# **Etherparty Analysis: The Verdict**
####
For the analysis of Etherparty, I will be posting several smaller parts where I focus on one thing, such as: project, team, funding, road map, et cetera. By doing this, I can get the information to you faster so that we can have discussion sooner. In addition, I think the posts will be easier to read. After releasing all the parts, I will also post the entire analysis and a summary.

I have finished all parts and now it's time for the conclusion!
#### **Project**
✔ Brings smart contracts to the masses
✔ Built on the Ethereum network
#### **Token**
✗ Only needed for buying Etherparty services
✗ Etherparty could just charge ETH instead of FUEL
✗ Token likely created to get more funding
#### **Road map**
✔ Potentially on schedule for mainnet release in Q1 2018
✗ Not clear where the team currently is in terms of progress
✗ Important milestones are missing from road map
✗ Lack of details
#### **Team**
✔ Relatively large team, including a decent number of developers
✗ Advisors are listed under team, making it look bigger than it really is
✗ The team is largely (potentially completely) from Vanbex group
✗ Unclear how much time Vanbex allocates to the Etherparty project
#### **Funding**
✔ Backed by Seed funding from Vanbex
#### **Economics**
✔ Hard cap
✗ FUEL tokens received by Etherparty could potentially instantly be resold on the market
✗ Etherparty has not released any strategy with regards to FUEL obtained from users
✗ Tokens are never removed from the supply
#### **Competitors**
✔ Number of competitors seems to be limited
✔ Etherparty seems to be ahead for now
#### **Conclusion**
Taking the above into consideration, I will not be making any investments in FUEL. While I have a lot of confidence that Etherparty as a project will succeed, I don't think this will translate into gains for its token investors. Etherparty might sell a lot of subscriptions, but this will not necessarily translate into a high price for the FUEL token. In addition, some critical information to assess the progress and economics of the token seem to be missing or withheld.
*Note that the above are my personal views only and not investment advice. It is meant for information purposes only.*

Do you have any investments in FUEL?
Will you be investing in FUEL in the future?
Let me know in the comments!

That concludes the Etherparty series! I will soon release the full post and a small summary in case the parts were still too long.
