ICO Safety Checks
Our mission is to educate our readers on how to identify fraudulent ICO projects and encouraging projects themselves to be more transparent in their marketing and presentation.
We are committed to only listing legitimate ICO projects. We perform an initial safety check on every ICO that submits to be listed and do our best to filter out bad actors from being listed or featured on our site.
Of course, having a stringent background check means that not all projects will be listed. The following set of criteria will be used when determining if a project is worthy of being listed:
-
Founders and team members
-
Social media profiles
-
Website professionalism
-
Whitepaper content
-
Registered company details
While we can take steps to filter out scammy projects, it is ultimately up to the investor to perform due dilligence on any investment being made.
None of the information you read on CryptoSlate should be taken as investment advice. Investing in initial coin offerings should be considered an extremely high-risk activity. Furthermore, CryptoSlate will not endorse any particular ICO and we don't encourage or discourage our users to make ICO investments.
We do encourage our site visitors to read the following post to better educate themselves on identifying scams:
