To explain this better, I’m going to use the live Blocklancer ICO as an example of a great project with tons of ratings from the community.

The image above is the most recent image I have from the Blocklancer ICO page, indicating they already have 13,022 registered users and is in ‘early bird’ stage of the crowdsale. Something I want to mention, Blocklancer is one of the most reviewed ICO’s I have seen to date. In the image above, you can see three popular ICO ratings websites, but also take a look at the image below:

A lot of ratings, huh? These ICO rating platforms/websites are extremely important as the ICO space continues to boom because there are a lot of fraudulent projects out there just trying to take your money.

Below are links to each of the rating pages in the image above so that you can scan through them to get a better understanding of what the ICO Listing websites are about. Some have their detailed ratings and each metric that was used for the rating with an explanation of why it is important to a Blockchain Technologyproject—I’ve included their Alexa rating so you have an idea which gets the most traffic too:

• ICOBench—12,072
• ICORating—30,799
• ICOBazaar—106,864
• CryptoCompare—this one is cool because it’s like a social media site for cryptocurrency, but with a heavy, heavy focus on investor due diligence.
• ICOArray—914,609
• TokenTops—99,396
• ICOMarks—257,964
• FXEmpire—55,849
• CoinSpectator—86,368
• FoundICO—315,886
• TrackICO—139,939
• ICOHolder—222,199
• ICOScheduler—2,040,496
• FoxICO—242,131

There you go—making the Due Diligence process a bit easier for you!

At the end, Blocklancer is here to protect freelancers and give the freelance marketplace a more secure and reliable platform to do work on, earning Cryptocurrencies in the process. This is important as we all know about the ICO boom—they need somewhere to hire developers and many of them need to pay developers in Ethereum, or would love the opportunity to.

Hope this wasn’t too descriptive! If you’re interested in learning more about the project, feel free to check out their official website and links below:
