Over the past 10–12 years there has been a huge evolution in the way society welcomes new ideas and new projects. Crowdfunding has emerged as one of the major financing systems for new enterprises and since the rise of cryptocurrencies, the famed ICOs — Initial Coin Offerings have helped to establish a new way to obtain funds.

A few years have passed by, but both these systems still show a lot of weaknesses and inherent problems that cross in the way of people trying to setup their enterprise.

Crowdfunding still heavily relies on centralized platforms that lack the transparency and usually have high fees, lacking the power to grab a larger audience.

The famed ICOs are loosing investors interest and the failure rate has reached new highs. The majority of the teams are non-professional and unprepared, the scam percentage is huge, there are ICO advisors popping out everywhere and asking for high fees to do almost nothing… all these together almost brought the market to it’s knees.

This is where Ichiba comes in, supplying the way to efficiently and safely raise money for legit fundraising campaigns. Ichiba is creating a new way to bond blockchain technology with the crowdfunding machine, creating a marketplace serving investors and fundraisers, connecting them and eliminating the bumps on the road.

If we think about this, Ichiba is bringing together the $7 billion ICO market and the $20 billion crowdfunding market, creating a global market for fundraising of new innovative enterprises. They will be using smart contract technology to power their blockchain based platform and to crete a global market for efficient and safe fundraising campaigns. This will bring the trust of both investors and entrepreneurs to the next level and allow these new ideas and these new leaders to thrive.

There is undoubtedly a huge market in need for this service. Sadly, at this point in time, innovation is being stopped by the lack of a platform that is able to effectively connect the masses with the entrepreneurs, and at the same time bring trust to their relation. At Ichiba, every project is deeply screened before going live and the company will be retaining a small stake on every project, ensuring that they’ll be one of the interested parties betting on the success of each project. They will also be giving the coin holders the power to contribute for the governance of the projects.

Cryptocurrencies have definitely turned the world larger, and the small ideas wider, but they still present huge problems in safety and security, Ichiba is using the power of crypto to widen the fundraising capabilities and power their platform and network, while maintaining a serious approach to these issues.

To power the platform, the technology and the network, they have created the Ichiba Coin (ICA), which is a PoS/Masternode coin.

ICA has several utility roles on the ecosystem, allowing it to work smoothly and safely. On the platform ICA is awarded to supporters that fund projects and used by fundraisers to achieve their goals. On the network, it is used on masternodes on a PoS system, giving Ichiba network the safety and efficiency needed to run the Ichiba platform.

Their coin data looks like this:

Ticker: ICA

Type: Masternode/PoS

Total supply: 100,000,000 ICA

Masternode Collateral: 5000 ICA

Important to note that according to the roadmap, we can expect the alpha version of their platform on Q2–2019 and the beta release no later than Q3, launching their first ICO on late Q3 and achieving the public launch of the platform on Q4–2019…. up until now everything seems to be on track to take the ICO/crowdfunding market on a different brighter road, and finally allowing it to gather enough trust and reach to change the world further.
