Allowing you unique insights into the cryptocurrency market

The Evai.io Story

Evai is unveiling two pioneering approaches to cryptocurrency investment. The first is the Evai ERC20 token that is available for investors to purchase and will also be used to reward developers who support the evolution of our unique ratings system.

The ultimate objective of the Evai business is to deliver an unbiased ratings system that is fit for purpose in an environment of rapidly advancing technology. It was conceived in response to the failure of financial ratings in the run up to and following the 2008 financial crisis.

How does Evai.io work?

The Evai.io unbiased crypto ratings system is called 'The Bridge' and will generate ratings based on 6 core criteria,
which will be underpinned by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to optimise the ratings.

Liquidity
An important consideration when investing in any type of asset, liquidity is especially important for assets that are actively traded. Liquidity is a measure of the ability to transfer assets to cash at a particular price. Following the 2008 financial crisis it became apparent that investors must be aware of the liquidity characteristics of assets as an integral part of risk assessment.
Systematic Risk
Refers to the risk inherent to the entire market or market segment, not just a particular asset or industry. This type of risk is both unpredictable and impossible to completely avoid but is an important metric to consider in relation to overall risk.
Profitability
Profitability index (PI) is the ratio of payoff to investment of a proposed project. It is a useful tool for ranking projects because it allows you to quantify the amount of value created per unit of investment.

Momentum
Refers to the rate of acceleration of a security's price or volume—that is, the speed at which the price is changing. Simply put, it quantifies the rate of change on price movements for a particular asset and is usually defined as a rate.
Peak to End Value Demand
Aggregate demand consists of two constituents, consumption demand and investment demand. Since the consumption function is more or less stable in the short run, investment demand is of crucial importance in the determination of value. Investors care about the last value and the peak of an asset over a certain time period. This is the peak end investment.
Investment
To invest is to allocate money in the expectation of some benefit in the future. In order to make useful comparisons, all of those metrics detailed above need to be weighted and combined in the optimal way to maximise returns. This is an evolving process that is best handled using artificially intelligent algorithms.

Evai use case

What Is Evai?

The EVAI token is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 standard token built upon a turing complete smart contract. By conforming to the ERC20 token standard, the EVAI token is compatible with existing Ethereum infrastructure, such as wallets and exchanges.
How is Evai different to existing ratings methods?

Evai’s ground breaking model has been developed from a synthesis of academic research and financial market experience. We take standard methods that have been tried and tested in the real world of investment and trading and adapt them for the new assets that have emerged.

We start from the belief that all assets provide a return as a compensation for taking risk. We have identified multiple risk factors that we will measure for each of the crypto assets that we evaluate.

Additional factors and indicators will be tested by Evai’s in-house research team and added to the model upon successful results. The multi-factor model will continually evolve as we seek to improve the accuracy and refine the ratings process further.

AI Description

Artificial Intelligence will be used to select and combine indicators with optimal weights to determine the greatest accuracy of each risk factor. The AI software will run daily tests on all indicators, selecting the most efficient with results recorded.

ML Description

Machine learning techniques will be implemented to assess the daily test results and modify the parameters of the AI software. The tweaking of the multi-factor model’s selection criteria will continuously improve the overall accuracy over time.
How does Evai reward innovation?

Evai encourages the engagement of token holders and developers.

Holders are rewarded for supporting positive upgrades that are ultimately adopted. Developers are incentivised for their ideas and contributions or for market intelligence. In this way rating algorithms will be continually upgraded with gradual incremental improvements in an evolutionary fashion.
Evai is unbiased

Evai remains decentralised through the use of complex algorithms and artificial intelligence running the multi-factor model in an open source autonomous manner without human intervention.
