The system of initial coin offerings is a boon to developers who have unique ideas in mind. However, there are incidents of scammers taking advantage of the system to loot the unsuspecting individuals who jump into new issues without have a look at the white paper.
To safeguard investors’ interests, Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum creator, proposed a fund raising model named “DAICO”. Now, a Russian gaming company Abyss will commence its token sale between March 7 and April 7, 2018. Notably, the gaming company is going to use an improved DAICO model suggested by Vitalik Buterin.
What is DAICO?
According to Vitalik Buterin, a DAICO contract is published by a single development team that wishes to raise funds for a project. The DAICO contract starts off in “contribution mode”, specifying a mechanism by which anyone can contribute ETH to the contract, and get tokens in exchange. This could be a capped sale, an uncapped sale, a dutch auction, an interactive coin offering, a KYC’d sale with dynamic per-person caps, or whatever other mechanism the team chooses. Once the contribution period ends, the ability to contribute ETH stops, and the initial token balances are set; from there on the tokens can become tradeable.
After the contribution period, the contract has one major state variable: tap (units: wei / sec), initialized to zero. The tap determines the amount per second that the development team can take out of the contract.
There is also a mechanism by which the token holders can vote on resolutions. There are two types of resolutions:
- Raising the tap
- Permanently self-destructing the contract (or, more precisely, putting the contract into withdraw mode where all remaining ETH can be proportionately withdrawn by the token holders).
The intention is that the voters start off by giving the development team a reasonable and not-too-high monthly budget, and raise it over time as the team demonstrates its ability to competently execute with its existing budget. If the voters are very unhappy with the development team’s progress, they can always vote to shut the DAICO down entirely and get their money back.

The Abyss Token Sale is an advanced and improved DAICO model, allowing token holders to control the fund withdrawal limit, also providing an option to vote for the refund of the remaining contributed money in case the team fails to implement the project, with Oracles (appointed industry leaders) acting as arbitrators.
