State pension funds are subject to inflation, savings can be lost or stolen by fraudsters. Any banking structure operates according to the requirements of local legislation, can go bankrupt or suffer from a crisis. What will happen to pensions in 20-30 years, where is it safe to hide the accumulations "for old age"?

The creators of the Akropolis project integrate the capabilities of blockhouses and standard pension funds. The application is built on flexible smart contracts, investment decisions are made by accredited investors.
What is Akropolis?
Platform Akropolis - a single system for storing and managing pension funds, built on the technology of blocking. Developers seek to reduce inflationary and economic risks, making pension savings more stable and profitable for users. The program includes functions for five categories of users.
Individual User - an individual who wishes to save and increase pension savings using Akropolis. Such users receive an individual system access key associated with public keys.
Pension Funds are state or commercial pension funds working through Akropolis. Such users create their own infrastructure, attract new members (Individual User) to allocate funds.
Fund Managers - managers of the placed assets. Individuals or organizations that manage placed assets on behalf of private investors or organizations (Pension Funds). The task of users is to maximize the profit of the other groups of participants.
Asset Tokenisers are intermediaries that ensure the "digitization" of real assets and confirm their authenticity upon request. For example, a pensioner places fiat money on the account of a non-state pension fund registered in Akropolis. Asset Tokenisers confirms the total amount and "gives" the user a token.
Developers are individuals and companies that develop additional functions for Akropolis users. For example, financial analytics tools, services for the withdrawal of earned funds.
The Akropolis platform operates in accordance with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), a document that guarantees the protection of personal data of citizens in the EU. Good news for investors: the product is aimed at a large European market.

How does Akropolis work?
At the heart of the system are smart contracts and a decentralized, transparent architecture of the blockbuster. Transactions, personal data of users and legal information are stored on servers. Work with Akropolis is built on three procedures:
Onboarding. Registration of new users and loading of documents is carried out once, the user receives a token for payment of Fund Managers services.
Reporting. Fund Managers provide a report on the portfolios of assets, each user can select the desired manager. Akropolis is a more flexible platform than non-government pension funds, existing tokens can easily be "moved" between projects.
Ranking and Reputation. Each user of the platform receives a rating depending on the number of assets, compliance with legal requirements, feedback. For example, Asset Tokenisers receive points for fast document verification.
Before working with Akropolis, the user passes KYC (know your customer) procedure, all personal data is stored on separate servers (off-chain) in an encrypted form. Information about transactions and storage of pension assets are stored in the on-chain.
How does the ICO go and what will happen to Akropolis next?

MVP project was established in early 2018, the smart contracts Akropolis passed a third-party audit and thereafter was published a rough Whitepaper.
Launch of the beta version of the product for companies and private customers is scheduled for the end of 2018, followed by a mobile application. The developers expect free trial use of Akropolis.
