Crypto Initial Coin Offerings (ICO's) are popping up like mushrooms, fighting for the rankings to increase potential investor trust. Some are well-established, some don't have experience nor guidance to solidify their vision as something worthwhile investing in.

People devised different aspects to rate ICO's such as: maturity of team, viability of project, token metadata, existence of Minimum Viable Product, even the project name, etc. Quantstamp could be incorporated as a new means to increase the perceived value of an ICO.

A lot of ICO's request funds to be deposited with the help of smart contracts with different policies (min/max amount, returns and refunds). Since Quantstamp's goal is to audit smart contracts, it's easy to see how a project that does this simple gesture could benefit from an increase of trustworthiness.

Quantstamp could be used as a "seal of approval" that the smart contract is indeed free of issues, increasing user confidence that the project cares about the quality of the ICO.
