It’s been a while since we have published updates on our prestigious #investinFuture initiative. As you know, #investinFuture program was initiated in order to find high potential and undervalued projects from a crowded market of thousands of coins. The basic idea is to put your faith, money into the coins, your trust in the future and letting them flourish as the crypto market and community grows.

So far, we have 22 amazing, high-potential projects in our #investinFuture list which you can see here. This list encompasses some of the strongest and most resilient projects in the entire crypto market. Too much effort goes into finding these projects before anyone else does, and we are proud of our selection framework (which by the way, consists of 140+ formula coded metrics) which allows us to select among those amazing findings.

Continuing this tradition, we present to you not one, not two but three new #investinFuture additions. So, tighten your seatbelts while we take you to the future.

1. Insights Network (INSTAR)

Data mined from web and mobile app sources generates billions of dollars for data brokers like Acxiom and Cambridge Analytica. That information is used to generate detailed insights into consumer behavior. An ever-increasing number of businesses rely on data brokers to access critical insights on consumer behavior. However, consumers who generate the data are not benefiting from the industry. In some cases, the user-generated data stored centrally by the major players in the industry is stolen by hackers. This compromises consumers’ privacy rights. We all remember the infamous Facebook — Cambridge Analytica Data Scandal that completely destroyed our trust in centralized entities (We never trusted them anyways 😜.) So, to prevent such disaster in the future, Insights Network is here to save the future.

The Insights Network was established with the aim to provide individuals a secure infrastructure for monetizing their own data. The idea, basically, is to cut out the middle man and let users serve as their own data brokers. The network allows individuals to manage and monetize their data through the use of secure multiparty computation, blockchain solutions, and smart contracts.

The Insights Network platform is built on EOS, which enables rapid processing of transactions. The platform is set to become the first network to deploy secure multiparty computation for commercial use.

Now avoiding all techno-babble and jargons, Simply the Insights Network allows regular Internet users to monetize their web use data anonymously and securely, and it allows data buyers to request and purchase specific data sets, paying users directly in micropayments of blockchain tokens in return for instant data access rather than paying a giant lump sum to a data broker and then waiting for the data to be collated and sent. As it all happens through a decentralized blockchain, it’s entirely trustless, so there’s no risk of either side running out on a deal.

What we liked the most is their amazing team! The project is bolstered by an impressive team that includes a co-founder trifecta with experience growing a Y-Combinator-incubated startup, lead developers with degrees from schools like MIT and Stanford, and a knowledgeable and experienced lineup of advisors.

Insights Network is available on IDEX, Bancor Network and Gate.io.

Verdict: Worthy to be the next #investinFuture project.

2. Republic Protocol (REN)

In November 2017, BTC and ETH trades went over the $181 billion mark. But, that was without considering OTC trades executed on private platforms. This information coupled with announcements that the Bitcoin futures markets, was established by NASDAQ and CME Group, signals institutional investors are ready for crypto. In addition to that, lots of crypto startups are looking to attract big organizations, and these organizations control sizable amounts of money, meaning bigger transactions.

With the potential of huge amounts of resources into crypto, there needs to be infrastructure that can support it. To solve this problem, Republic Protocol created a decentralized dark pool for cryptocurrency trading. The platform essentially enables the creation of a trustless trading for larger block order, which enables Bitcoin, ethereum, and ERC20 pairs to be executed while keeping price slippage to a minimum. Besides that, users will be protected from front-running.

In essence, a dark pool is a private exchange where financial assets and instruments are matched and traded on a secret order book. These dark pools mainly serve institutions. They are quite useful where large volumes of trade are needed. It is estimated that dark pools represent 15% of all trading volumes of US stocks. When extrapolated to ETH and BTC, it has the potential to be worth about $27.2 billion a month. On the Republican protocol, you will be able to trade ETH, BTC, and ERC20 tokens.

Republic Network is available on OKEx, Liqui and IDEX.

Verdict: Loved the much needed concept. Worthy to be the next #investinFuture project.

Honourable Mention

3. Holo (HOT)

We are geeks. We love tech and sci-fi TV shows & movies as much as the tech itself. Our favorite HBO’s show Silicon Valley has a storyline in which the protagonist pivots to create a new Internet the uses peer-to-peer network built on top of people’s smartphones. This idea essentially cuts out the need for servers in huge data centers for cloud computing. Now technologies emerging from blockchain are turning the fiction into reality.

Startups like Holochain are trying to disrupt the cloud computing industry to capitalize on under-utilized consumer computer capacity, replacing remote servers altogether. Holochain helps people own their own data, Control their own identity, Connect applications to suit their needs, transact without centralized systems while building a lighter, faster, cheaper application.

But you might be thinking “Oh come on, almost every new projects coming now-a-days claims to do the same thing. What’s new about this?”.

Have patience PADAWAN 😄.

This is not something like the those self-proclaimed Ethereum killers with millions in TPS. No sir. This is something entirely new, and it isn’t a blockchain, this is a new kind of decentralized beast.

HOLO launched few days agao and it completely crashed the whole IDEX, which they still are recovering from.

For those baffled and wondering why Holochain broke IDEX and Why we love it so much, it’s because it’s giving a market — that’s been starved of good ICOs — what it’s wanted for a long time. It’s not rocket science.

New architecture that gets us beyond blockchain tech’s serious limitations. Serious team that’s worked on peer to peer tech since before bitcoin was even created (so they can see and look past blockchain’s limitations more objectively). ICO went smoothly and was structured to prevent whale games and chaos. Started with a low approx $27M market cap vs ridiculous $2bn plus valuation for “competitor” Dfinity and other ridiculous money grabs Kin and Telegram’s TON that will offer very little return (much easier to 10x from $27m than $2bn). No whale domination (just look at the average contributions on etherscan). No sweetheart deal presale or private sale so there wont be any market megadumps from groups who got big discounts. There’ll be no Polychain or Andreesen Horowitz VC type dumpers here. Alpha or Beta that’s already out there. This is not a whitepaper project with a roadmap that extends past 2050. (coughs…TRON…coughs.) Public crowdsale community has 75% of coins to team’s 25% (below average team allocation these days) compared to Dfinity’s ridiculous 50%+ to team and early discount buyers. No marketing hype. No massive buzz or Telegram megaherd. STILL under the radar for most of the people. First apps already developed (including a decentralized twitter). Major (and exclusive) backing from Mozilla top exec. Mozilla is the maker of top browser Firefox and top email client Thunderbird. Code is open source. Team is one of the most transparent we’ve ever seen. They already have user friendly plug and play hardware to become a node/host on their network. This thing is already built! Check it our here. 2 ETH founding investors in Ethereum commited $1 million each (Proof: etherscan links showing funds came from ETH genesis addresses are all over twitter now). Why would two founding Ethereum investors do that?

HOLO is available on HotBit, Radar Relay and IDEX.

Services and dApps in development or been developed till now.

The market gets it. This is a nobrainer. HOT is the most appropriately named ticker symbol you’ve ever seen in this space.

This concludes the #17th edition of #investinFuture recommendation update. Don’t forget our golden rules of investment (in #investinFuture doc). Enjoy the future.
