Regarding Scorex, the underlying technology of Waves, here is what [Charles Hoskinson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-hoskinson-1a95a4b4) thinks of it:

> Scorex  is a toolkit to rapidly prototype new ideas and models for cryptocurrency development. Iohk's goal is to make scorex a pedagogical framework for universities and researchers to use to both teach students about cryptocurrencies and test new protocols quickly.

> They represented scorex as a solid platform to build a cryptocurrency on top of ( which it is not). 

> All of this does not change the fact that Waves currently has no product, does not have a stable governance structure, has no independent oversight of the project. They are using source code written by other people and in no way configured to do the things they have claimed.
