Humanode Raises $2 Million Led by Republic Capital While the Testnet Hits 1,650 Unique Validators

February 10, 2022 – New York, New York


Humanode, the first crypto biometric network where one human equals one node, has successfully closed its $2 million seed round. Led by Republic Capital, the seed round was supported by institutions such as Tribe Capital, Blizzard – the Avalanche ecosystem fund, Wintermute, GravityX Capital, Shima Capital, Genblock, AU21 and StaFi, along with Polygon co-founders Jaynti Kanani and Sandeep Nailwal.

Humanode is the world’s first blockchain project to utilize a consensus mechanism based on crypto biometric identification to realize their goal of one human equals one node equals one vote to overcome various known issues in crypto economics and governance. Humanode has developed a layer one protocol that provides strong Sybil resistance through highly accurate private biometric algorithms in close cooperation with Facetec.

Alex Ye, managing partner of Republic Crypto, said,

“At the moment, crypto governance is a plutocratic nightmare fraught with whales and Sybil attacks. Humanode is laying the foundational infrastructure for robust, fully pseudonymous digital identities that will serve as a cornerstone of our increasingly immersive digital world.”

Dato Kavazi, co-founder of Humanode, said,

“Sybil attack is what stands between humanity and a completely new way of interaction with the world around us. It is not just a blockchain problem. Bots are a scourge of any high-level digital infrastructure, and we are here to get rid of them in a private and decentralized fashion.

By delivering a blockchain based on biometrically verified pseudonymous identities, we want to ensure that any systems built on top can be sure that nodes are unique, real, living and breathing human beings. Thank you, Republic and Alex Ye in particular, for having our back. Humanode welcomes everyone to join its endeavors and with rejuvenated strength, we press on forward into the untamed frontier of computer science.”

Humanode, which is scheduled to launch its mainnet in mid-2022, has recently launched the second version of its testnet platform. There were over 11,000 applications to become one of the world’s first human nodes (biometrically verified validator nodes), over 3,000 were invited to participate and had over 500 validator nodes running simultaneously.

Following the two-week closed beta for version two, the public open beta version of the software was released on December 23, 2021, and an additional 1,150 human nodes were launched, bringing the number of active unique validators to 1,650 as of February 10, 2022.

Victor Paradigm, co-founder of Humanode, said,

“What makes this testnet unique is that there is no incentive. People are joining because of the potential they see in the project and the change biometric-based Sybil-resistance can bring. I firmly believe that our supporters who have joined us in this round have felt the same possibilities in our project.

We are not just providing a ‘useful tool’ but [also] the means to revolutionize crypto infrastructure, decentralized finance, DAOs and metaverses by establishing a bond between you and your digital presence. We are going to run a few new experiments where digital assets and rights become soulbound already in March.”

Tejas A, general partner at GravityX Capital, said,

“Governance practices in DAOs are majorly focused on token-based quorum and have an extremely low threshold for voting. While various products are working on solving the problem, Humanode’s ‘one human equals one vote’ outlook is uniquely positioned and resonates with real-life voting – albeit in a decentralized and pseudonymous manner. It is only natural for DAOs/protocols to leverage the technology.”

Bilal Junaid, founder of Genblock Capital, said,

“We are thrilled to be working with the Humanode team as they challenge the conventional paradigm of blockchain technologies. Ambitious projects like Humanode at the forefront of innovation leave us rethinking our current understanding of the industry and further questioning our beliefs of where the industry will be in years to come.”

About Humanode

Humanode is the first crypto biometric network where one human equals one node that brings Sybil resistance and innovative governance models to the crypto industry using biometric technology.

Humanode is planning its public sale and mainnet launch in summer 2022.

Concordium Blockchain Officially Launches Its CCD Token on Bitfinex and BitGlobal

February 10, 2022 – Zug, Switzerland


Concordium, a public proof-of-stake blockchain with a built-in identification layer to meet the regulatory requirements, is thrilled to announce the official listing of its native CCD token on Bitfinex and BitGlobal, two leading crypto exchanges. Bitfinex is the first exchange where users can trade the CCD token, beginning at 9:00 AM UTC on February 10, 2022. Trading on BitGlobal will open on February 11, 2022 at 9:00 AM UTC.

