Any investment requires thorough due diligence, but analyzing a project isn't always easy. Crypto investors have to assess projects based on the core fundamentals that are available, such as the team, the target market and progress being made.
At Liquid, we are ecstatic to work with crypto startups that are flying high in 2019 and exceeding expectations. Here are five projects we’re watching closely.
Get Protocol
GET, or Guaranteed Entrance Token, is a smart ticketing solution that does away with everything you hate about buying event tickets.

The GET Protocol team continues to move forward, with consistent technology, partnership and other news being released on their Medium every month.
Here are a few highlights:
- Holland's most popular comedian used Get Protocol with great success for a recent 36 show comedy tour
- A second ticketing company, ITIX, has adopted Get Protocol
- Received approval from the Dutch Police as a safe platform for ticket purchasing and avoiding fraud
