Introduction: Investor Vulnerability In CryptoSpace

Blockchain technology is rapidly finding applications in virtually every area of human lives. In 2017 alone, more than a thousand new ICOs were launched for blockchain projects, and it didn't require up to halfway into this year for those numbers to be exceeded .
As a result of this rapid growth, fraudsters began to infiltrate, trying to key into the cash flow in the industry .The problem is, these fraudsters are quite difficult to identify. They come in form of every other ICO, with an appealing name,claiming to solve a problem, a whitepaper, a website, a team of developers and advisors etc. What they basically aim for is to siphon money during initial coin offerings by trading their tokens to investors for already renowned cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies . These investors believe in the success of these projects and proceed to fund them with their money,while hoping to cash-in on these tokens when the projects actualise their vision. This is not to be however as those behind such projects simply make money by trading their coins and then disappear/abandon these projects after initial coin offerings, leaving investors with worthless and useless tokens.

In this article, we shall take an extensive look at Vertex and how they aim to eliminate investor's vulnerability by handling investment vetting processes.

The Vertex Solution

Vertex is an "ICO aftermarket platform" that evaluates tokens for investors, allowing them to only participate in ICOs with very high chances of success and low risks. This goes a long way in tackling issues of redundancy and presence of visionless ICOs overtaking the cryptosphere . Vertex also gives a chance to less experienced investors with very little knowledge of market situations to invest money in tokens which they themselves invest in,ensuring a highly reliable and efficient vetting system.
To ensure growth of not just vetted ICOs but also their own platform, the ecosystem is designed in such a way that users must possess vertex tokens in order to purchase those vetted .

THE VETTING PROCESS

Vertex makes use of the wealth of experience of analysts and private equity investors who have overtime developed their own methods of vetting . By fusing various methods of experienced investors, the vetting process usually yields two categories of ICOs which are : those that have merits and require only a small fraction in investments and those that have prospects of transforming . The latter user requires larger investments to reap maximum profits . While vertex usually buys tokens of ICOs in both categories, it is necessary to be able to differentiate so as to enable proper allocation of investments .

Benefits of Vertex

Vertex has its benefits to virtually every player in the crypto world, from investors, to ICOs, to even the ordinary crypto enthusiasts. In doubt ? Let's see !