Founded in 2012, Bitfinex is one of the world’s oldest crypto trading platforms. It offers a suite of highly advanced and diversified trading features, charting tools and unparalleled support. BitGlobal is designed to enable every user to trade, participate or contribute to the digital assets ecosystem with ease. It offers a user-friendly digital asset ecosystem with increased liquidity and tighter security measures of international standards.

Both Bitfinex and BitGlobal users will be able to trade CCD against BTC, ETH and USDT. The exchanges will initially support only spot trading of the token at launch. In the near future, Concordium intends on bringing CCD to more exchanges, thereby increasing the liquidity of the CCD and enabling wider utilization of the CCD.

As the native token of the Concordium platform, CCD is key to interacting with the blockchain. It can be used as a means of payment on applications using the Concordium technology as well as paying transaction fees to the validator nodes that process transactions and secure the network. These fees are deterministic, known in advance and stable in Euro-terms. The CCD token will also power the vibrant ecosystems built on Concordium, with a special focus on regulated DeFi, decentralized fintech and innovation.

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority has classified CCD as a payment token, meaning it is suitable to be used for on-chain settlement of transactions, collateralization and all other use cases applicable in decentralized finance (DeFi).

The Concordium Foundation will develop and implement a fair governance structure that allows the project to evolve over time. It means that CCD holders will ultimately have on-chain voting powers in Concordium’s decentralized governance.

About Concordium

Concordium is a public proof-of-stake layer one blockchain with a unique ID layer at the protocol level to ease regulatory compliance. Science-proven, Concordium has deployed a unique smart contract environment with a fungible and non-fungible token standard.

Romanian Cryptocurrency Platform Tradesilvania.com Appoints Mihaela Drăgoiu, Former Head of Supervision and Control Directorate of FIU Romania (ONPCSB) As the New Risk and Regulatory Affairs Director

February 9, 2022 – Cluj-Napoca, Romania


Tradesilvania, the premium platform for cryptocurrency and digital asset investments, has announced the expansion of the company’s compliance and management team by appointing Mihaela Anamaria Drăgoiu as the new risk and regulatory affairs director.

Mihaela Anamaria Drăgoiu is the former head of the prevention, supervision and control directorate of FIU Romania (ONPCSB), with over 20 years of experience in the institution.

She has been involved in developing the legal framework (primary and secondary legislation) in the field, including the act 129/2019 – which after the amendments of governmental emergency ordinance 111/2020 sets out the legal requirements for the authorization and registration of digital wallet providers and the providers of crypto exchange services as reporting entities.

During the same period, Mihaela Anamaria Drăgoiu was a member and an FIU Romania representative in the commission for the authorization of currency exchange operations within the Romanian Ministry of Finance.

Mihaela Anamaria Drăgoiu attended – together with different state institutions, AML/CFT supervision and regulatory authorities – many national and international AML/CTF projects and activities, such as the evaluation process regarding the implementation of the fourth directive on combating money laundering (EU) 2015/849 in Romania conducted by the European Commission in collaboration with experts of the Council of Europe.

Implementation of the project was financed by the European Commission regarding the risk assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing at the national level, and the negotiations related to the package of legislative proposals on AML/ CFT (AML package) launched by the European Commission in July 2021.

Mihaela Anamaria Drăgoiu will help Tradesilvania’s team to further develop and adjust the company’s legal compliance framework to the newest legal requirements in Romania and the European Union. With more than 21 years of regulatory experience acquired within the Romanian Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Drăgoiu will contribute to the constant effort of our company to develop its risk management framework and the KYV/KYT elements for digital assets.

Her participation in the development of laws on the prevention of money laundering in Romania and its synchronization with the European legal framework facilitates the dialogue between the company and relevant authorities.

Ciprian Dobrescu, CEO of Tradesilvania, said,

“Attracting the best compliance experts in our company is a natural step for us. Tradesilvania’s mission is to develop together, with the local financial institutions and experienced external partners, a modern digital financial infrastructure in a safe environment where good practices of both emerging industries and classical financial systems are applied. Democratization of the Romanians’ access to the cryptocurrency market requires close collaboration between the two domains.

“Drăgoiu’s outstanding experience will help us to continuously improve the compliance standards in the Romanian cryptocurrency industry. We are continuously evolving our platform to offer digital services that meet both our clients’ needs and the authorities’ and regulators’ requirements to become a main partner in the blockchain infrastructure in Romania.”

