ICO Analysis: Akropolis

[nguyenquangminh]

The global pension industry is in serious trouble, with many funds underfunded and heading for disaster unless solutions are applied right away.

The current pension fund structure is outdated, has conflicts of interest and lacks transparency. People are living longer now, and many pensions aren’t adequately funded to handle this fact. This can cause many retirees to be underfunded and result in a major financial crisis. A company with a vision to solve this world-wide pension deficit problem is Akropolis

The Akropolis platform was designed to solve the problems of the outdated structural issues of the worldwide pensions sector. Akropolis is a global technology platform that allows users to connect with a variety of pension funds and experienced fund managers with a transparent fee structure while being portable. The goal of Akropolis is to be the largest alternative infrastructure for pensions globally by creating decentralized pensions on the blockchain using smart contracts. Akropolis will partner with top experts in the pension sector to help solve the current problems of the global pension industry.

The Akropolis platform acts as a gateway between individuals, pension funds and the fund asset managers that manage retirement investments. The fund managers build portfolios of assets, which are then tokenized and put on the blockchain and available for investors. Under this system, investors would have complete transparency with respect to their on-chain portfolio pension investments. Any disputes between parties will initially be handled through the Akropolis Foundation until mediator partners are incorporated. Currently, pensions are maintained by disparate companies and individuals that have many job changes have a hard time keeping up with pension plans. The Akropolis platform allows individuals to manage all of their pensions in one place.

TOKEN
The Akropolis (AKT) platform will initially be launched on Ethereum with the ultimate goal of becoming blockchain agnostic. Akropolis users will have complete control over their pensions without the need for a third-party. Individuals may allow various Akropolis platform parties to access some or all of their private data and receive AKT tokens as a reward. These tokens will subsequently be added to the individual’s pension.

TEAM
The Akropolis team is made up of many experienced fund asset managers, which gives the project a leg-up in terms of implementation. Pension systems are complex. Akropolis will handle regulatory compliance and make the pension management process simple for the end user, making pension savings transparent as everything will be recorded on the blockchain.

DISPOSITION
Akropolis is taking on a very complex industry head first, making pensions more accessible and simple for people around the world. With a somewhat low market cap and favorable timing, Akropolis, in my opinion, can reach a $50 million market cap in a couple of months, which would double your initial investment. Akropolis receives a 7 out of 10 rating.

A new step towards the development of the pension system has been taken. The concept is not bad, now the main thing is that there should be no resistance from the state body when trying to mass introduction!

good information, thx!

Yes, this is a very interesting project. Akropolis is a technology platform designed to address deep-seated structural issues of the global pensions sector. It is designed to be a multi-jurisdictional platform for the delivery of pensions, social welfare and future benefits in a portable manner, that over time brings together individual end users and large institutional players in a new system of incentives.
That's why I chose it.
- 48% of the retirement of the population, the population, the population, and the retirement, the gap globally will grow from $ 70 trillion in 2015 to $ 400 trillion by 2050.
- The average level of the unfunded government pension in OECD countries is 190% of GDP, dwarfing the reported amount of all government debt, which totals only 109% of the GDP.
The Akropolis project aims to be the largest alternative pensions infrastructure in the world. They are creating decentralized pensions on the blockchain and a safer financial future for humanity, built by and for the people.
