LONG AKROUSDT - OverDue For Pump!
Overview
Akropolis is a domain-specific protocol that allows users to save in groups and get access to cheap uncollateralized loans, pensions and other financial services. Akropolis tokenizes credit unions and allows user groups to get uncollateralized loans, provide capital to pools, and earn interest out of it.
History
The initial idea for a distributed pension fund was born out of what one of the founders, Ana, has witnessed as a result of the Lehman Brothers fallout in 07-09. The problem is both simple and relatively unknown to the younger population: it's the current and ever-increasing pensions deficit crisis and no visible solutions to it.
Akropolis wanted to create a solution alternative to current pension schemes - a way to save money, protect wealth against inflation, ensure access to credit and basic insurance, and remittances through a p2p network that can communicate with but doesn't structurally depend on the banking system. It was started with more of an enterprise angle, with institutional parties support but it became clear that their enthusiasm for exploring alternatives in this sector closely tracks public sentiment, which in turn was negatively affected by the collapse in prices in 2018. And, of course, client acquisition in enterprise usually exceeds 12 months.
As the team continued customer research, it became clear that pensions, savings, remittances, insurance have to be enabled for the product to be economically viable. In that sense, they didn't exactly pivot away from pensions, as pensions are effectively long-term savings with a tax shield, but to a slightly different model.
AkropolisOS is a modular framework for creating for-profit DAOs with complex business logic and customizable user incentives & treasury management. The first two products, Sparta & Delphi, are built on it.
