Or will it just be another April Fool's Day?

2018 is shaping up to be the year that a number of cryptocurrencies advance from being mere concepts to working products. In a few days, a number of notable currencies will be taking the next step forward in development - with AppCoins launching beta applications and Tron and Waltonchain launching their own mainnets.

Tron is most notable as it has been highly publicised and promoted with announcement after announcement to stir up excitement. Up until now, Tronix - the currency of Tron - has been an ERC20 token running on the Ethereum blockchain. The launch of Tron's own mainnet - the test net is scheduled for April 1 - after which the token will run its own blockchain on its own mainnet, scheduled to launch on May 31, independent from Ethereum. The same is true of Waltonchain, also currently an ERC20 coin, as it plans to launch its own mainnet on the same date.

Additionally, AppCoins is launching a beta on the Aptoide platform as an app currency via the Aptoide App store on March 31. Aptoide is a highly popular alternative to Google Play, offering a broader range of apps with less restrictions than the Google Play store.

Of course, delays are not unusual in the realm of cryptocurrency. If any significant bugs are found to be remaining, it may be necessary to hold mainnet launches or the Appcoin beta back.

In the meantime, all three currencies are steadily climbing in value as excitement builds for their respective launches. Any delays or bugs may cause a sudden drop in valuation, so be cautious and avoid losing money in a FOMO situation. Often, currency valuation patterns tend to follow the expression "Buy the rumour, sell the news" seeing higher valuation in anticipation of launches rather than following said launches, as excitement tends to dwindle in the aftermath.
