MultiVAC ICO Overview

The MultiVAC ICO and MTV token are raising funds for a high-throughput, flexible blockchain platform based on trusted sharding computation, storage, and data transmission.

The design features of MultiVAC are purpose built for integration with large-scale decentralized applications (dApps). As a core aspect of the protocol, developers can customize parameters for consistency, availability and partition tolerance, providing a high degree of user autonomy over the blockchain infrastructure.

MultiVAC ICO Value Proposition

MultiVAC implements a novel approach to scalability for large-scale dApp development through a sharding model called Verifiable Random Functions (VRF) for transactions, computation, and storage. Transactions on the network are confirmed through UTXO, whereby miners are dynamically selected through a probability model.

MultiVAC operates on the MultiVAC Virtual Machine (MVM), which includes the Blockchain Instruction Set Computer (BISC). The BISC is the key feature of MVM that allows developers to decide how many nodes are required for each dApp, selecting a large number for better security and a smaller number for higher throughput.

MVM currently supports C compilation based on LLVM, with the aim to eventually integrate other languages such as Java and Go. As MultiVAC will become an open-source ecosystem, the ultimate goal is to incorporate as many languages as possible for backwards-compatibility with existing applications.

For data storage and retrieval, MultiVAC employs a mechanism based on both Hash and Merkle Roots, in addition to a sharded storage network based on the native VRF model. MultiVAC storage nodes only contain block header information, maintaining the full transaction input and output in the distributed storage network.

MultiVAC utilizes a Proof of Instruction Execution (PoIE) consensus mechanism, which verifies honest computation in a way similar to proof of replication. The PoIE consensus algorithm is directly embedded into MVM, verifying each executed instruction. When an instruction sequence with sufficient gas is completed and verified, the node will issue the computational results through the consensus mechanism and will receive a gas reward.

The basic logic of PoIE is that all nodes running on the network contribute a high amount of computational resources through hashing and randomized data processing, making it costlier from the perspective of nodes to act maliciously than in the interests of the network.

The MultiVAC native token (MTV), provides the means of transacting value within the ecosystem. The token incentivizes computation and storage nodes to contribute resources toward computation, storage and data transmission. Nodes that contribute to both storage and computation receive higher rewards.

He spent an additional 2 years as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Nanyang Technology University after obtaining his PhD before taking up a position as Associate Professor at Tianjin University for 3 years. He specializes in parallel algorithms and general-purpose computation.

Claire Wang (CMO) is former Director of Marketing at Xinrenxinshi.com, where she served for nearly 3 years. Prior to that, she spent a year as a Product Manager at Meituan. Claire holds an MA in Public Administration from Beijing Normal University.

Dr. Susan Calvin graduated from Columbia University in 2003 and has been lauded for her exceptional work in cybernetics and positronic interfaces. She is currently Chief Robopsychologist at US Robots. If you’re still reading this bio, it might please you to know that MultiVAC is named after one of Isaac Asimov’s fictional creations, too.

On the advisory side, MultiVAC has influential advisors from both the blockchain and enterprise arenas. Among them are Roger Lim of Neo Global Capital, and Meituan Co-founders, Yang Jun, and Chen Liang.

The full team consists of 16 members and 7 advisors, the details of which can be found here.

MultiVAC ICO Strengths and Opportunities

A major advantage of MultiVAC is the level of customization in the hands of developers. Flexible sharding computation means dApps built on MultiVAC can operate according to whichever parameters are set by developers. Developers can choose their own parameters for consistency, availability, partition tolerance and the level of decentralization. The size of the shard is set through the contract creator; a higher amount of nodes allots for availability and security, while a smaller amount facilitates higher throughput.

Developers also have control over other parameters such as probability of forks and the amount of gas required for transactions.

The MultiVAC developer team is relatively new to blockchain, yet their experience at leading tech companies and universities is strong. Members of the developer team include former Senior Engineers from Google, Tencent and Alibaba, as well as researchers from Harvard, Nanyang Technology University and the University of Sydney.

The developer team consists of 13 full-time members, and plans to solicit support from the open source community as the project moves further along. The team’s collective track record of accomplishments in the tech sphere lends a high degree of credibility toward their current work with MultiVAC.

MultiVAC ICO Weaknesses and Threats

While the MultiVAC team has at their disposal a number of channels through a network of advisors to establish partnerships for dApps, no announcements have been made to this effect.

As a blockchain that is purpose-built for development of large-scale dApps, enterprises will conceivably comprise a substantial share of the target market. A key factor at play in this scenario is the level of product development, which is currently still at the MVP stage. The team plan to have a testnet up and running by the end of July, which would provide a crucial stepping stone toward cooperation with large-scale enterprise clients.

Still, a concrete development roadmap and go-to-market strategy have yet to be unveiled, leaving these crucial questions unanswered.

