Conclusion

The project has experienced professionals and advisors behind it. Unfortunately, the

project does not yet have sufficient attention (compared to other ICOs) from the

blockchain community.

Strengths of the project:

- based on the analytical data, we would like to note that the project team has chosen

a steadily growing market where we believe it is possible to occupy a prominent

share.

- a significant advantage is that the project has an industrial partner in trade analytics.

Weaknesses of the project:

- The project does not yet have an MVP (minimal viable product) — even with a trade

analyst as partner, the project team has not yet presented its artificial intelligence (AI)

for picking trade strategies.

- there is also no set platform development strategy (including marketing), which

could lead to a lack of investors (users) in the system.

- In addition, it is not clear how an investor will convert their finances from tokens to

fiat (there is no description of this process).

Market and industry

According to the World Federation of Exchanges, global capitalization of the

securities and currency trading market has grown by 4.4%. However, there was a

decline in derivative trade (2%) and share trade (15%). As far as market participants

are concerned, Simon Troy (Marketing Head at www.forextrade1.com) has estimated

that there are now about 77,296 million traders worldwide.

Turning to the cryptocurrency market, we can speak of great potential: According to

Infoholic Research LLP report, the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology market

will grow by 35.2% in the next five years.

[29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34]

The project team wants to offer potential investors (users) the use of third-party

trading strategies and elaboration of an individual plan after making a decision about

investment tools and profitability. An additional benefit is that users will not be charged

with commission for using the platform. The profits will come from the commission

from Liquidity Providers for the sales volume that comes from Scrinium.

Unfortunately, the official documentation does not include an analysis of the market

for direct clients of the platform (Liquidity Providers) and their users (investors).

[2]

Comment:

There is no market analysis in the white paper. Moreover, the

project team has not presented a market entry strategy or any

methods for attracting target audiences.

Competitors

In the course of our review, we identified the following competitor:

Brickblock — an integrated platform for trading various financial assets, as well as for

bringing together brokers and investors.

Resume:

The difference between Scrinium and its competitor is that on

Scrinium, the process of matching a user with a trader is

automated, while on Brickblock you have to find a trader on

your own.

Engineering features of the platform

The platform is built on the basis of blockchain technology using smart contracts

operating in an Ethereum environment.

Scrinium will use Ethereum with the Raiden network to ensure stability, high

transaction speed, and scalability for the entire network. The scalable environment

will be built on standard web technologies and decentralized distributed technologies

IPFS/SWARM [35] and BigchainDB/IPDB [36].

The following is a diagram of Scrinium platform member interaction:

Technology description

The series of steps required for a platform user to take: - An investor would open an account and select suitable options for generating his portfolio. - A trader would connect his new or existing trading account to Scrinium via the API. - The trader would then carry on trading in their usual manner, while Scrinium would record the trades, analyse them and suggest inclusion in different investor portfolios depending on trading performance and consistency. - At the same time Scrinium would send exact copies of the trader’s orders to the investor’s account in one or several liquidity providers from a liquidity pool. - Once a trade is closed with positive results, Scrinium assigns a profit to the investor immediately and pays out the trader’s reward.

[2]

Comment: The platform links traders and investors, which is a classic

pattern of interaction in the exchange industry.

Technological Roadmap

In the future, with the development of the technology and data capacity it is planned

to implement the following:

- December 2017 — development of an internal platform prototype for testing. - March 2018 — Blockchain contracts integration. - May 2018 — prototype release. - June 2018 — smart portfolio compilation, testing.

[2]

- September 2018 — product release.

Comment:

The roadmap provides a fairly succinct description of the platform’s development. In addition, the project's technology development plans are interrupted in the course of 2018. It is, therefore, not entirely clear which direction the project will

pursue.

The chart-engine module is given in the open repository.

Screenshot of

repository

Comment:

The activity in the repository is minimal; a scheduling module

is given. Unfortunately, there is no smart contract nor any AI

modules.

Resume:

The technical content of the project is quite clear. However, AI

operation should have been described in more detail and/or

displayed.

Documentation

We checked the site and the documentation of Scrinium for sufficiency and

consistency in order to make an investment decision.

In addition to the project site, the documentation contains a White paper in English. In

the provided document, the description of Scrinium is rather brief. In addition, the

information on the promotion plans and possible risks was not disclosed.

The website provides the following information: about the project, the team, the Roadmap, token distribution, staging the public ICO.

[1]

Resume:

The project documentation can provide a general overview of

the platform. However, we recommend the project give much

deeper attention to fundamental development issues.

The project has just started activity on social media. News on Twitter, Facebook, and

Telegram started appearing only recently. The format of the articles suggests that they

were primarily ordered by the project.

Analysis of the site traffic based on Similarweb.com data showed the following:
