MXC
Telegram: https://t.me/mxcfoundation
Website: https://www.mxc.org/ico

-MXC allows for a decentralized data exchange combining LPWAN technology and blockchain. The protocol facilitates exchange between devices in range or over internet where the sensors collect data from devices and send to a gateway.
-Token utility: pay for network usage and receive payments from selling data and services. Long roadmap but with first Anti-collision module already in Q4, followed by Smart Bidding and Inter-Chain Data Market. Hardware prototype already exists produced by MatchX - working company with an existing user base founded by MXC CEO Sheen Xin Hu. MXC will enable monetizing this tech and as a protocol can build on top of any permissionless blockchain including IOTA and Stellar.
-Team has experience in hardware engineering, LPWAN for industries and business development. Fenbushi and Draper already invested and partnerships with Polkadot, Quarkchain and Vechain have been established. The partnerships should help, as the core team is lacking in blockchain experience at the moment (but is hiring more devs). Additionally, the presentation of the project on the website and in the official documents is lacking - but we hope it improves as the mainsale approaches.
-Presale locks are very long, so the circulating supply should be very low after listing which should reflect very well on opening token price.
-Opening rating at 80.1% but this will probably increase with more community excitement, improving market and quality hires.

-Tenzorum is supposed to be a Key Management protocol to provide a seamless access to Blockchain products. The protocol layer will interface with existing decentralized networks such as Ethereum, Urbit, Nebulas, Bitcoin, etc.
-It brings together protocols such as secured login, recovery mechanism and access control that allows users to take control of the way they interact with decentralized technologies.
-All well and fine, but testnet is planned for Q3/Q4 2019, and full release is not even given an ETA. Talk about long roadmaps.
-Tenzorum proudly wears the Stanford badge, which amounts to CEO Moritz Neto being the Brazilian delegate for Asia-Pacific Stanford Entrepreneurship Student Summit at Stanford University in the Summer of 2017 and placing 1st in the Stanford ASES student Pitching Competition. A win is a win.
-All this (sans actual whitepaper) can be yours for a hardcap of 55k ETH. We will pass.

Cognida

- Cognida Network and its open source platform enable enterprises to more securely manage connected devices, systems and shared information using blockchain agnostic technology. Cognida delivers standardized security APIs for interaction with multiple blockchains. The Platform secures enterprise assets and provides a Service Interface into a networkof trusted vendors. It will be released to the open source Cognida Foundation at the launch of the Cognida Service Network.
- Cognida was founded by Windmill Enterprise, co-founded by Michael Hathaway of Information Xchange, Inc, and Bing Byington (father of Dustin Byington from Wanchain) of CareConnex. It is difficult to say what the role of some team members are as they are listed both as leadership and advisors - which usually means they are neither. Example is Wayne Lawler who has no mention of Cognida or Windmill Enterprise on his Linkedin. In addition, the dev team does not seem to have much blockchain experience but Wanchain and Rivetz connections cannot hurt. Well, Rivetz might.
- 20M cap, TGE in July will be the same time as the Beta launch of their platform. They claim to have a private demo which might be good for them, it being private is unlucky for potential investors making it somewhat a gamble.
- Cognida is a serious project with real potential adoption, but might suffer from "the Factom syndrome" - bad presentation of a problem your typical crypto investor does not understand, and is not very much interested in. Might be a good long term hold.

Binance is planning to launch a decentralized exchange in the coming months and almost everyone is invited, founder and Chief Executive Officer Changpeng Zhao said.

The Binance team will either have no say or a loose grasp on the coins that list on the network, steering away from the current model of tight control on the digital assets that are traded on its exchange, Zhao said in an interview. Conditions to list on the centralized exchange, which will coexist with the decentralized platform, will remain the same.
