“For me, it is a kind of investment — accepting to advise an ICO means investing my time, my energy, my network, my trust and my reputation in the project. I take my advisory roles very seriously. I want to contribute, make real impact and add value. DarcMatter gives me the confidence that this is the project that I wish to invest in myself and I can add value to make it successful.

I have been in contact with Sang Lee — the CEO and Co-Founder of DarcMatter for some time before we agreed to an advisory agreement. DarcMatter has a solid team who is well-experienced and possesses strong industry knowledge to deeply understand the industry pain points and provide execution capabilities.

DarcMatter is a growing company whose solution to the alternative investment field has been recognized by the industry with more than 150 funds and 1,300 institutions and investors worldwide utilizing the platform. Upgrading into blockchain is a sensible step to scale the project on a worldwide basis, while adding extra value to current and future users.

Additionally, DarcMatter’s decision to choose NEM as their blockchain platform is a thoughtful choice. NEM blockchain (NEM Official) has the functions that support a robust financial use case such as that of DarcMatter where hybrid nature of the chain allows for various level of assess to data, which is essential within the financial services industry. On top of that, the ability to modify the information easily on NEM is an advantage considering the amount of (changing) regulations you have to comply with within this industry.

The use of proof of importance is environmentally friendly and thus sustainable. DarcMatter takes a long-term approach towards their project, which you can clearly see based on their choice of which blockchain to use.

I believe DarcMatter is a great project which I am excited to be a part of, and I look forward to providing my contributions as an advisor.”
