ABOUT AKROPOLIS:
Akropolis set out with the objective to build a protocol that enables creation of a distributed financial network comprising member-owned financial organisations designed to step in to provide the trifecta of basic financial services (savings, investments, social insurance) through a distributed network without reliance on governments, banks or other legacy financial institutions. Result: resilience to global contagion risks in the event of a financial crisis.
Akropolis is committed to platform agnosticism and domain-specific chains, cementing partnerships with several players across different chains, such as Chainlink, ChainX, MakerDAO, and Wyre.
A significant part of the team effort is directed towards interoperability research and development, and supporting ecosystems
