In this case 55% available at the moment scriptaction are essentially centralized projects and 30% – partially centralized. So really decentralized in the ecosystem can be considered to be about 15% of scriptaction.
Among the ways of distribution of tokens is the most popular, according to the findings CryptoCompare are public sales (41%), while the ICO prefer a 3% private placement – 6% and remaining – 1% of the projects.
