Crowd Machine is a project aimed at disrupting and enhancing the decentralized app (DApp) industry. CM plans to launch the first ever DAPP marketplace and enable developers to build and release DApps up to 45 times faster than current capabilities. The project is creating a intelligent decentralized cloud called Crowd Computer by harnessing the excess processing power of the many devices of users joining the project around the world, including mobile, laptop, tablet, and desktop devices with plans to include IoT devices in the future.
The Crowd Computer will use these devices to host DApps and execute smart contracts throughout the network. CM uses DApp creation technology to allow users to create new blockchains, apps, and source code without needing to code anything. The process is automated and uses templates on a ‘drag and drop’ interface, and the apps can be released to crowd share to be monetized online. Developers can use the Crowd App Suite to create ‘Patterns’ or templates which they can upload and monetize for each time they are used to create new apps. The project is blockchain agnostic, meaning DApps will not be limited to functioning on only one blockchain such as Ethereum and developers can migrate their app from one blockchain to another.
Why Does it Need a Blockchain?
The nature of the Crowd Machine project is that it will be dealing with blockchain products, and the project team claim furthering the global adoption of blockchain as one of the project goals. Decentralized app developers can use the Crowd Machine interface to create new apps to be launched on the marketplace, and the CMTC token is required for all stages of this process. The Crowd App Suite allows developers to create and monetize Patterns for DApps which can be launched on any blockchain and migrated between blockchains.
The CMTC token itself, however, will operate on the Ethereum blockchain – Crowd Machine is built to utilize any blockchain but will not require or use a blockchain to operate the network.

Tokenomics and ICO Sale
The token is an ERC20 token called CMTC. The price will be determined based on the overall amount invested.
App owners will use CMTC tokens to pay for the usage of their app on the Crowd Computer. The tokens will also reward node operators on the network for contributing their resources, and developers will be rewarded in CMTC for their software being executed on the network.
Donations will be accepted in Ether, Bitcoin, and fiat currencies. 80% of the tokens will be allocated to investors, and the remaining 20% will be allocated to the team.
The team has not released how they will be using the ICO proceeds specifically, stating that they will be allocated to CM products, developer community, sales and marketing, product and community support, and other business proceeds.
The tokens will be divided into 5 lots as follows:
Resources
Total supply: 2 billion
Ticker: CMTC
Soft cap: $30,000,000
Hard cap: N/A
There was a private sale with a minimum investment of $100,000 USD which is now closed. The public sale was scheduled for 28 April but has been postponed with no date set as of yet. Tokens will be received within 4 hours of the close of sale.
Citizens of North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia are unable to invest in this ICO.