The MultiVAC ICO offers a unique take on trusted sharding with the inclusion of a storage solution, but projects like Zilliqa and QuarkChain remain significant contenders that may overlap in their respective target markets. With Zilliqa planning a mainnet launch in Q3 2018 and QuarkChain following shortly thereafter in Q4, the projects will both maintain an advantage as first-movers in the space. How MultiVAC position the project in respect to the competition will be crucial for onboarding a sustainable user base.

The Verdict on the MultiVAC ICO

The MultiVAC ICO adds a dynamic new contender to the high-throughput protocol race. Features that include flexibility for developers and incorporation of components like storage make MultiVAC a novel solution for the large-scale dApp market. While the project remains in the early stages of development, the team and product concept are strong.

Additional Information

We have been in discussions with the MultiVAC ICO team and our ratings are based on conversations and information that they have asked us to keep confidential. While it may seem premature to rate their ICO highly, we are privy to insights that suggest a solid project, and we will update this review when the MultiVAC ICO team is ready to share further data.

As a Top 10% rated ICO, we will look to make a small bet on the MultiVAC ICO.

We have rated hundreds of projects to unearth ICOs in which members of our team intend to invest.

We won’t often go into further depth on projects that we don’t consider as candidates for our investments after the initial rating process, which is why you will usually see our stamp on our detailed ICO reviews – they are the best we have found. However, on occasion, we might also rate a well-hyped project that does not meet our personal investing criteria. Please see our detailed disclaimer to the right (on desktops) or below (on other devices).

The Crypto Briefing Top 10 stamp is awarded to ICO projects that we rate in the top 10% of all projects.

The team at Crypto Briefing analyzes an initial coin offering (ICO) against ten criteria, as shown above. These criteria are not, however, weighted evenly – our proprietary rating system attributes different degrees of importance to each of the criteria, based on our experience of how directly they can lead to the success of the ICO in question, and its investors.

This category accounts for the leaders, developers, and advisors.

Poor quality, weak, or inexperienced leadership can doom a project from the outset. Advisors who serve only to pad their own resumes and who have ill-defined roles can be concerning. But great leadership, with relevant industry experience and contacts, can make the difference between a successful and profitable ICO, and a flub.

If you don’t have a team willing and able to build the thing, it won’t matter who is at the helm. Good talent is hard to find. Developer profiles should be scrutinized to ensure that they have a proven history of working in a field where they should be able to succeed.

What is the technology behind this ICO, what product are they creating, and is it new, innovative, different – and needed?

The IOTA project is a spectacular example of engineers run amok. The technology described or in use must be maintainable, achievable, and realistic, otherwise the risk of it never coming into existence is incredibly high.

Tokens which have no actual use case are probably the worst off, although speculation can still make them have some form of value.

The best tokens we review are the ones that have a forced use case – you must have this token to play in some game that you will probably desire to play in. The very best utility tokens are the ones which put the token holder in the position of supplying tokens to businesses who would be able to effectively make use of the platforms in question.

There doesn’t have to be a market in order for an ICO to score well in this category – but if it intends to create one, the argument has to be extremely compelling.

If there is an existing market, questions here involve whether it is ripe for disruption, whether the technology enables something better, cheaper, or faster (for example) than existing solutions, and whether the market is historically amenable to new ideas.

Most ideas have several implementations. If there are others in the same field, the analyst needs to ensure that the others don’t have obvious advantages over the company in question.

Moreover, this is the place where the analyst should identify any potential weaknesses in the company’s position moving forward. For instance, a fundamental weakness in the STORJ system is that the token is not required for purchasing storage.

With many ICO ideas, the timing may be too late or too early. It’s important for the analyst to consider how much demand there is for the product in question. While the IPO boom funded a lot of great ideas that eventually did come to fruition, a good analyst would recognize when an idea is too early, too late, or just right.

Some of the least compelling ICO propositions are those that claim their founders will achieve some far-off goal, sometime in the future, just so long as they have your cash with which to do it.

More interesting (usually) is the ICO that seeks to further some progress along the path to success, and which has a clearly-identified roadmap with achievable and reasonable milestones along the way. Founders who are already partially-invested in their products are generally more invested in their futures.

Having a strong community is one of the fundamental building blocks of any strong blockchain project. It is important that the project demonstrates early on that it is able to generate and build a strong and empowered support base.

The ICO marketplace is becoming more crowded and more competitive. While in the past it was enough to merely announce an offering, today’s successful ICO’s work hard to build awareness and excitement around their offering.

One of the biggest factors weighing any analysis is price. The lower the price the more there is to gain. But too low of a price may result in an under capitalized project. It is therefore important to evaluate price relative to the individual project, its maturity and the market it is going after.

The total supply of tokens should also be justified by the needs of the project. Issuing a billion tokens for no reason will do nobody any good.

Communication is key. The success of a project is strongly tied to the project leaders’ ability to communicate their goals and achievements.

Things don’t always go as planned but addressing issues and keeping the community and investors in the loop can make or break a project.
