Why Apollo18?Apollo18 has created the most efficient GPU based data center to “mine” cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) and is ready to scale. Apollo18 will be applying the same models used by tech giants in the industry for the layout of data centers, Apollo18 will achieve a GPU density per square foot that is unmatched today. A reduction in overall footprint and efficient cooling methods reduce overhead expenses that are then passed back to the users.
Industry landscapeDemand for infrastructure:
- The applications that are being built on top of blockchain technology are rapidly expanding. This development requires additional infrastructure to support the increasing demand, the main type of infrastructure comes in the form of data centers to “mine”.
Where we come in
No need to reinvent the wheel:- Companies that operate massive data centers are always innovating with the hope of increasing their efficiency. The data centers at the heart of our connected society provided tested solutions for many of the same problems faced by cryptocurrency mining operations today. Apollo18 is applying the same principles of industry data centers to create highly effective mining centers.
Roadmap overview
- Prototype mining silo: Complete
- Private token sale
- Public Initial Coin Offering (ICO)
Competitive advantages in short:
- Apollo18 is located in a region that offers the lowest price for energy in the United States
- Apollo18 has configured mining silos to achieve cooling efficiency that matches leading data-center operations within the tech industry
- Apollo18 has optimized mining operations with a high density of GPUs per square foot
- Apollo18 contributes to the security and expansion of blockchain infrastructure via ongoing research and development initiatives
Organizational excellence- Highly skilled team of professionals with diverse backgrounds in every field ranging from hardware experts that design circuit boards, software experts that develop our software stack.
- High investment ratio with low fees resulting in high payout
- Smart reinvesting of profits resulting in continuous growth of capital base, profits and payouts
Market Landscape- Market size of cryptocurrencies: between $650B and $700B depending on included assets and cryptocurrencies / methodology

- Mining of cryptocurrencies: Market size calculations are hard to perform in a market that is expanding as fast as the market for cryptocurrency mining. We estimate that the global market (miner revenue) for blockchain based mining operations is currently between $0.8B and $1.2B per quarter off which $0.4B — $0.5B per quarter falls to GPU-based mining. These numbers represent a sharp rise from the 2016 numbers as estimated by the cryptocurrency benchmark study that size the market with $563M
Investment to date
- Apollo18 founders have invested nearly $100,000 from their own funds in R&D to develop the initial mining silo
- Rollout to be financed via an ICO, target: $10M.
- Time between ICO and start of operations: < 3 months. This makes Apollo18 project stand out as the model is ready for implementation.
