The current version is a first draft and further research will be done on the topic. If you have any feedback and suggestions, please contact us.
Abstract:
Blockchain technology companies have utilized Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) to raise early stage venture capital from investors around the globe while simultaneously building a strong community around the project. The coins created can be programmed in a variety of use cases and could represent equity, debt or a form of service.
