the world’s first decentralized AR advertising solution.

While AR and VR both have had adoption struggles over the past couple of years, most experts still agree that augmented reality will still give rise to a significant marketplace within the next five to ten years.

Arround will provide adopters with stunning, customized virtual environments where they are effectively connected to marketers, advertisers, and AR developers, without interference from intermediaries.

The platform is aimed at smartphone devices as the catalyst for mainstream AR adoption and through these portables, users will be empowered to interact with AR-enhanced applications and communications.

Arround’s ICO will begin on September 15th and run through November 15th.

These 5 ICOs all present exciting possibilities in the world of blockchain decentralization. Anyone of them could be the next major ICO success, and mainstay in the blockchain community.