Mihaela Anamaria Drăgoiu, risk and regulatory affairs director of Tradesilvania, said,

“I am thrilled to join the Tradesilvania team and to continue together with the development of the compliance framework in the context of innovative accelerated growth of blockchain services in Romania. The cryptocurrency market poses specific compliance challenges that require constant communication with the financial environment, along with the continuous development of the internal and external regulatory framework. Our goal is to support the long-term dialogue with the state institutions and to be a provider of free education to all the participants in the digital asset market in Romania and the European Union.”

Pocket Network Growth Up 80% MoM to 9.5 Billion Relays Due to Industry Demand

February 8, 2022 – Tampa, Florida


100x YoY increase in daily relays (API calls) administered over a decentralized node infrastructure worth over $550 million.

Pocket Network – a relay infrastructure middleware protocol that provides abundant blockchain bandwidth from a globally-distributed network of over 27,000 full nodes to applications in web 3.0 across 37 blockchains including Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Fuse and Harmony – reports a surge in demand with a record of 9.5 billion relays serviced in the month of January, up over 80% from the previous month. This achievement results in a remarkable 100x increase in daily relays within just one year.

This surge was shown throughout January when several single-day relay all-time high records were achieved, oftentimes consecutively. Pocket Network currently stands at a record of 359 million relays in 24 hours and is on track to breaking the one billion relays a day milestone by the end of 2022 as new blockchains and app integrations continue to switch to the decentralized global infrastructure Pocket Network provides.

Michael O’Rourke, CEO and founder of Pocket Network, said,

“Exponential growth in one area feeds into a flywheel of growth in the Pocket Network ecosystem. More relays means more incentives, which leads to even more nodes spinning up. A stronger network breeds trust from new apps, and the cycle repeats again. At this rate, Pocket Network is on track to support 100 blockchains by the end of this year.”

With its sustained growth, Pocket is proving that the demand for decentralized web 3.0 infrastructure exists. This demand is agnostic to market conditions and will continue to be a mainstay in a bear or bull market. In addition, liquidity channels will open up as its protocol becomes more undeniable in terms of industry utility, where they are replacing middlemen with middleware and where they continue to eat up the inherent inefficiencies in the current way the crypto industry is supported by cloud computing and hosting providers. Being cheaper, faster and better has been the winning formula to Pocket’s scale and dominance.

About Pocket Network

Pocket Network, a blockchain data ecosystem for web 3.0 applications, is a platform built for applications that uses cost-efficient economics to coordinate and distribute data at scale. It enables seamless and secure interactions between blockchains and across applications. With Pocket, the use of blockchains can be simply integrated into websites, mobile apps, IoT and more, giving developers the freedom to put blockchain enabled applications into the ‘pocket’ of every mainstream consumer.

ssv.network Collects $10 Million To Ramp Up Decentralized Staking Infrastructure for ETH 2.0

February 8, 2022 – Tel Aviv, Israel


ssv.network, the open-source and decentralized protocol that simplifies access to decentralized ETH staking, has collected $10 million to ramp up decentralized staking infrastructure for ETH 2.0.

ssv.network launched a DAO partner program in October 2021 with the objective of enlarging its community and strengthening DAO partnerships. Initially, it was made of individuals and experienced technical users, with industry leaders and key personalities from the POS space joining the growing SSV ecosystem.

ssv.network, based on the secret-shared-validator (SSV) research – later dubbed DVT – is the first protocol that enables anyone a secure way to split a validator key between non-trusting nodes (or operators).

The technology relies on a network of nodes that operate under consensus to help generate ETH rewards for stakers. ssv.network facilitates trustless access to ETH staking, providing robustness and stability to the staking space while promoting client diversification and Ethereum’s decentralization. ssv.network received an Ethereum Foundation (EF) grant and developed a working proof of concept with the foundation. The EF later labeled  SSV technology under distributed validator technology (DVT), a key element of its roadmap for ETH 2.0.

This technology is the key to solving the fundamental issues for existing staking providers, large centralized exchanges and even highly technical at-home validators, providing them with the infrastructure and stability needed to develop liquid staking protocols or delegation services, staking pools and more on Ethereum 2.0.

