Important Photochain ICO Main Sale Update: Are you a Faithful Community Backer, Braveheart or Remnants Buyer?

Photochain updated the ICO Token Sale Structure and Token Economics — ICO now open!

As you know, things move very quickly in the crypto world. We have also seen positively interesting developments for Photochain, so we have decided to make some last minute constructive changes to our token sale.

Just to explain first. In the last few weeks we’ve gained so much momentum, progressing from a hidden champion to a very promising and popular prospect amongst the ICO landscape. We’ve built a highly experienced teamand very influential advisory board, and the community sees our real value, substance and commitment to achieving our long term ambitions.

All this, and the continual praise of our simple, yet effective prototype demo, are some reasons for our excellent ratings on the most prestigious of ratingssites. We even picked up ICO pitch award along the way.

Our whitelist has rapidly grown over this period, alongside a steady recognition in the mainstream and crypto media, as well as plenty of praise and wellwishers in the photography community. So we want to do what is best for all our supporters.

Taking into consideration our fantastic prerequisites, our great (and ever-growing) community, our pre-sale participants’ thoughts, as well as the current crypto market conditions, this is what the new plan is.

We’re going to show self-confidence and strength in keeping our ICO main sale starting date the 6th April 2018, but we are changing the structure of the main sale for two key reasons.

1) We want to give our faithful community the chance to secure their tokens before a potential early hard cap (as we are in late stage discussions with private large investors in the area of 2–5m USD).

2) By dividing our main sale into several phases we can match the risk appetite of each type of ICO contributor in the current crypto market situation (but we can’t guarantee that after the first or second phase, there are still tokens available).

The new sale structure is as follows:

ICO Main Sale I “Community ♡ Sale”, for 3 days:

Changes to main sale structure and to token economics have been updated in whitepaper and on homepage.

As we say, we can’t guarantee that after the first or second phase, there will still be tokens available. If this is the case, we will not hold the third stage, Remnant sale. Also, all stages of the main sale will be closed once we reach our hard cap. We want to emphasize that we are in negotiation with private large investors for deals of several millions USD, so please plan your own contribution accordingly.

For those who voluntarily choose to follow our optional vesting periods, you will be rewarded with an increased discount. These vesting periods mean that you will not be allocated your tokens until the vesting period expires. Tokens are minted by our smart contracts, but not delivered to your ERC20 address until the vesting period is up, meaning you cannot sell or trade your tokens. Just to be clear, these are completely optional.
