BITFINEX TAKE CENTER STAGE
Bitfinex, the world’s largest and most advanced cryptocurrency trading platform, will be taking center stage at the event as the main speaker. Bitfinex appearance at the event strongly marks the ICO Race as a must-see on the crypto calendar, as the acclaimed digital asset trading platform is rarely involved with events of this nature.
Among the ICO Race sponsors, attendees can expect to have the chance of meeting several companies currently making strong leads in the crypto world including KPMG, Santiment, CryptoCompare, ParkinGo, Sgame and many more.
MEET WALLEM
ICO Race will also be the event of choice for the first public demonstration of Wallem, a Pokemon Go style game for the crypto world where users can walk around a city collecting crypto tokens.
An innovative mix of augmented reality, users will be battling to steal tokens from each other in an interactive, single or multiplayer game that is set to become the trending game for 2018.
The anticipated game will launch with Lugano as its founding city, from where the game will be expanded worldwide.
Eidoo CEO and ICO Race judge panellist, Thomas Bertani, says of the event:
“The ICO Race is an opportunity for up and coming ICOs to strengthen their chances of succeeding. For Eidoo, it’s extremely important for us to penetrate through the growing market of ICOs to ensure we support sincere and innovative ideas making the best use of token sales, a completely modern and decentralised concept. We’re very much looking forward to meeting and hearing from a multitude of teams with potential working relationships in mind.”
