Chainspace
Chainspace (http://chainspace.io) is a distributed decentralized infrastructure with natural sharding and cross-shard transactions that supports users` smart contracts and performs transactions provided by users on their objects.
Correct execution of transactions of smart contracts is subject to verification by all nodes of the shard.

Similar projects:
The technology is most similar to TON, although TON looks much more elaborated. Team most look like Arweave.
GitHub (https://github.com/chainspace/chainspace):
The project's GitHub contains one repository. The work has started from June 4, 2017. The repository contains 840 commits, 6 contributors work on it. At the moment, there are already 11 500 lines of code written (for example, the Fusion project is about three times less).
GitHub of the project is perfect. The work has been going on for a long time, a lot has been done, that indicates that the team is very serious.
The Team:
Mustafa Al-Bassam, in link 315
a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science at University College London.
Little work experience - mainly a consultant, intern. Since the latest 2 years - adviser for information security in Security Trading.
An interesting fact is that Mustafa is a student in the IC3 initiative (we'll talk about this organization later).

IC3 initiative.
IC3 is an initiative of teachers at Cornell University, Cornell Tech, UC Berkeley, UIUC and the Technion. IC3 uniquely responds to the needs of the blockchain community in world-class knowledge in the field of computer science, including cryptography, distributed systems, programming languages, game theory and methods for securing the system. The initiative is concentrated in 2 directions: Blockchain-study and Blockchain-code.
Partners of the initiative are:
Directors of the initiative include such well-known people in the blockchain community as: Emin Gun Sirer (http://www.cs.cornell.edu/people/egs/), Dawn Song (https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu / ~ dawnsong /). And the chief researcher is Elaine Shi (http://elaineshi.com/).
The team of the project is sufficiently skilled and educated. They are actively working on the project.
Advisers:
There is no information about advisers on the project's site. Negative moment, although it is possible that they will appear. The project is at a very early stage.
Conclusions on the project:
The project is a very high-level. WP of excellent quality. Despite of the early stage, GitHub contains more than enough code for proof-of-concept (much more than previous projects). In addition, the project has a very skilled team, they have all the chances to cope with the task. In addition, some team members have or had been studying in the IC3 initiative of TOP experts in the field of blockchain technologies.
Disadvantages: the project is at a very early stage, so it is difficult to identify any disadvantages of the project due to lack of information about the metrics of tokens, investors, partners and advisers.
Evaluation: due to the early stage, it is not possible to evaluate the project now!
