About Spiking
The Spiking Platform will help traders to follow whales in the cryptocurrency market.
Traders can easily find whales matching their goals, follow their trades automatically, and take the steps toward fulfilling their dreams of achieving financial freedom. With the use of smart contracts on the blockchain, the Spiking Platform will allow its users to mirror the trading activity of any whale and control their own segregated trading accounts directly. SPIKE will be the token that fuels the Spiking Platform (gas).
For new traders, Spiking will offer the assistance of RoboBull — our proprietary AI Robot. RoboBull is an intelligent portfolio management manager that applies artificial intelligence to create a portfolio of different whales based on the trader’s risk/reward ratio. New traders can enjoy peace of mind with a more sustainable trading plan.
Tracking whale trades is a valuable barometer which is lacking in the cryptocurrency market today. Spiking is here to introduce a platform that will fill this market void and transform the way traders interact with the market, helping traders at all levels to make better decisions.

Good project, good team. Met the CEO and he knows what he is doing. Great experience from previous background in the traditional market.
This is not financial advice or a recommendation to invest in this or any other ICO. Investors must perform their own due diligence and not rely on external ratings to make their final investment decisions. ICOs are risky and 100% loss of capital is possible.

Thank you for your faith and confidence in our project!

Wish them to get the proper success.

Thank you for your positive review.
"Because trading is very risky."
You're absolutely spot on! For beginners, it's good to start following whales and swim alongside with them so that you can pick up their relevant skill and intuition.

They to have strong team, however current market conditions require extra caution when considering investing in ICOs. With the diverse regulatory changes and combined with the saturation of crypto exchanges, Spiking will face substantial challenges in the crypto exchange market.

Dear Conston
We appreciate your feedback which reflected a general sentiment towards a bearish crypto market.
On this note, we like to highlight that Spiking is not a crypto exchange as you have pointed out. We are a platform that works with major crypto exchanges to fulfill our order flows.
As such, we are not in the business of competing with crypto exchanges. Instead, we provide liquidity by working closely with whales and followers.
Hope this clarifies and your response to our feedback will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you, Conston.

Team - strong experience and education for the core team, advisors seem to cover most bases and all seem capable of delivering the project.
Vision - although I can see this project being a success, we need to look at the potential impact of this on crypto-markets. Financial regulators around the world are investigating the issues of ETFs and their influence on market performance. The principle is the same here too. If a whale has a huge following, they could move markets on a whim due to the further influence this project could create for them. Such future issues could lead to enforced regulation of crypto-markets by regulators worldwide which, for me at least, wouldn't be a good thing.
Product - alpha version available now. Looks good, performs well.

Appreciate your feedback.
We believe that it is a matter of time that regulators will eventually catch up in the crypto market. That being said, this is where Spiking clearly stands out. We started from the stock market where our technology is tracking over 180,000 sophisticated investors in equities. With this leverage, we are applying the know-how on crypto market... in preparation for the possible eventual mandatory disclosure.

Very cool concept. Great and experienced team.
I am not sure if the economics of the project will make sense in such a fast changing market, but I believe there will be a demand for this product. Good luck!

Thank you very much for believing in our project.
You've highlighted the economics or what we call the profit-split model. This is the key to onboard whales as well as attract followers to ride the crypto market.

White paper - The white paper is quite professionally done with all the relevant information. The idea is not new but the approach of learning and investing from “whales” is refreshing. The rewarding prospect is also quite unique and a win-win situation for all parties i.e whale investors. Crypto enthusiasts, retail investors and the platform itself. Overall the white paper gives plentiful of details to be credible enough for investors.
Team - The team has an illustrious advisory committee, which is commendable along with a diverse and credible team. The actual team members are capable to develop this product and make it easy for novice people to leverage the knowledge of others.
Tokenomics - The tokenomics revolves around Utility token with a share of profit as dividend from both whales and the platform. It’s easy to see the value because this platform would make it both a fun and easy experience for investing in cryptos paving way for mass adoption. Both the token distribution and fund allocation is within reasonable limit.
Business Model - The business model is more or less in place with few whale investors already on board. The model is quite sound and would not need the support of only crypto community to scale up as they are more focussed on increasing the adoption of crypto.
MVP/ DApp/ Working Product - They have a working DAPP in development but the App is already in place.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and valuable insight.
Truly, we are very happy to know that you have read our white paper. It was written with a background knowledge of how whales operate in the traditional stock markets. That being said, we hope to bridge the gap of information asymmetry of whales in the cryptocurrency markets.
Thank you, Dr. Chatterjee.

Team looks very bold and promising to be able to actually take this off. I am a bit blurry on their vision with the tokenomy that they are suggesting. And there are competitive projects out there that might have it a bit better, but lets see. Love the fact that the product is already available to play with.

Thank you for blessing us with a positive review. It means a lot to our team.

Strong team and very diversified. I love it really!
Vision is awesome as whales are also the game changers of the cryptocurrency market, so following them is a safe way for investment. However, how to get real whales is my concern?
Product is interesting and convincing me as it is now available on both platforms Appstore and Google Play.
Good luck!

Yes, we reach out to like-minded whales who want to influence an entire generation of crypto traders. These whales are ICO owners, miners, and funds too.
Together, we can bring authenticity and leadership to crypto trading.

