Securing Fundraising with
Blockchain-Driven ICO Development

Business Insights

A UK-based startup aimed to disrupt the content publishing and sharing market using blockchain technology. To achieve this, they sought to raise funds through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) — using a stable and secure crowdfunding method. The client needed a comprehensive ICO solution covering all technical requirements: a responsive token sale site, robust ERC20 smart contracts, a full-featured investor dashboard with KYC/AML, and 24×7 availability — all at minimum cost.

Challenges & How We Solved Them

Launching an ICO presents numerous challenges, especially in security and legal compliance. One primary challenge was to develop highly secure smart contracts capable of managing various configurations, such as holding or extending token sales, issuing refunds, and locking tokens based on timestamps. Additionally, a detailed KYC process was necessary due to the client's launch from a regulated region. Another significant challenge was implementing a token vault to lock team tokens and release them based on milestone achievements. Lastly, investors demanded a security audit of the smart contract codes, but the high cost of such audits posed a significant bottleneck.
