Releasing the Rating

Today, July 22, 2015, we are happy to present you our work. It is a long-awaited service for all blockchain investors and blockchain enthusiasts. It is a list with some pretty useful data.

Struggled for months by looking on the Internet for the relevant information that would allow us to manage/track our blockchain investment portfolio, we have built this service in such a way that should be appreciated by anyone who has tried to make sense in a cryptoworld.

We want to keep complex things simple and easy to understand

Outlook: Smooth and Sexy

Parameters that Talk

Supply

It’s hard and useless to remember an actual supply of every coin because it shows nothing. But changes in supply matter. So, we decided to show you deflation or inflation metrics that are useful to keep record of. If you want to get data on actual and maximum supply of the tokens, just hover over deflation/inflation parameter.

Trade Volumes

If you track blockchain assets regularly, you don’t care much about the unchanged trade volumes. But you do care when they increase or decrease . Therefore, we decided to show you turnover grade:

• <0.1% — Illiquid
• <0.3% — Very Low
• < 0.5% — Low
• < 1% — Normal
• < 2% — High
• > 2% — Very High
• > 3% — Crazy

Turnover is a relative indicator which is calculated as Trade / Market Cap. It is easy and very useful. And you could always get more information by pointing at a parameter.

This indicator is not the ideal variant that we want and it will be significantly improved over time, but it is already much better those that you could find on the Internet. Soon we will add information with the average historical trade volumes of an asset.

Market Cap

Cryptoassets are comparable to the plants that grow in a continental Europe. They do not flourish the whole year only during short intervals within particular seasons. Taken into consideration the network effects and Gartner Hype Cycle we think that there is no golden rule for the optimization criteria. It depends on an adoption stage.

Bitcoin and US Dollar capitalizations are very different metrics. Thus, both should be carefully tracked.

No crap at the top

One of the biggest issues that all blockchain investors have to deal with from time to time is the inflated cryptoassets like AuroraCoin, or Paycoin. We have already seen dozens of pump & dump schemes and will see even more in the future. So, we decided to address this problem. At present we have ranked cryptoassets based on our assessment of each and every asset. You might not like this approach. And, frankly, we are not fond of it too. Therefore, we will add analytical features very soon. At present, look at the top positions of our rating and send us a message if you think that we are wrong in our assessment.

Our ultimate goal is to make it easier for you to get high returns on your investments

It is very unlikely that you will profit from investments in the assets like Clams or Crave that have less than 2 points in our assessment criteria.

Our assessment criteria are the following:

• A clear value proposition that aims at well-defined addressable market
• An innovative business model that spurs growth and adoption rate
• Significant algorithmic improvements that enable security and efficiency of a network

Nothing will help you get high returns on your investments if you don’t understand these simple rules of assessment. If you think that some new sexy buttons in a wallet could out-compete bitcoin network effects, so I wish you good luck. But you risk to be disappointed one day.

Cyber•Rating

It is a simple indicator that gives you a hint where to put your money. We believe that one day it will become a standard assessment tool for all blockchain projects in the same way that S&P and Moody’s are now for any non-crypto projects and economies.

What is behind cyber•Rating?

• Innovations & Science;
• Team & Development;
• Community & Adoption;
• Liquidity & Access;
• Total Addressable Market.

To be honest methodology behind cyber•Rating is quite raw. It is more about our experience than strict and objective rules. So, think of it as a hint, but not recommendation of any kind. The more data we would have, the more community would be involved, the more experience we would get, the better cyber•Rating would become. A separate post on logic behind cyber•Rating will be released in a near future.

Meaningful Assets

There are at least 6 really awesome projects that exist but are not listed on CoinMarketCap:

• Ethereum
• Factom
• Synereo
• BitShares Play
• BitShares Music
• Neucoin

All of them are illiquid yet. That fact doesn’t make them uninteresting. Otherwise, these projects are the most interesting cases in the cryptoworld. However, you might not know them just because they are not listed. We have fixed that. We are going to show you such projects with an “Illiquid” mark. Their capitalization will be calculated based on their crowdfunding rounds and will not change until they go on a market. We believe that such approach will allow you to learn about exciting blockchain assets just in time for early investments.

Clear Listing Principles

CoinMarketCap has no clear rules for a listing. We know it from our experience with cyber•Shares. cyber•Shares are tokens that are distributed across several blockchains thus precisely targeting the audience. Tokens are listed on Counterparty DEX, BitShares DEX and NXT AE.

We sent a request to CoinMarketCap and … received nothing. No reply at all. Why?

No answer. Too cool? Too big? Ok!

By the way this was one of the main reason why we decided to postpone cyber•Shares’ project. We could not get enough media coverage of a project because it was not listed.

We decided to fix that.

Any digital token that exists has a right to be listed

So, it will be listed. But in order to reach a top it should meet cyber•Rating requirements that will be published soon. We think that this is fair. If you don’t need our recommendations and are experienced enough, you could switch to a default ranking by market cap which will be implemented soon.

Roadmap

We have a lot of plans. There is a clear Roadmap on Github. So follow our Blog and Twitter.

That’s it. Go to cyber.fund and try it!