In most cases, service providers rely on trusted validators who custody the private validator key owned by the user. A decentralized staking model is particularly necessary for liquid staking protocols and staking pools, which in many cases compromise on decentralization for the sake of offering a superior user experience. ssv.network will enable liquid staking pools and DeFi protocols an easy and simple access point to decentralized ETH staking.

Given the enormous popularity of ETH staking and the upcoming ‘merge,’ ssv.network has positioned itself as the layer zero of Ethereum – decentralizing and systematizing staking on the infrastructure level – similarly to how layer two solutions do this for scalability.

Thanks to the enormous promise of the technology, ssv.network added a number of strong partners during its first and second batch of the DAO partner program, which is still ongoing. This adds to an effort to incentivize large ETH stakers to join the SSV DAO.

So far the network has partnered with Digital Currency Group, Coinbase, Lukka and others like Gate.io Ventures, OKEX Ventures, DSRV, Lead Capital, NGC Ventures and Forbole, with more in the pipeline. ssv.network has also onboarded many ecosystem partners including Allnodes, Everstake, DAppNode, Blockscape, Valid Blocks, Chainlayer.io, RockX, Shardlabs, Stakin, AMBER, BloxStaking, Infstones and Skillz, with more companies, key figures and grants lined up to join.

Alon Muroch, core contributor at ssv.network, said,

“We identified DV technology at a very early stage as a critical component in Ethereum’s transition to ETH 2.0. It is incredible to see the level of adoption and participation at such an early stage in the network’s life cycle. ETH staking and DeFi will be some of crypto’s core themes in 2022, and both segments will benefit tremendously from decentralizing Ethereum’s security layer, which we call layer zero. 2021 was the year of layer two, [and] 2022 is set to become the year of layer zero.”

About ssv.network

ssv.network is a fully decentralized open-source ETH staking network based on secret-shared-validator (SSV) technology. The network provides an open and simple infrastructure for anyone who wants to run a distributed Ethereum validator – from ‘do-it-yourself’ users, all the way to staking pools and big institutional staking services. All while enabling non-custodial, decentralized validators to power the next generation of staking derivatives and services.

Kryptomon and Binance NFT Mystery Box Sale Event – Round Two Confirmed

February 5, 2022 – Amsterdam, Netherlands


Kryptomon returns to Binance NFT for a second round of its famous NFT eggs sale.

Kryptomon, a rising star in the world of NFT ‘play-and-earn crypto’ gaming industry, has unveiled its second collaboration with the world’s popular NFT marketplace Binance NFT.

2,500 mystery boxes – each containing a Kryptomon egg – will be up for grabs in an exclusive sale event for Binance users only. Binance NFT is one of the most well-known and trusted names in the crypto space. It was the overwhelming demand for Kryptomon eggs from these Binance users that catapulted Kryptomon to fame when the first Kryptomon x Binance NFT collaboration of 2,000 mystery boxes sold out in a fraction of a second (0.27 seconds to be exact).

[embedded content]

Event details

On February 8, 2022, 2,500 mystery boxes will be available on the Binance NFT marketplace at exactly 11:00 AM UTC. Each user will be able to purchase up to five mystery boxes with a fixed price of $95 in BUSD per box.

The sale will be conducted in a first-come-first-served selling format and will last only for a short period of 12 hours. However, given the upcoming release of two of their play-to-earn mechanisms – ‘Breeding Season’ and ‘Quests’ – on February 15, 2022, it is expected that the sale will be even more popular than the first. So, if you’re planning on snagging yourself a Kryptomon NFT, be sure to be on time once the sale is open to the public.

Finally, while most of the mystery boxes will contain a ‘generation 10 Kryptomon’ (the latest Kryptomon NFT generation), the Kryptomon company has confirmed that 10% of the mystery boxes will contain Kryptomons from previous generations.

One lucky winner will even walk away with the ultimate prize – a generation zero Kryptomon of which only 100 will ever exist. Given its scarcity, this makes each one a rare commodity that has recently commanded prices of 72.45 BNB (approximately $26,700 at time of writing) on the secondhand trading market – not a bad flip for an initial investment of $95.

About Binance NFT Marketplace

Binance NFT Marketplace offers an open market for artists, creators, crypto enthusiasts, NFT collectors and creative fans around the world with the best liquidity and minimal fees. Consisting of two parts – premium events and a marketplace – Binance NFT features valuable collectibles and an easily accessible trading market for all of its users.

For creators and artists’ collaboration, email here.

