OUR STORY
Hi all.  We are a group of students from major universities across Asia, including the University of Hong Kong (HKU),
National Taiwan University, National Tsing Hua University, etc. We've stumbled upon numerous ICO projects since the boom of the cryptocurrency
market in 2017, and even personally invested in quite a few. However, the more ICO projects we invested in, the more we realize that a
feasible and prospective ICO may not always be the one that succeeds in funding. Frankly speaking, moreover, we've seen several
ICOs with shallow ideas, coupled with vaporware, flashy promotional animation clips and buzzwords scamming the crowd, running away with
millions, if not billions of dollars, all are forged with the investors' blood, sweat and tears.  Besides costing the investors dearly, the circulation
of scams even landed the whole crypto-market a bad fame. It is most evident with the fall of BitConnect, a ponzi-scheme making hundreds of thousands of investors bankrupt.
We want to change that.
Our founder, Kai-hsiang Chang, is a 19-year-old Taiwanese student studying at HKU. As a "coding junkie",
he loves spending endless nights in front of a computer screen programming since the age of 14. He has
aspired to devote his professional knowledge into something he's passionate about, and hopefully, in the
meantime, making the world a better place. One day, together with his roommate, Yi-tim Hsiao, they come
up with the idea of ADGONOS, hoping to change the glaring issues that the current mobile monetization
business model has: High Commission, Low Revenue, Poor User Experience, and Shady Data Collection.
 (We're watching you, Cambridge Analytica and ZUCC)
Admittedly, we do not possess the same financial caliber as many other ICO projects, e.g. buying a paid position
on some of the demanding ICO listing websites, mass-advertising on social media, doing massive airdrops or even worse,
spamming emails and forums with bots or cheap labors.
However, we do have the knowledge and proficiency to execute our project
we do have highly skilled team members from various fields to achieve our goals.
We do have a zealous passion of really establishing something beneficial to human beings.
Heck, we even have the courage to launch an ICO during these sad times  of bear market.
It's not just another aimless cash-grab to launder your cash, buy Lamborghinis or travel to some
exotic Pacific islands. We truly want, and are capable of, building a product, that would last long,
and reshape the traditional, outdated, and flawed business model of mobile ads. We just need your help,
to make both our dreams, of improving the experience and revenue of app users and developers, and
your dreams, of your crypto-portfolio mooning (well, with high probability  ), come true.
Hence, We Present to You, ADGONOS.IO
ADGONOS INTRODUCTION 
ADGONOS ─ the first ICO launched by students from top-notch universities across Asia. The ADGONOS
framework provides an ad-free environment for mobile app users, as well as increased revenue for app
developers. Attractive to both app developers and app users, ADGONOS will significantly impact the
current mobile ad market, of which annual turnover is 106 billion USD and annual growth rate is 18%. In
the ADGONOS system, mobile app users and app developers are rewarded ADG coins, which are generated
by Proof-of-Work (PoW) and anonymous usage data collection. The coins can be traded with other
cryptocurrencies on exchanges or be spent as credit in in-app purchases.
There are three main roles in the ADGONOS system:
Miners:
Mine and receive ADG using PoW algorithms on PC,
generating an additional 25% of coins for users and developers.
App Users:
Receive free ADG (can be spent in-app) from using
apps (Proof of Usage), and generate anonymous data for the network.
App Developers:
Adopt ADGONOS (instead of ads) in apps, and receive ADG as
revenue while gathering in-depth analytic and usage data.
