About KICK ECOSYSTEM

KICK ECOSYSTEM operates as a comprehensive financial technology hub, offering a suite of synergistically interacting fintech tools. The company was founded in 2017 by Anti Danilevski, who serves as the CEO. Danilevski's journey into fundraising began in 2009 when he attempted to raise funds for his own mobile game on Kickstarter. Realizing the difficulties small developers faced, he was motivated to create his own fundraising platform, which evolved into KICKICO.

The ecosystem is designed as a "one-stop-shop" to cover a wide range of financial needs for the global crypto community. The business model revolves around providing an integrated environment for cryptocurrency users and developers. This includes a digital asset exchange (KickEX), a fundraising platform (KICKICO), and various other financial services. Revenue is generated through mechanisms such as trading fees on the KickEX exchange and fees for launching fundraising campaigns on the KICKICO platform. The platform caters to both cryptocurrency startups seeking to raise capital and token buyers interested in participating in these projects.

The core of the ecosystem is the KickToken (KICK), an ERC-20 token that functions as the central currency for all transactions within the platform. The product suite is extensive, featuring twelve distinct services. Key among these is **KICKICO**, a fundraising platform that supports both Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and Security Token Offerings (STOs). It provides startups with tools for securely running and marketing their token sales. Another major component is **KickEX**, an advanced-trading digital asset exchange. The ecosystem also includes **KICKID**, a unified login system; **KICKWALLET**, a multi-currency wallet with lite-exchange functionality; **KICKPAY**, a crypto payment gateway; **KICKREF**, a referral network; and **KICKMOBILE**, a mobile application, among others. A unique feature is the auction-based fundraising model known as AIO (Auction-based Initial Offering), where the token price is determined by user demand during an auction, aiming for a fairer pricing mechanism.