The concept of copy trading is not new, eToro has been around for quite some time and are doing relatively good. The problem with copy trading is that if the trader you follow and his/her trade does well, you do well. Conversely, if their trade is moving in the opposite direction, they loose and you loose. And just because on this platform you follow the “whales” does not mean they get it right all time. Cryptos are very volatile and can result in either big gains or big losses, whichever the case may be. For the these reasons, I give a 4 star rating for vision.
As far as the product is concerned, it’s quite innovative and addressing the huge market of crypto trading, however there’s a lot of competition out there and many more are sure to follow. Taking this all into consideration, the product will face some competitive (and perhaps some regulatory) challenges, hence the 3 star rating.
The team is very large and appears to be very experienced and professional and actually deserves 5 stars. A Spiking ICO team member even puts in the effort to thank every single ICObench expert personally for their high rating and positive review, However when it’s a low rating and rather negative review - justified or not - the tone of the Spiking team member is distinctively different and laced with ridicule and sarcasm. This is not acceptable behaviour for a team that appears to be serious and professional, hence - and regretfully - only a 4 star rating for team. Good luck to the team and it’s high level and experienced advisors.
Remark: I have just updated the team score to 5 stars.
There's was a discrepancy regarding a negative comment posted by one Spiking team member about a fellow ICObench rating/reviewer which posted an arguably negative review regarding this ICO. After speaking with the team, they have removed their negative comment/reply and therefore I commend their decision to approach any negative criticism diplomatically and professionally and take any criticism into consideration before outright dismissing it.

Truly, we appreciate your sincere feedback and wise review.
We have taken remedial action to avoid repetition.
This is a positive milestone for all of us here at Spiking.
Looking forward to updating you with our progress.
Thank you, Jerry.

It was really super hard to give the highest rating from my point of view. However, if you will pay close attention to this project - you will find that each aspect is almost perfect one. Strong team + advisors. Kyc verification. Existing product. Great unique idea and dedication from team. For that reason, I gave the highest possible rating for it.

We are humbled by your review.
We shall continue to work hard to deliver the project.
Thank so much, Maksym.

Team : Very experienced team with international exposure and cross functional expertise.
Vision: Vision is also very clear and how to acheive the vision is mentioned in enough details
Product: There is no doubt that this is an innovative product, however, there are other products in the market with similar functionalities.
Disclaimer: This is an independent review on the ICO, and does not lead to investment advice. ICOs are risky, kindly do your own research before investment.

Truly appreciate your positive feedback.
On your point regarding "other products in the market with similar functionalities", please download our app at Spiking.com/app to review how we qualify whales. These are sophisticated investors and not the average Joes. We leverage our technology in the stock market and apply in the cryptocurrency market so that we can tackle the problem of information asymmetry.
Thank you, Naviin.

I've looked through the whitepaper and found a strong team with well-known advisors. This project undertakes a welcome innovation to what we now have on the market, mirroring trading. If accomplished, trading will take a notch higher through AI, a boon for traders.

Thank you for your well articulated feedback.
Indeed, we are focused on developing our AI technology so that our services extend to both the whales and their followers too.

Following someones investment decisions seems like a very trendy topic this year. Personally I see it as a niche product, and Spiking's proposed execution where the follower pays fees more then the most expensive hedge fund does not sound like a promising opportunity.

We do not feel it is too niche a segment as trading crypto is a major activity at the moment in this industry. Also, Spiking offers very unique systems including Robobull AI to help users at all levels to trade.
Also, the fees are transparent and the user has full control over trades they can make based on provided information, which defers very much from hedge funds as it’s really not quite the same thing.

Team is strong, concept is bit overwhelming.
It seems something like a social trading concept, copy, follow and mirror.
Interesting to see how people react with this concept.

Thank you for your feedback.
Basically, the work on this concept started from our stock market background. For public listed companies, our existing app tracks the likes of CEO, CFO, Chairman, Directors, etc... individuals who have privy knowledge of how the business will perform in the future. As a result, it is very easy to mirror their stock trades and benefit from the due diligence resources of these insiders.
On the contrary, it is not so simple to do the same for the cryptocurrency market! This is because many of the big whales are trading behind wallet addresses. We know the 42 digits but we do not know who are the owners behind these wallets.
It's a conundrum!
As such, we designed our project by leveraging our existing technologies of understanding the whales to create a platform for followers to mirror the trades of the whales in the cryptocurrency market. With blockchain, we are able to verify and distribute the profits in a transparent manner.
Thus, we hope that you will download our app at Spiking.com/app to take a look at our product. After we complete the ICO, we will roll out the next version comprising of a hybrid of cryptos and stocks in a single app interface.
Hope this clarifies your understanding.
Thank you, Yogesh.

Not the most novel idea since there are already other companies doing this, but we will have to wait and see how this idea can benefit from blockchain technology. Solid team for sure.

It might not be the most novel idea... but clearly, we are the only player that is able to fully assess a sophisticated investor's complete portfolio in the markets we cover. Please download Spiking.com/app and take a look at the level of details we track.

2 Million softcap and 15 Million hardcap. The difference are too huge. It indirectly means the team can develop the product with 2 million but they do not mind taking in extra 13 Million?
Website is all about token sale instead of focusing on the project itself. I do not like it. Team should emphasis more on the project itself instead of the tokensale and bonus etc.
I am still unsure why blockchain and a token is needed?
They already have a product, this part I will give it to them.

Though tracking other traders isn't really a new solution as there are several projects in various stages of development or readily available, it looks like they are planning to do an interesting spin on it. We'll see how this projects fairs and if it can become dominant.

Thank you for your support in our project!
Our unique proposition is that we come from the world of traditional stock market. Our app is one of the top grossing finance app in the App Store as well as Google Play. As such, we will bridge interested stock traders into the crypto market through this follow-whale model.
