This year marked the birth of a rating platform and a blockchain community called ICObench. From the very beginning, it declared total transparency and sincere desire to unite people related to “crypto” as well as create a big picture of the community built around ICOs, crypto assets and experts from various industries. Over the past 4 months, we have developed numerous features and published over 1400 ICO profiles. All this wouldn’t be possible without your contribution to ICObench community and your constant feedback. We highly appreciate your help all along the way: for experts, it is expressed in their weight distribution, for the ICO teams — in a better ICO profile rating if they help us update their profiles, and for the investors, we provide the most detailed ICO profiles and reviews to help their decision.

In the following roadmap you can track ICObench’s way starting August 2, 2017, when the site first went up:
