Resume

According to our research on the Jincor project, we can recommend the purchase of ICO project tokens. The project is well-structured, with consistent information in the official documentation. To conduct a successful crowdsale in our opinion it is necessary to pay attention to work with the community.

Conclusion

At the heart of the Jincor project are experienced experts from the finance industry. The CEO of the project has experience in building and running a business. Strengths of the project: - the project has public beta version of the product - the project as a whole is positively accepted by blockchain industry - the project has core specialists - the project enters a growing market that is ready to accept the technology of smart contracts. Weaknesses of the project: - With respect to other projects that are staging ICO, Jincor has a low interest from

the blockchain community (we believe that an active bounty program and publications

on specialized resources will help settle this issue.)

Market and industry

- For total Ethereum smart contracts the market volume is $24 billion (the volume of the market for all cryptocurrencies is $100 billion) for 2017. Cumulative growth rate of the market (CAGR) is forecasted at the level of 61.5% up to 2021. - According to McKinsey and Company and the World Bank there are 130 million small and medium-sized enterprises in developed markets and there are 100 million enterprises on developing ones. - According to Forbes and Cox Business, 31% of small or medium-sized businesses cite changes in technology needs as one of the most important challenges for a company. - A World Trade Organization report notes that the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in trade is usually small. According to WTO calculations, direct exports account for only 7.6% of total sales. Total exports amount to $14.6 trillion worldwide. - According to a World Payments report, the volume of transactions is $426.3 billion. - Currently, the volume of daily transactions in cryptocurrencies exceeds $2 billion (Juniper Research). According to the data presented, the volume of transactions in cryptocurrency made by small and medium-sized businesses focused on international business is $4.5 billion.

[29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34]

According to the white paper: - Cross-border B2B payments on blockchain can save businesses by about $50-60 billion by 2021 by speeding up delivery. - Smart-contracts will be used by more than 25% of global organizations by 2022. - The annual revenue for enterprise blockchain applications will increase from about $2.5 billion worldwide in 2016 to $19.9 billion in 2025, representing a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26, 2%. - Taking into account that there are more than 250 million companies worldwide and that many of them recognize the need for digital transformation, we believe that Jincor’s market volume can reach $3 billion. - Target customers are small and medium-sized business focused primarily on international activities.

[2]

Comments: Jincor has a market analysis and a target segment. The data given in the white paper is confirmed by other sources. Data regarding potential market volume reflects the real situation in the market.

Competitors

There are discussions on the similarity between Jincor and STATUS on Bitcoin talk: - STATUS (https://status.im/) - browser, messenger and gateway to a decentralized world. Enables storing money and communicating via messenger. In addition, we note the following competitors: - CodeX (https://medium.com/@PaxDirectory/codex-a-legal-scripting-language-e3723cc76662) - a legal system based on smart contracts. Other competitive platforms: Codius (https://codius.org/), BlockCat (https://blockcat.io/), Agrello (https://www.agrello.org/), etc. - Platforms that specialize in smart-contracts.

[35]

Resume:

The difference between Jincor and STATUS, is that STATUS is

focused on B2C, and Jincor provides B2B services. As for

differences with Codius, BlockCat, Agrello, etc. - Jincor has an

instant easy-to-use messenger with an 'arbitration' function. In

addition, Jincor is developing its own blockchain, providing

additional security for users, which is a significant competitive

advantage over similar solutions. In addition, the product

provides an environment for the implementation of legal

cryptocurrency transactions.

Engineering features of the platform

The Jincor ecosystem is a combination of decentralized (dApp) and classic web applications that allow creation and management of organizations without personal technical resources on a private blockchain, based on Hyperledger technologies.

[2]

Technology description

The main feature of the platform is that it is a fusion of decentralized applications and additional layers of classic web applications that allows use of blockchain technologies without any technical or other difficulties in creating smart contracts, making cryptocurrency payments or other types of business process. The general structure, using the example of a labor smart contract, can be seen on the following diagram:

[2]

The platform itself works as follows: 1) A company registers on the system, creating its profile indicating the trade name and type of business, location of headquarters, summary, website, contacts and links to social media. 2) Each participant will have its own cryptocurrency accounts. A company will be able not only to pay for supplies, etc., but also to pay salaries and dividends via smart-contracts (written independently or via submitted templates.) In addition, Jincor Messenger enables storing, sending and signing of all types of electronic document. An interesting point is the addition of a three-tier arbitration system that will help resolve disputes related to the execution of smart-contracts.

Technological Roadmap

In the future, with the development of technology and data capacity, it is planned to implement the following: - October 2017 - Open beta testing. - November 2017 - Introduction of the function of payments and payment of bills. Launch of partner promotion channels. - January 2018 - Release of mobile applications for iOS and Android. - April 2018 - Integration with third-party applications, implementation of tools for verifying corporate users. - June 2018 - Introduction of a corporate digital signature. - Q3 2018 - Introduction of multi-signature wallets for organizations and a system of cryptocurrency settlements between companies and their employees. - Q4 2018 - Corporate smart contracts and their arbitration, instruments for the issuance of securities and dividend payments on blockchain.

Screenshot of

repository

Comment: There is some activity in open repositories.

Resume:

The obvious strengths of the project are the public testing of the beta version of the platform, and activity in the open repositories. According to a representative of the project, Jincor is also

developing its own blockchain, which is a significant

competitive advantage over similar solutions, providing

additional security for users.

Comment:

JCR tokens will be automatically transferred to the buyer's wallet immediately after a successful transaction in ETH or BTC to the Jincor smart contract address. The transfer of JCR tokens to other wallets is prohibited until the end of the ICO (December 30, 2017). Placing on exchanges is planned in December 2017. A list of exchanges will be announced later. According to the white paper, JCR tokens will be available on popular crypto exchanges one month after the ICO; the project is planning to provide an opportunity to buy tokens inside the platform without commissions.

Post-ICO Roadmap

[2]

Resume:

Jincor has a balanced strategy for entering the market.

However, since the company relies on a legal framework

(arbitration), there may be difficulties in adapting the system to

different countries, especially in the payment of wages in

cryptocurrency. Currently, cryptocurrency is legal in a large

number of developed countries and the company's roadmap

has been developed taking into account the current situation. It

will be adapted in accordance with changes in legislation in

countries in whose territories the project will be active.
