The jury of experts who will decide who to reward, is composed of <strong>Lars Schlichting<\/strong>, partner of <strong>Kellerhals-Carrard<\/strong>, <strong>Thomas Bertani<\/strong>, CEO of <strong>Eidoo<\/strong> and founder of <strong>Oraclize<\/strong>, <strong>Paolo Ardoino<\/strong>, CTO of <strong>Bitfinex<\/strong>, <strong>Federico Tosato<\/strong>, founder of ADM Ventures, <strong>Anna Palmina<\/strong>, managing director of Palmina Ivest and <strong>Marc P. Bernegger<\/strong>, member Advisory Board of Cryptofinance Group. During this day, these judges will hold talks about the status of the crypto, with speech titled &#8220;The global state of ICO&#8221;, &#8221; Crypto Bubble vs Debt Bubble &#8220;, and &#8220;From the homeland of Banks to the Crypto&#8217;s homeland&#8221; to give the evening even more content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wallem, the presentation of the app for the first time<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother reason why this ICO Race becomes an unmissable event is the presentation of <strong>Wallem<\/strong>, a new app similar to <strong>Pokemon Go<\/strong> but to capture tokens. &#8220;Wallem is a <strong>catch n &#8216;snatch<\/strong> in augmented reality. In practice, players can collect (catch) the tokens they find on the territory and steal them (snatch) from each other, using their device in AR + at close range. To capture the token of others and defend their own, they need strategy, special items, experience and teamwork &#8220;, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonomist.ch\/blockchain\/interviste\/ecco-wallem-il-gioco-per-andare-a-caccia-di-crypto\/\">explained Andrea Bempensante<\/a>, CPO of Wallem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to participate as ICO<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the requirements to participate in the event as ICO is the launch of this by the end of 2018. To ensure that the startups that submit an application meet all the requirements, as mentioned above, there is a team of experts who select them reading their whitepaper, seeing who works there and which problem is going to be solved by the project. Obviously, at the event you can also participate as a simple spectator. For this purpose, tickets can be purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/icorace.ch\/tickets\/\">here<\/a>. This is an unmissable opportunity to get to know the best ICOs of the near future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How the prizes work<\/strong><br \/>\nThe ICO winner will receive $ 600,000, in addition to being listed on one of the most important exchanges in the world. The second qualified will win $ 300,000 + $ 100,000 discount on <strong>ICO Engine<\/strong> products, one of the event&#8217;s sponsors. Finally, the third step of the podium will win $ 100,000 + $ 100,000 discount to launch the own token salt using ICO Engine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ICO Race, main sponsor is Eidoo<br \/>\n<\/strong>The official sponsor of the event is <a href=\"https:\/\/icoengine.net\/\">ICO Engine<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/eidoo.io\/\">Eidoo<\/a> platform to launch ICO.
