Currently, those wishing to invest in “the crypto space” have very limited third party resources to assist them in making investment decisions. The vast majority of reviews or ratings of ICOs/STOs are highly subjective (often the opinion of one individual), and tainted by the fact that the reviewer/rater has been paid by the projects they are rating. This fundamentally flawed business model is the same as that which has had a considerable part to play in more than one financial collapse in the past few decades, and is so drastically misaligned with the ethos of transparency and decentralisation promoted by blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, as to be completely incompatible

The Ignite RATINGS model avoids any such conflicts by ensuring all interests are aligned – ratings become more impartial, more honest and more powerful through the collaboration of the crowd, while those looking to raise funding via token offerings are encouraged to be more transparent and more professional in their approach

In order to properly incentivise its community of raters, Ignite has established the Ignite INDEX. IGNT holders effectively become fund managers for the Ignite INDEX, as ratings generated by the Ignite RATINGS platform determine how and when the Index capital is deployed. In return for lending their wisdom to the Ignite INDEX, 50% of all trading gains is distributed back to the Ignite HIVE, while a minimum of 30% of all trading gains is reinvested into the Ignite INDEX, growing its deployable capital base
