|description= Successful ICO — are crowd sales that managed to attract the claimed
}}

[[Successful ICO]] - are crowd sales that managed to attract the claimed amount unlike failed [[ICO|ISOs]]. The [[ICO|ISO]] market has shown a rapid growth since the moment of its appearance and by the end of November 2017 it made out $3,775 billion; however, a tendency to compression is observed: more and more projects of low quality come to the market, which cannot collect the necessary amount or are fraudulent.

== Growth of failed ISOs’ number ==

The expert note the pattern: the more [[ICO|ISO]]s come to the market, the bigger part of them is unsuccessful. In June 2012, 12 projects came to the [[ICO|ISO]] and only one of them couldn’t collect the necessary amount. After that, the number of [[ICO|ISOs]] grew month after month and more and more projects couldn’t collect the necessary amount. For example, in August 2016, several dozens of projects came to the crowd sale, but over a half of them didn’t reach the necessary level. At the same time, the middle amount of attraction for one project was reduced.
In October 2017, according to the data of the Smits+Crown Company, all projects managed to attract $662 million in total via [[ICO|ISOs]], while in September the amount made out $941. At that, there were 68 crowd sales in October and only 59 in September.
== The most successful ICOs ==

[[EOS]]. As of the beginning of December 2017, the project, the crowd sale of which is still going on, managed to attract $200 million. The goal of the project is the automation of business processes in the financial sphere, development of apps and services for business with the use of the new [[blockchain]] architecture.
[[Filecoin]]. The start-up managed to attract $57 million at the pre-sale stage and over $200 million at the main [[ICO|ISO]] stage. It supposes the creation of an effective system of data storage on the base of the blockchain.

'''[[The Bancor Protocol]]'''. The project on the creation of a platform for [[token]] exchange of the ERC20 Standard without intermediary of crypto currency [[exchanges]] managed to attract $153 million on the [[ICO|ISO]].

[[Polkadot]]. The protocol allowing to carry out [[transaction]] between various blockchains, attracted over $144 million.

'''[[QASH]]'''. The crypto currency of the global liquidity blockchain platform from Japan attracted over $108 million at the [[ICO|ISO]] stage.

== Sensational failed projects ==

[[Tezos]]. The [[block chain]] platform for smart contracts on the [[proof-of-stake]] protocol, which was called “[[Ethereum]] killer” at the [[ICO|ISO]] stage, collected the record at that moment $230 million. However, the dissidences within the team as well as the constant shifting of launch terms of the next stage led to the fact that the investors filed a lawsuit against the project founders with the request to return the invested funds.

[[The DAO]]. One of the most sensational [[ICO|ISOs]] on the [[Ethereum]] platform became the project on the creation of a decentralized autonomous community. The project collected $150 million, but the hackers’ attack, in the course of which over $60 million were stolen from the [[bitcoin wallet|wallet], followed to its closing. The conflict within the community about the further actions in this situation followed to the hard-fork of [[Ethereum]] and the appearance of [[Ethereum Classic]].

[[CoinDash|Coindash]]. The Israeli [[cryptocurrency]] [[exchanges|exchange]] met the hackers’ attack at the [[ICO|ISO]] stage: they replaced the [[bitcoin wallet|wallet] number, so that the investors transferred over $7 million to the plotters. Although as a result, the platform collected $7,5 million and is working now, the situation made everybody think about the safety of the [[block chain]] one more time.

'''[[Confido]]'''. In late November, the organizers of the [[ICO|ISO]] start-up, Confido simply disappeared having gathered $375 000. Although the project representatives claimed that they were ready to return all the [[exchanges|invested funds]], the precedent put the community on alert.

'''[[PlexCorps]]'''. In early December, the [[Security]] and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the USA emergently froze the realization of [[ICO|ISO]] for the first time because of the suspicions of fraud. The project offered the income over 1300% within a month. At the moment of this decision, the project of the Canadian citizen, Dominic Lacroix has already attracted $15 million.

== Perspectives of ICO projects ==

Since the majority of the projects attracting funds via [[ICO|ISOs]] only plan their realization in 2018 or even later, it is too soon to talk about the results of the business itself. According to some estimations, about 90% of all projects that have successfully completed the [[ICO|ISO]] will not follow to the creation of a working product.

The analysts of Token Report have studied 226 [[ICO|ISO]]s and come to the conclusion that only in 20 cases, the tokens placed during the [[ICO|ISO]] are used for supporting the work of the companies that issued them. The remaining ones are purely speculation tools.

The experts beware that there will be more and more low-quality and clearly fraudulent projects on the back of the interest to the [[block chain]] and the [[Cryptocurrency|crypto currencies]].
