There are different strategies when about investing in cryptocurrency projects and platforms. My main investment thesis consists of:

1. Finding platforms which are creating important solutions for real use cases;

2. Strong business plan and funds allocation;

3. Business partnerships; 

4. Innovation;

5. Experienced team and strong community; 

6. Protocol tokens which unite broad ecosystem around them;

7. Possibility of passive income while you sleep.

All above mentioned criteria is reflected in Open Application Network (OAN) previously known as AION. Just take a look at this picture to familiarize what is behind scenes. 

Please take in mind that it is my personal view and investing thesis. As I'm not a financial advisor you should do your own research.
