Zichain – Pioneering Crypto Finance

https://zichain.io
Hello dear friends and subscribers of my Golos blog. This article prepared for you about Zichain.
The digital economy is developing at a rapid pace, but it is too early to measure the forces with the traditional financial market. This is due to the fact that for most investors the digital economy, in particular, cryptocurrencies - a dark forest. Difficult, uncomfortable, too unpredictable.

Perhaps, if a platform appeared on the market, offering a lot of useful tools and comprehensive analytics, the situation would radically change.
Zichain was registered in Zurich (Switzerland) in 2017. Developers call their offspring "a platform for managing digital assets." They connect the need for it with the growing interest of the audience in the "crypt" and support it with statistics: the market volume is now $ 287 billion, of which funds under management are $ 62 billion. The Zichain team visited all major industrial events lately: the Seoul World Blockchain Summit , Blockchain Expo in London, Coin Agenda in Singapore, European BlockShow.

And at the end of June, the developers will arrive at the Shanghai Mobile World Congress.
This shows Zichain's openness to communication - she is trying to get investors not only through the Internet, but also live, which inspires confidence.

Zichain is aimed at institutional investors (legal entities), private investors, traders, miners and other participants of the traditional and crypto financial markets. On the platform, several modules are assembled, so that you can receive important information and perform the necessary actions (transactions) in the "one window" mode.

I will dwell on each module in more detail.

CryptoEye - easiest. It's about an information and analytical portal with notes and articles about the "crypto" It is possible to customize the news feed "for yourself". You will receive structured market data, post your own content and purchase investment products.
There is here and Cryptowiki with similar descriptions of popular cryptocurrency.
TheIndex.Fund is focused on collective investment.
These are several automated cryptocurrency index funds (soon to be launched the first five), repeating the dynamics developed by experts Zichain indexes. Of the merits - simple rules for investing funds, low commissions, keeping assets on "cold" purses, monthly rebalancing of the system.
BAMP will allow a couple of clicks to create your own (absolutely legal) crypto fund.
It will remain to attract investors and intelligently manage the portfolio. Security of assets is guaranteed by the blockchain. At the largest crypto exchanges, you can trade through a common terminal. The system itself will take care of the calculation and distribution of commissions.
Finally, ZiChange is a module for buying / selling "crypts" for dollars and euros. Instantly, with low fees, no limit on volume. Appropriate license Zichain has already received, the launch will take place soon.
The scheme of communication between the user and the platform is extremely ordinary.
Registered and use the products. Read the news, change the "crypto" to Fiat and vice versa, invest in cryptocurrency funds or create your own. Probably, the account in Zichain will have to put a certain amount, and access to certain services and functions will be paid.

The "fuel" of the ecosystem will be the ZCN token. Payment for platform services with tokens will give a pleasant discount of up to 30%.
Some of the products are targeted to a wide audience (within the financial market), others to specific ones, for example, TheIndex.Fund is suitable for passive investors, and ZiChange's coverage is for private investors, ICO start-ups, and miners.

The cryptocurrency market desperately needs the most universal solutions, and Zichain is just such a solution. The platform combines new smart contracts with proven methods of the classical financial sphere.

Judging from the experience of Zichain's creators (previous profitable projects) and the potential relevance of the platform (in the absence of an alternative), it is easy to assume that the ICO and the idea itself will continue to be successful in the future.

Means from ICO Zichain will throw on the development and development of infrastructure.
Name: Zitoken (ZCN), ERC20
Maximum number of tokens: 703,125,000
PreSale: May 21 - June 20, 2018 (25% bonus)
Token Sale: July 2 - August 15, 2018
Price of the token: 1 ZCN = 0.1 $
Soft Cap: $ 3,000,000
Hard Cap: $ 25,000,000
All unsold tokens will be burned!
Team Tokens are frozen for 2 years! (If the price of the token grows 3 times compared to ICO, 25% of the frozen team tokens will be unlocked, if the rate increases 5 times, 50% of the frozen tokens will be unlocked
Accepted for payment: ETH, BTC, LTC
If the startup really does create a single point for the entry of private and institutional investors, this will greatly contribute to the popularization of the crypto-currency market. Developed products will be in demand, but take the same "private foundation". A large number of truly steep cryptocurrency traders would gladly take the funds under their control.

ROADMAP AND CURRENT STATE OF THE PROJECT

RoadMap of the project is detailed enough and divided quarterly. The first step is Q2 2017 where the concept has been actualized and the last step is Q1 2020 – with localization for 2 more foreign languages. Currently, ZiChain has released their beta version of an analytical portal – Cryptoeye and landing page for their ZiChange exchange.

ZiChain is going to create 4 different websites and presents it as a separate product. There will be an exchange, asset management platform and news aggregators.
There is no visible reason to use blockchain. Implementation is questionable. We cannot understand why their analytical services need blockchain under its hood.
The team is a grey area. A lot of questions regarding the previous experience of the executive team and only 9 members without even advisors.
No actual demand for their product exists. Already working services look better and it will be hard to compete with them for ZiChain.
ZiChain received Low-interest level from our research team because their products are:

Not unique and existing competitors are very strong (e.g CoinDesk and Coinmarketcap)
They declared that their ZiChange exchange will provide an ability to buy and sell crypto using fiat money directly. Currently, banks are mostly declining transactions related to the crypto industry and probably, these promises will be only promising and we will receive another crypto exchange where competition even stronger.
Team section and experience of its members is questionable.
Blockchain implementation is not clear at all. Our requests left unanswered
