Most merchants are wary of accepting crypto as payment on their platform because of cash-out problems and price instability.

Thus, the developers created MenaCash. This coin can be considered a stablecoin, as its value is backed 100% by the US dollar. The crypto will be used as a currency for transactions on the MenaPay platform. On this platform, each MenaCash coin has a value of one dollar.

HotCoin (HCN) uses Ethereum’s ERC20 blockchain algorithm, which was designed to ensure anonymity for users that access products and services offered by the adult entertainment industry. The team behind the project claims that their token can already be used in this purpose, allowing users to use adult websites and services.

They also aim to implement other products, including a HotCoin wallet, a payment gateway, as well as VR and AR solutions.

4. OCEAN Poseidon Foundation

ICO Start Date: 16 February 2019
ICO End Date: 24 March 2019

OCEAN Poseidon is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to reducing carbon footprints emissions.

Through their blockchain-powered platform, Poseidon can harness global concern over the climate change to make and track an impact in the forestry and land-use sector.

Poseidon’s blockchain platform enables users to transact carbon credits in grams. Before, carbon credits could only be bought in kilograms, so the acquisition of smaller items couldn’t be offset. Via the use of micro-transactions, Poseidon’s platform enables any product or (service) carbon footprint to be rebalanced at the point-of-sale.

Unlike most projects which use Ethereum’s blockchain, Poseidon’s token will use the Stellar platform, which is the most environmentally friendly blockchain platform, as it doesn’t require a consensus mechanism that consumes a huge amount of energy. A transaction on the Stellar network has an environmental footprint that is even less than that of a transaction (made using a Visa card).

5. RAWG ICO

Advertisers can also use RAWG tokens to buy ads on the RAWG platform, in order to reach players.
