All you need to know about ICO Development

Are you planning to start your own ICO (Initial Coin Offering)? Well, an ICO Development is normally accompanied by a blockchain, which needs to be developed in order to support the project. Today, we will discuss the various requirements involved with an ICO development project.

What is blockchain?

The blockchain is a technology or a network of peer-to-peer nodes where the information of all transactions is updated in a decentralized ledger (blockchain), a copy of which is maintained and updated with each node in the network. The benefit of such a peer-to-peer network of transactions is that no central authority is needed to verify or confirm a transaction, as all transactions performed within the system are validated automatically by the network itself.

The blockchain makes use of smart contracts to secure the information of its transactions. Intelligent agreements are designed to execute automatically only upon the fulfilment of a particular condition and cannot be accessed or modified without authorization. The technology can be used not only for the transfer of money but also for sending any digital assets across the internet.

The potential applications of blockchain technology are in a range of industries including finance and banking for secure fund transfers, voting, secure identity verification, payments, and others. This is what motivated the development of some decentralized apps and projects based on this modern technology. An ICO is merely a way for such projects or startups behind these projects to raise the much-needed funding for the development.

Getting Started with ICO Development

There are two general types of blockchain startups - the first is the company that develops a blockchain app for their personal use, and the second one is a team or company that produces a blockchain-based project/app for the purpose of others.

Irrespective of the purpose of development, all blockchain projects need start-up funding to pay for the resources and team that will make the project development possible. This is where an ICO development company can help you. A firm that is already engaged in helping businesses with their ICO development and marketing needs can certainly help you by guiding you through your own ICO development project.

Blockchain development

The development of blockchain is one of the first things you need to do while developing your ICO project. This will require a lot of research, including the selection of the best blockchain concept based on your project purpose and requirements, change in the blockchain according to your specific project, etc. Many of these steps may require some technical knowledge which you can borrow from any experienced programmer or even a blockchain development company.

The other steps involved in the ICO development process are - website development, ICO platform development, white paper creation, etc., all of which any professional ICO development services firm can easily manage. Whether you are doing the development part yourself or outsourcing the job to an external company or team, you need to make sure that the website and white paper are according to your project theme and are accurate and complete in information. This is important because your potential ICO investors will use the information given on your website and white paper to decide whether or not to invest in your project.

So, this is how you begin with the ICO development part. The marketing of your ICO project is also equally important, so be sure to assign appropriate funds for the same.
