Listing of NAS token on exchanges
Product stage
The company already launched their testnet according to the schedule. Something that is unusual among ICO’s at a stage as early as this.
You can try a working demo of their NR (Nebulas Rank) sorting algorithm, similar in concept to the PageRank algorithm that was the cornerstone of Google Search.

Token usage
NAS is the native (utility) token of Nebulas, viable for payment of transaction fees and computing service charge.
Team
This ICO is founded by a super team. Founder Hitters Yu was the founder of Antshares (NEO), the founding director of Alibaba’s Blockchain Platform (through Ant Financial), and ex-Googler in Search & Anti-Fraud team.
All the other current employees former google members. 5 star team.
Opportunities
This ICO has the chance to become the google of a decentralized cryptoworld
Hard Cap is set at USD $60Million. Fixed. No Adjustments. 1 NAS = USD$2. This is a low hard cap for a project of this magnitude. Tokens can quickly multiply in value when they reach global exchanges.
ICO participation is restricted to registered investors only in a presale. There will not be a public token sale. Instead, any unsold tokens will be frozen for 3 years.
The team is very solid and experienced, and several of them have been involved with building the Google search engine. If anybody can pull of a search engine for the blockchain, it should be these guys.
Concerns
There might be other players who will try to build search engines for the blockchain, including Google or other parties entirely. It could however just as well be that Nebulas will be acquired by one of the big players.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this is one of the most exciting ICO’s we’ve seen this fall. This has all the requirements needed to become a very big business.
Flipping potential
For flipping, we’re very bullish on this ICO. Tokens will be distributed right after the presale, and listing on allcoin.com, bcex.ca, lbank.info, huobi.pro, and more is confirmed to be in early January. Big exchanges should follow shortly after that.
Since the hard cap is only $60m, and it’s hard to get allowance in the presale, there is a very good chance of this token increasing in value when it hits exchanges.
Long term potential
the potential is crazy, this is one of the projects that is very needed in this cryptospace, it could well be the Google for D’apps or smart projects
