Add commentsICO TOKEN DISTRIBUTION & ECONOMICS
- Details

Usually, a percentage of the tokens is sold to ICO participants and a percentage kept for the company’s needs. The token distribution and allocation of the token is usually a chapter in the future company whitepaper. A pie chart displays how and to whom tokens will be allocated. But how much tokens are allocated (amount) and what are they used for? how much token should I spend for advisor? is 15% of all tokens too much for founder? How many company use reward pool and what is the best size?
I’m trying to answer all these questions at https://ico.tokens-economy.com/distribution/ You can discover how much token are given for pre-sale, main sales, or reserved for particular needs across a bit less than 900 ICO!
After analyzing 896 ICO, up to 24 main categories used to describe token distribution have been identified:
advisors, airdrop, bonus, bounty, burned, community, company, crowdsale, ecommerce, foundation, founder, investors, legal, lockup, marketing, operations, pool, premined, presale, referrals, research, reserves, team
The tedious work was to get the data and map categories (people used a huge amount of synonyms: up to 1936 unique words/sentences, including typos) down to 24 categories!
Some examples:
- crowdsale: ico, sales, crowd sale, crowd-sale, free sale, ico round, main-ico, coinsale, coin sale, ico token, public, …
- bounty: ico bounty, bug bounty, gift, bounties
- frozen: frozen, lock-up, vesting, lockup
- and the list goes on….
After that, graphing all these values was easy thanks to google charts API
I will update the data regularly, so keep visiting this page in the future.
How it was done
- Data are stored in Google Sheet, 2190 ICO, read from Whitepapers using PDFBox.
- A category parser read and match token distribution categories (> 1936 unique words/sentences) and their respective values
- A category reducer reduce the number of categories to a more manageable number by mapping similar category together. E.g. Early Bird investors -> preico
- A category analyzer can query these data using multiple category selector strategies.
What’s next?
I will improve the category reducer over time to catch more and more synonyms and increase the coverage of ICO taken into account by the category analyzer.
I plan to export the rules used in the category reducer and display them beside each pi chart soon.

introduction
This is my attempt to list all possible blockchain consensus out there, I welcome pull request of the blockchain community! let's make it the main reference for blockchain consensus. Visit also Tokens-Economy.com to keep track of new developments in the distributed ledger technology space.
Blockchain Consensus?
At the core of the Blockchain disruption is a consensus algorithm:
Consensus algorithms enable network participants to agree on the contents of a blockchain in a distributed and trust-less manner.
“Consensus decision-making is a group decision-making process in which group members develop, and agree to support a decision in the best interest of the whole. Consensus may be defined professionally as an acceptable resolution, one that can be supported, even if not the “favourite” of each individual. Consensus is defined by Merriam-Webster as, first, general agreement, and second, group solidarity of belief or sentiment.” Wikipedia
And the consensus algorithm plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of the blockchain. Using the right algorithm may bring a significant increase to the performance of blockchain application.
The trilemma claims that blockchain systems can only at most have two of the following three properties:
- Decentralization (defined as the system being able to run in a scenario where each participant only has access to O(c) resources, i.e. a regular laptop or small VPS)
- Scalability (defined as being able to process O(n) > O(c) transactions)
- Security (defined as being secure against attackers with up to O(n) resources)
Each consensus algorithm has its own application scenario. There is no absolute good or bad. The choice of which consensus to use for implementing the blockchain depends on the type of network and data.
For a transaction to be valid on most cryptocurrency networks, the transaction needs to collect a certain number of confirmations (often equals to an inclusion in a block of a blockchain) from the network. E.g 10 confirmations mean to see a specific transaction in one block and 9 consecutive blocks.

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have revolutionized the way companies raise capital but at the same time are bringing their own sets of challenges. To ensure that your startup will go through that (ad)venture in a safe manner, you should always adhere to best security practices, for your company AND your investors.
This mind map will present you in a visual way lots of valuable information like:
- A compilation of the most dangerous threats to the ICO industry and how to mitigate,
- A set of best practices to protect your ICO from hackers,
Due to the nature of the ever-changing ICO landscape and the never-ending hackers creativity, this document will ALWAYS be a work in progress. I will continue extending it for the years to come, as long as there are interest and a value for the Blockchain community.
Feel free in comments to give me your feedback :-)
