✅ What is Themis Network ?

📌 Idea 8.5/10:
Themis Network, a decentralized “Alipay” or “Paypal” is solving a huge real world problem. In China cryptocurrency trading and ICO investing is banned. The only way to trade your crypto’s in China is by using platforms such as WeChat to get in contact with each other and trade your assets this way. This opens yourself up to getting scammed, and this is where Themis Network comes into play. They will provide a decentralized Trusted Third-Party escrow service. There’s a huge demand in China for this that’d allow people to trade cryptocurrency without the risk of getting scammed. Themis will support OTC (over the counter) transactions of digital currencies, and it can provide secure escrow service for cryptographic digital currencies based on blockchain.

📌 Key features of Themis Network:

✅ Fair exchange via Group Escrow: Basicly both parties receive the other party’s goods/assets or neither do. Themis also comes up with a secure exchange protocol based on group escrow to avoid the single point of failure issue and DOS attacks.

✅ Anonymous Reputation Mechanism: The reputation mechanism of Themis can finish the calculation of reputation anonymously. Basicly this mechanism can decide wether a user should be rewarded or punished.

✅ Non-interactive zero knowledge proof: It ensures the secret shares offered by each parties of the transactions in group escrow protocol is true.

📌 Wei Xin CSO - Formerly Senior Software Engineer in AsiaInfo

The team has a total of 22 members, but some of the team members based in China are not listed to protect themselves from the Chinese government.

📌 Token metrics 8.5/10: 22.000 ETH is really low for such an idea and new blockchain. There is 50% for token sale, 20% to team, 10% to research, 10% to business development and 10% to community (airdrops/referrals/marketing).

📌 Roadmap 8.0/10: They have finished a MVP version in December 2017 already. In March they haven already done a test of the decentralized escrow service and test run of Themis OTC platform. The testnet will launch in June 2018 and mainnet launch including token swap is scheduled for October 2018.

📌 Utility of the token: The purpose of the token is to pay fees for using the escrow services and arbitration services provided by Themischain peers. If Themischain peers participate in arbitration, they earn GETs aswell. This however is not seen as a security. Themis have stated that you only earn fees if you provide escrow and arbitration services. According to their attorneys its designed to be utility as there is no expectation of profits for token holders. The token should rise in value when there is more adoption for it. There should be more than enough adoption since the demand for a service like this is huge in China.

📌 Partners & investors 8.0/10:

📌 Strengths & opportunities: They have a strong team with a great idea and an untapped market as they have no direct competitors. The demand is huge for the service that Themis Network will bring.

📌 Weaknesses & theats: Since China has banned fiat-crypto trading and OTC trading, China might try to ban Themis Network aswell. However since the Themis Network will be decentralized, banning something like this would be close to impossible, if possible at all. Some members of Themis Network are not listed on the site aswell to protect themselves from the Chinese government.