About Kryptomon

Kryptomon is an NFT play-and-earn blockchain game, where Pokémon meets Tamagotchi and CryptoKitties. Breed, train and fight with your NFT Kryptomon. It’s a new world where trainers can live a new adventure on the blockchain.

Set in the Kryptomon metaverse, community members play as ‘trainers’ of their own individual monsters Kryptomons – each of which is a completely unique digital asset connected to an NFT. Each has a unique but mutable genetic code made up of 38 randomized parameters that determine all of the aspects – physical and behavioral – of the creature.

This not only ensures that each Kryptomon is unique but also brings to life each Kryptomon as a digital companion in the Kryptomon metaverse. They are capable of learning, falling sick, getting hungry and protecting their trainers when out on an adventure in the physical world. In turn, trainers will have to care for, feed and train their Kryptomon partners in order to grow and prepare for the battles ahead.

Kryptomon creates the next step in the evolution of crypto gaming by using advanced blockchain technologies, digital genetics and location-based technologies.

So, what are you waiting for?

Play and participate in the Kryptomon league to become the Kryptomon metaverse champion.

Crypto Portfolio Tracking Apps You Should Have on Your Phone in 2022


Whether you have been in the cryptocurrency space for a few years, a few months or even a few days, you’ve probably already witnessed how volatile cryptocurrency prices can be. Plus, with cryptocurrency being so decentralized, you probably have multiple wallets all over the place each containing a portion of your cryptocurrency portfolio.

The volatility in cryptocurrency prices and multiple wallets with cryptocurrency assets make it very difficult to keep track of the performance of your entire cryptocurrency portfolio. With this being the case, a cryptocurrency portfolio tracker is just the tool you need to watch how your entire portfolio performs – no matter how many cryptocurrency wallets you have or platforms you use.

In this article, we will take a look at some of the cryptocurrency portfolio tracker applications available in the market.

What is a cryptocurrency portfolio tracker?

A cryptocurrency portfolio tracker is a website or application that allows you to manage your investments and keep track of the price changes of all the coins in your portfolio.

To achieve this, trackers link to all of your cryptocurrency wallets and exchange accounts to give you an overall perspective of how your cryptocurrency portfolio is performing across the different platforms. Cryptocurrency portfolio trackers are ideal for large-scale traders who have more than three coins that they actively trade in their portfolio.

Now that we have taken a look at what a cryptocurrency portfolio tracker is, let’s take a look at some of the available options in the market.

Cryptocurrency trackers you need

There are quite a few options to choose from when looking at the available cryptocurrency portfolio trackers in the market. These are the apps that we think every crypto investor needs to have on their smartphone. So, we’ll take a look at some of the best options as well as some key features that will determine the best one for you.

CoinTracker

The first cryptocurrency portfolio tracker on the list is CoinTracker. CoinTracker offers a wide array of services within their cryptocurrency portfolio tracker including automated portfolio tracking for over 300 exchanges and over 8,000 cryptocurrencies, as well as tax reporting and cost basis accounting methods that help you tax-loss harvest your portfolio and save on your cryptocurrency portfolio taxes.

Registration

All of the CoinTracker services can be accessed through their website or through their mobile app, which is available for both the iOS and Android operating systems. The platform is ideal for any cryptocurrency investor – from beginner to expert.

To get started, simply sign up on their website or mobile app. You will then receive an email from them wanting you to confirm your email address. Once you have confirmed your email address, you’re all set up and ready to start tracking your cryptocurrency portfolio.

The next step that you will need to complete is adding your wallets to CoinTracker. This process is also relatively simple as all you need to do to add a wallet is input your wallet’s public key and specify the wallet type (i.e., MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase, etc.) Once done, you will be able to view all of your wallet balances from the CoinTracker platform.

Pricing

CoinTracker does offer a free tier option. However, their free tier is fairly limited as you can only add a maximum of five wallets to the tracker and won’t have access to all of the services available on the platform.

To unlock the full suite of services that the CoinTracker platform has to offer, you will need to choose between one of their paid subscriptions. Apart from the free tier that is automatically activated on sign-up, other subscription options are ‘enthusiast,’ ‘pro’ and ‘custom.’

Each subscription package allows you to connect to more wallets as well as unlock more of the available services the higher you go up the tier level. For example, the pro subscription gives you priority support and tax-loss harvesting.

