Effect.ai project is a decentralized network for artificial intelligence on top of NEO blockchain.

Product & Roadmap

Q2 2018

  • Galaxy Pool
  • Phase 1 - EFFECT Mechanical Turk

Q1 2019

  • Phase 2 - EFFECT Smart Market

Q4 2019

  • Phase 3 - EFFECT Power

Although they have a long roadmap, with almost two years, there in not so much detail on it. Would be nice some more information in terms of dates for the alpha, beta and stable releases. Also there is not business and marketing related dates, like events and other strategies for growth and user acquisition.

Galaxy Pool:

  • It’s a “complex” mechanism created to increase the liquidity and stability of the platform
  • The pool is a mix of EFX and G-EFX tokens
  • G-EFX can be bought on the Galaxy pool but they can’t be sold. They need to be spent using the Effect.AI Service Contract
  • This discourage day trading and market manipulation

Team:

  • 14 Members
  • 8 of them in Tech Positions (Avg 5+ years)
