The 100X Advisors team had a great trip visiting the Kucoin R&D branch office to meet the people behind Kucoin. Really excited on the new updates coming to the exchange and glad to be partnered with them as a Global Titan Ambassador.
🏵🏵🏵☁️☁️ Beyond Protocol https://beyond.link/
This project scores 61.36% because it did not pass our technology review. This is the reason we have decided to pass on Beyond Protocol. All of the other metrics for this project were good, but our technology team does not believe in the technology.

💭💭💭 Idea (3 out of 3 points)
The idea is to make a scalable blockchain capable of handling smart contracts and applications. The objective is to make a protocol that will make communications between IOT devices more secure.
Beyond TestNet will unveil at Evolve by Beyond in Los Angeles in September. At launch, the testnet will span three continents, 2,000+ distinct IoT nodes, and 500+ sensors.

🚀🚀🚀Technology (Did not pass)
1. This project does not pass our technology review
2. If they are going to work with EOM manufactures, it will take too much time to implement the technology
3. Car2car charging won't have market penetration in the short term
4. 2-5 years later - maybe.

This is a blockchain capable of network effects.
🏵🏵🏵 🚀🚀🚀MagnaChain- Scores a 60.76% for token metrics. The reason this project scores so low is because it did not pass our technology review. The rest of the token metrics for this project were good.

💭💭💭 Idea (3 out of 3 points)
Similar to highly regarded public blockchains like Ethereum, MagnaChain will allow for virtually limitless applications and tokenized ecosystems to be built on its platform. These ecosystems will include existing games that have been re-configured to run on the blockchain, new games built exclusively to run on MagnaChain, third-party exchanges for digital assets, and third-party marketplaces.

Magna will function like gas, with every transaction on a dApp, developers will need to have Magna to pay for the mining. DApp developers will be able to create their own tokenized ecosystems on Magna; they could use Magna to facilitate in-game transactions.

🚀🚀🚀 Technology (Did not pass)
1. They still have translation errors in the whitepaper
2. This is very unprofessional for a project trying to raise $20M
3. There is no real innovation in the technology
4. Few innovations from a technical point of view, VH-POS is not much different from regular POS.

It is an entirely new, built from scratch, public blockchain and related integration toolset used for distributed application (dApp) development
🏵🏵🏵 🚀🚀🚀#Metahash- Scores a 86.39% for token metrics making it an all-star ICO. We are excited about #MetaHash as it is a blockchain project capable of network effects that will compete against Ethereum. We believe that #Metahash could be the Icon of Russia.

💭💭💭 Idea (3 out of 3 points)
#Metahash is a Blockchain 4.0 project that concentrates its efforts on building the fastest synchronization, utilizing common hardware and standard 100 MBPS channels.

A unique feature of #Metahash is unlike smart contracts, with #MetaHash, any program written in any language can become a dApp.

🚀🚀🚀 Technology (Passed)
This project passed our technology review.
1. It has good protection against double spending and sybil attacks.
2. The small number of consensus nodes with a high bandwidth requirement allows Metahash to achieve thousands of TPS.