The cost for each of the paid subscriptions is a monthly cost and can range from approximately $16 per month for the enthusiast subscription, all the way up to $113 per month for the pro subscription package. There is also a custom option offered that is priced according to your individual needs and portfolio.

Summary

According to reviews, the performance of the free tier platform is not up to standards. This could be to incentivize people to purchase a paid subscription. Also, you are only able to link up to five wallets to the CoinTracker platform on the free tier.

This might be adequate for someone just holding between one and three cryptocurrency coins on a handful of wallets but is not ideal for seasoned cryptocurrency investors who average several wallets across many different platforms each.

Although the tax service offered by the CoinTracker team leaves the stress of handling your cryptocurrency taxes with them and not you, the service can be quite costly as you are charged on a per-transaction and per-cryptocurrency basis.

Once again, this may be adequate enough for a cryptocurrency investor who is just buying and holding between one and three coins for the long term – but not ideal for someone who transacts to different platforms on an ongoing basis. Lastly, there have been several complaints that CoinTracker’s user interface is outdated.

TradingView

Although TradingView is focused more on a market rather than a portfolio, it is still a great tool for professional cryptocurrency investors and can complement any cryptocurrency portfolio tracker if used correctly. Investors can access a variety of cryptocurrency trade-related resources including live streams from other cryptocurrency traders, trade articles, trade ideas and so much more. These resources can be accessed through TradingView’s website or the mobile app that is available for both Android and iOS.

Registration and pricing

The sign-up process is also very simple. A downfall of TradingView, apart from not having a cryptocurrency portfolio tracker, is that all of the resources available on TradingView are not available in the free tier. To access the full range of resources you will need to pay a monthly subscription of $59 per month.

Summary

The platform is really only ideal for professional cryptocurrency traders and investors, investors with programming experience and traders who want minute-by-minute updates. Other than offering a few additional investment resources, TradingView is not suited for the novice cryptocurrency investor unless you pay the monthly subscription to access the full list of available resources.

NOWTracker

Last but definitely not least on the list is NOWTracker. NOWTracker is an innovative new cryptocurrency portfolio tracker and is the brainchild of ChangeNOW – a non-custodial cryptocurrency exchange service. What separates NOWTracker from any other cryptocurrency portfolio tracker is that it gives you a wide list of services and great features – all at no cost.

These services and features include the ability to track over 7,000 cryptocurrency assets – both on centralized and decentralized exchanges – and a unique backup feature that allows you to restore your portfolio tracker on another device, as well as a state-of-the-art simplistic user interface. All of these features can be accessed through their mobile app on both Android and iOS devices.

Registration

No registration is required to start using NOWTracker. It’s simple to start connecting your existing wallets and managing your crypto portfolio.

Another great piece of functionality available on NOWTracker is the ability to connect to a vast list of exchanges as well. This way, you won’t need to enter each trade or transaction that you make on an exchange manually – NOWTracker will just read all of your latest activity on the exchange.

Don’t worry, this is completely secure as the platform only uses read-only access. So, it can’t place trades or perform withdrawals and deposits on your account. Apart from keeping track of your exchange activity, NOWTracker can also keep track of your wallet activity in real-time using block explorers.

To add wallets and exchanges, simply enter the public key of your cryptocurrency wallet as well as a bit more information regarding the wallet, and NOWTracker will begin tracking your wallet activity.

The great thing is that you are not limited to how many wallets you can connect to NOWTracker. To add an exchange connection, you will need to create a read-only API key on the exchange platform that you want to connect to and enter this API key into NOWTracker when creating an exchange connection.

Pricing and summary

There is no payment required to use NOWTracker. The services include automatic and manual tracking as well as for analytics.

Being the brainchild of the ChangeNOW cryptocurrency exchange ecosystem, NOWTracker can connect with other products in the ecosystem including NOWPayments, NOWWallet, NOWNodes, etc. Also, the team is very responsive to the community and is constantly updating the app according to user feedback.

To recap

A cryptocurrency portfolio tracker is an essential tool for any cryptocurrency investor to keep track of the overall performance of their cryptocurrency portfolio across multiple platforms. In this article, we have reviewed three tools that can be useful for portfolio tracking and management. To choose one, here is a closer look at the main features like registration process, availability on preferred OS and a potential budget.
