About Kora Network
Kora Ecosystem
Our blockchain stores identity and transactions, runs software modules, and connects to other blockchains while preserving user privacy. We use Tendermint DPoS as a consensus algorithm, allowing for scalability while maintaining decentralization. The blockchain is secured by the Kora Network Token (KNT).
eFiat are digital versions of national currencies that users understand and trust. They are 100% backed by cash reserves, and redeemable on a 1:1 basis.
CVNs empower users to pool capital for lending or investment, social assistance, financial education and other services.

Verdict: 3.5 out of 10
==============================
The Idea of the project is great, but it is too far from realization. The team lacks experience for such ambitious ideas and plans. We find the planned allocation of their funds ridiculous (30% for Onboarding users to the Network and 10% primarily for seed-funding startups that build value-added applications on the Kora Network). The tokenomics of the project will not bring large returns on investments in the short term. Even in the long term, Kora Network have to compete with other projects in this field.
It is also worth mentioning two redflags found during our research:
Redflag!!! There are many accounts (bots) in their telegram group which send same messages about how great the project is. They ask the same questions again and again, even after receiving answers!!!
==============================
Redflag!!! Admins from the Telegram group deleted my messages (about competitors) until I said I was doing research on their project. They said that bots deleted my messages, not them. However, my messages disappeared after one to two minutes, not immediately.

The business model needs some iteration to review the thought process behind the ICO process. The WP looks professional and the team also has the credibility . I hope the team comes up with something concrete in the near term.

Looking unserious and middling.
There are many similar projects. Nothing new.

Hi Mike. I can assure you we are very serious, and there are a number of things in our approach and angle into this issue that separate us from other projects. Please take a look at our website and Vision Paper which has been updated substantially since your review. We would appreciate an update. Regards
