Editos ( Laurent Leloup)
The signatory companies say: " we strongly believe we need a European ICO/ITO manifesto, to create best practices in this exciting new innovation, enabling projects to federate resources in a regulator-free environment, i.e. in the existing legal frameworks, so entrepreneurs won’t be intimated or stifled in developing innovation in Europe."
The 10 points of this Charter cover the entire ICO / ITO process, in terms of financial and technological transparency:
1. Information provided on the ICO / ITO project
2. Independent legal review of the ICO/ITO Token and its issuer
3. White Paper features
4. ICO / ITO Smart Contract Code and tech specs.
5. KYC, anti-laundering and antiterrorist process
6. Tokens and cryptocurrency raising process
7. Use of ICO / ITO proceeds
8. ICO / ITO Safety and Security
9. Acceptance of a third-party audit to measure the project risk
10. Post-ICO Information
For Laurent Leloup, Chaineum CEO: " Talking about a market that’s able to finance innovation and potentially supersede venture capital, it would be a shame to stifle the ICO phenomenon by a mere suspicion of principle: So as to develop harmoniously, the ICO/ITO market needs a self-regulatory structured approach that we are keen to discuss with public authorities".
