The startup had promised its funders that shall it fail to proceed with the plans in Spain within a sixty-day time frame, it would be returning all the money raised in the initial coin offering (ICO). As a result, funders not only from Spain but also from Singapore poured in with the minimum investment of nine hundred thousand (900,000) Euros.

The ICO however, failed to live up to the initial reputation it had gathered quickly falling down to one of the top losers in the year 2018. Though the startup came to a quick death due to lack of permission to build the farming facility it gave way to another ICO emerging from Paraguay.
