Concept
Akropolis is a transparent, decentralized, accountable and mobile pension infrastructure. Ecosystem, which builds the project, is designed to make the system of pension payments more modern and fairer.
The World Economic Forum believes that at the moment about 48% of the inhabitants of the Earth of old age do not receive a pension! It is worth noting that pension savings are growing every year, and if in 2015 the total amount of world savings was 70 trillion dollars, then by 2050 it is forecasted to reach 400 trillion dollars. Compounding the problem and making the pension funds inadequately effective are quite complex compensation structures that do not have an objective level of transparency.
The creators of the project believe that fair management, the integration of key participants, the creation of a high level of work of the funds will be possible through the use of blockchain technologies and the use of smart contract systems.
Site
So far it is only available in English. Much attention is paid to the team and advisers, the road map. All links work. In general, the design is no frills, but nice. Closer to the end there is a FAQ block, though, it is written very succinctly.
Documentation
There are 3 documents available on the website: a 33-page technical document, which can be viewed only by indicating your mailbox, as well as 2 documents-analysis of the problem from the data of the international economic forum (24 pages) and analysis of the problem based on CitiGroup data (127 pages). Perhaps, having carefully read these documents, you can already consider yourself an expert in the pension system.
Team
The site lists 10 members of the main project team and 9 most influential developers. Everyone has profiles in LinkedIn and an impressive description of merit. Interestingly, among the technical advisers there is Bokky Poobah (one of the important developers in the team Ethereum), and among the industry experts – the former Minister for Pension Matters of the UK Ros Altman. Perhaps, this composition speaks for itself.
Social networks
At the beginning of May, the project had a fairly low popularity. On the evening of May 5, there were 5,048 subscribers in the official Telegram channel, 938 in Twitter, Facebook – 140, Medium – 110, LinkedIn – 9. The site has a profile in github, where, however, is completely empty. Of course, the problems of pensions are of little concern to the younger generation, which mostly sits in social networks. For the rapid popularization of the project, it is worthwhile to promote mass media, explain all the work in a simple and understandable language. Level of in bitcointalk just only Jr. Member.
Conclusion
The project chose a very complex topic, but it is really useful and promising. In any case, the blockchain will gradually enter into all spheres of human activity, so we hope that the Akropolis team will be able to gain a foothold in its niche. A well-known fact – the average life expectancy in developed countries is growing, and the birth rate is kept at a low level, as a result of which, according to forecasts, the share of pensioners among the population will increase over a long period. Increasing the age of retirement is a logical, but not always correct, solution to the problem. Due to the increase in the authorities of the countries there may be problems with the public. Therefore, the proper allocation of funds based on blockchain is a very useful innovation, which in the long term will become a reliable assistant to state structures. Most likely, the project is somewhat ahead of time. But, if he succeeds in staying afloat for several years, then it is quite possible that the scale of his success will be difficult to overestimate.
