Project Selection Criteria

It consists of the analysis of the most critical business metrics and other factors, including (but not limited to):

1. The core team’s background, experience, and competences;

2. Product and technology, value proposition and development roadmap;

3. The size of the market and competitive landscape;

4. Business model, tokenomics and token metrics;

5. Funding history and the quality of the captable;

6. Pre-IDO traction, including size and quality of core community in leading social media channels.

Go-to-market strategy: after this analysis, we prepare the comprehensive internal report with the due diligence results, which we use to make the second shortlisting of the projects with the most robust performance. In the last step, we supply this shortlist for review to our Sourcing Circle to get feedback and a final decision.

The Scaleswap Sourcing Circle consists of key stakeholders with a real long-term vision for Scaleswap and brings their unbiased expertise, experience, and network to the table. There are processes in place on how members can be elected with periodic partner reviews based on their contribution to the success of the Scaleswap mission with according metrics.

After the initial evaluation by the core team etc. we provide the potential pipeline of the projects toward the community and let them vote for the projects. They have final decision power. If less than 10% voted, our sourcing team would exclude the project from future IDO.
