Greetings from the TokenClub team!

The end of the month is the most exciting time for us here at TokenClub, because we get to share with you all the great tokens that you’ll be receiving in your baskets.

November has been great. Our community is growing, and we’re continuing to add features that make life easier for you. One hotly requested feature we just added was the ability to change your subscription amount from your My Account section.

New to TokenClub? You might want to read “Introducing TokenClub — your ‘monthly subscription box’ for ICO tokens” first.

We’ve also introduced TokenClub Holiday Bundles and eGift Cards, sure to please the crypto maniac on your list. You can purchase them in our Shop, or read more about them here.

As you know, it’s our mission to develop the best token subscription service on the planet, and we greatly value your business, support and feedback. We couldn’t do this without you.

Now, let’s get on to the tokens! It’s my distinct pleasure to announce your November token selection from TokenClub.

The Tokens

Datum (DAT)

Datum is a decentralized ecosystem to store and exchange structured data. Their mission is to give you back control of your personal data, while making it available in a secure fashion to other entities.

Datum’s design includes a mining mechanic which incentivizes Storage Nodes to provide data security and availability. There’s also a Marketplace where you can share your data selectively or even sell it to trusted entities.

Datum appears to have a well-rounded, experienced team. Notable advisors include the the Managing Director of MySQL Asia, creator of Wired Magazine, as well as the ex-CFO of TenX, who boasts a resume including Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley.

Somehow they also have an endorsement video from William Shatner on their web site (which did not play a part in our selection of this token, we swear).

This is an idea who’s time has come (flipping the personal data control model on it’s head), and Datum is one of the first blockchain projects to take a big swing at it.

Bloom (BLT)

Every month we like to highlight a flagship token, one which we feel has the most potential or is the strongest or most potentially transformative project. This month, we’re thrilled to be including Bloom.

Bloom is a decentralized credit scoring system powered by Ethereum. Think — a decentralized Equifax with blockchain-level encryption.

Following on the theme of security and control over personal data, the world is hungry for a replacement for legacy credit bureaus, and Bloom could just be the one to provide it.

Among the problems with legacy credit ratings they’re tackling are:

High risk of identity theft — Borrowers must expose all of their personal information when applying for a loan — the same info an attacker can use to open new lines of credit.

Cross-border credit scoring — Credit histories are not portable across countries, forcing individuals to re-establish their credit track records from scratch when they relocate.

Credit-worthiness assessment — Most credit systems rely almost entirely on historical debt repayment information and therefore cannot easily accommodate users who are new to credit.

They recently added the former Chief Scientist for Experian to their advisory team. They even have plans to offer their own payment/credit card built on the Bloom system.

We think the world is hungry for a consumer credit data revolution like what Bloom is aiming to provide. We wish them the best!

Leverj (LEV)

Leverj is a decentralized, leveraged trading platform. Leverj has support from ConsenSys and promises decentralized identity, leveraged trading with advanced position management, and automated trade management with near-insant settlement.

Leverj recognizes that although centralized exchanges are very responsive, they’re highly vulnerable to centralized risk. This project is aiming to find a middle ground between the security and trustlessness of decentralization, and speed-critical functions like order matching. They claim they will offer top cryptocurrencies, commodities, and futures trading, along with major world indices.

The founding team appears strong — The CEO is a 10 year veteran of Wall Street, while the CTO is a full-stack developer with 10 years of forex trading experience behind him. Leverj is connected, resourced, and we’re looking forward to seeing how it continues to develop.

Cashaa (CAS)

Cashaa is a bit of a wildcard in this month’s basket. Cashaa’s working on the “next generation banking platform for the next billion”. Two of the most interesting things about them are the size of the market opportunity, and the fact they’ve been steadily chugging away on their product for quite some time now already, actually putting beta versions in market. They have a proven product for remittances between England and India, as well as Nigeria and Indonesia. They also have a digital wallet and act as an cryptocurrency exchange.

Cashaa is headquartered in London, with their tech team in Mumbai. If they can put out a great product and make ground in market share this will be a project to watch — they are a clear rival to Ethereum/SEA darling OmiseGO. We think there is room in this space for multiple players, and especially considering the heat and success of OMG, we don’t think Cashaa is a project to miss out on.

GRID+ (GRID)

Grid+’s goal is to disrupt electrical utilities through automation, blockchain, and a next-generation energy trading marketplace. They aim to become an electrical utility themselves as well as licensing their technology to existing utilities, with the goal of significantly bringing down the retail price of electricity. Among other innovations, they’re automating the process of billing and settlement, which they claim will bring down retail electricity prices by 38% in Texas alone.

Their Smart Agent, which is at the core of Grid+ technology, is internet enabled proprietary hardware, which users will have to buy to participate in the Grid+ ecosystem. The Smart Agent reads your household meter directly, and purchases energy from the marketplace on the blockchain. The blockchain transactions happen automatically, so the user doesn’t need to know anything about how blockchain works in order to use it.

Grid+ is a ConsenSys project, and as such is closely connected to the rest of the blockchain world and counts ConsenSys and Ethereum cofounder Joseph Lubin among it’s advisors.

Tokenbox (TBX)

Tokenbox bills itself as a “unique ecosystem for crypto-investors, traders and funds”. The platform is a toolkit to

Create and manage crypto funds, legally and securely, and

Invest in crypto and fund assets, all in one place.

Demand for crypto trading and investing is at an all-time high and growing. The Tokenbox roadmap is ambitious. One of the Managing Partners is a former executive of Mail.Ru. If they can deliver on their vision they will have a very intriguing platform on their hands.

Wax (WAX)

WAX (Worldwide Asset eXchange) is another entrant to the in-game currency and virtual item marketplace sector. Similarly to EnjinCoin from October’s TokenClub basket, WAX is a decentralized platform that enables anyone to operate a fully functioning virtual marketplace with zero investment in security, infrastructure, or payment processing. Developed by the founders of OPSkins, the world’s leading marketplace for online video game assets, WAX is designed to serve the 400+ million online players who already collect, buy and sell items. With the inclusion of WAX’s simple exchange widget, gamers will have access to a worldwide market, with blockchain trust and transaction verification.

As the largest company in the $50 billion gaming skins market, OPSkins has real experience to bring to the table. They know their customers and they know the business of virtual items. Advisors include the creator of blockbuster first-person shooter Call of Duty and they also carry an impressive list of partners.

Jibrel Network (JNT)

Jibrel Network is a very interesting project. It’s an asset tokenization platform — aiming to provide traditional financial assets, such as currencies, bonds and equities, as standard ERC-20 tokens. This is something a number of companies are working on, and the appeal is obvious.

But one of the things that really attracts us about this project is they already have a very promising wallet already in alpha, called jWallet. The team seems to have a very solid handle on UX and design. Imagine MyEtherWallet redesigned by Jony Ive.

It’s compatible out of the box with Ethereum itself and all ERC-20 compatible tokens. If they build the Jibrel Network itself like they’re building the jWallet, this project will be one to watch.

ETHLend (LEND)

ETHLend, as the name suggests, is fully decentralized, peer-to-peer lending on the Ethereum blockchain. Joining projects such as SALT Lending, ETHLend is following the insight that if cryptocurrencies become a significant or dominant part of the global financial platform, credit and lending will be in demand just as they are in traditional fiat-based economies.

There’s something powerful about the idea of using blockchain technology and automation to provide the functions of loan management that would be traditionally performed by banks, in a disruptive, decentralized manner that gives individuals the power to earn returns on their own capital.

ETHLend has a live Dapp already in production, and strategic partners including Eidoo Wallet, Digix, and Bloom.
