Tutellus (TUT) Gets Beyond Halfway There: ICO

Tutellus, the largest educational platform in the Spanish-speaking world, and a decentralized and tokenized educational platform at that, is in the midst of its ICO. It’s looking for $40 million and has this far raised roughly $22 million.

The ICO token price is one nickel (US$0.05) per TUT.

Tutellus has a fascinating approach. The best students may study for free and, in fact, may earn money through tokens. Students who finish a course get “smart TUT” (STUT) tokens based on the value of their submissions of projects and related works, their participation in evaluations of other students, their participation in tutorials with other students, etc. STUT tokens themselves will not be directly tradeable outside the Tutellus system, but up to half of them may be converted to TUT, which in turn will be tradeable into other cryptos or fiat currencies.

Employers are also brought into the system, which is designed to help them “find the perfect fit for a position or contract,” as the TUT white paper says. Employers may buy access to the profiles of students by buying TUTs, in the process, they’ll help fund the whole ecosystem.

A Modest Blockchain Proposal: Reshape Advertising with Varanida's Token Sale

Building a better Internet through a decentralized advertising and content solution.

Blockchain innovator Varanida plans to do nothing less than change the nature of internet advertising. Advertising has long supported the internet, keeping much of it free to users. But with privacy and phishing concerns on the rise, and with the broader and even more dangerous perception that the internet has been hijacked by profit-obsessed click baiters, link farmers, etc., to the detriment of the old dream that ‘information wants to be free,’ it has become clear that internet advertising will have to change.  

The goal of Varanida is to get out in front of and mold that change.

In broadest terms, the idea is to produce a world in which internet users see the advertising they want to see, given their ability to earn VAD tokens by watching it. So the users win. Also, publishers win by paying a fair value price for their advertising and preserving their engagement with their audience. And the advertisers win, getting a fair and transparent advertising network.

The key to achieving this: blockchain technology. As the white paper says, the Varanida Blockchain will deploy “a crowdsourced advertising validation through the validation by users of the quality of the advertising.” This will be a fraud-proof system, allowing for trust within the triangle of advertisers, publishers, and users.

Varanida issued its token sales announcement on June 27.  

On that day, Round 1, an invite-only round, began. The minimum contribution for this round is 3 BTC, or 30 ETH, and 30.15% of the new tokens, VAD, will be sold during this round.

Round 2 is slated to begin on August 15 (unless the maximum amount for Round 1 is hit before then). This will be open to the public, subject to know-your-customer restrictions.

The project’s mother company, Varanida SAS, is headquartered in Lyon, France. One of its early investors and strategic advisors is Joel Comm, the bestselling author of The AdSense Code (2006) and Twitter Power (2009).


The SaveDroid ICO Exit Scam that Wasn’t

Cryptobriefing ran an interview with Yassin Hankir of Savedroid, who secured a bit of notoriety by faking an exit scam.

The nightmare of many an investor in ICOs is that the whole thing is a con, and that the con artists’ exit strategy is an anonymous beach somewhere and a secret bank account. Hankir dramatized that nightmare. After raising $50 million in Savedroid’s ICO, he tweeted out a photo of himself in an airport, in front of a departures-and-arrivals screen, making a thumbs-up gesture. This he juxtaposed with another photo: of a bottle of beer on a beach.

This was not, though, a flamboyant scammer’s “exit.” It was a show, intended to dramatize Hankir’s view that such scams “create a significant risk to the market,” because without trust “the whole market will break down.”

Savedroid is still around, and it has 100,000 installs on the Google App store. Its website claims that the token (SVD) will soon be listed on exchanges. But as Cryptobriefing observes: it isn’t yet. And the make-believe scam did it no favors.
