Akropolis, a new blockchain service, has announced to launch their ICO program soon. The Company has provided details of their token sale for their ICO which will take place in Q3 2018.

Akropolis is a transparent smart contract-based blockchain that aims to eliminate the deficiencies in world’s pension fund infrastructure.

According to the team, the pension deficit crisis has the largest negative impact on majority of people irrespective of their gender, race, age, and location. The entire system is fundamentally flawed with no solution to mend it.

This Company, therefore, wants to develop a decentralized pension fund blockchain, thereby, creating a safer financial future for humanity, built by and for the people.

“The system designed for pension fund is massively flawed and full of deficits that can create a major crisis in the future. We are aiming to make a more sustainable economic future by using the power of blockchain and tokenization,” said the company’s spokesperson.

They are aiming to bring resilience among critical predictable threats and create a more sustainable future.

The Company’s forthcoming ICO is intended to help them in their cause. This ICO will have a total token supply of 900,000,000. Out of that, 40%, i.e. 360,000,000 will be up for sale at a price of $0.069/token. Akropolis has a hard cap of $25 million from this ICO.

From the remaining tokens, 10% would go towards advisors and early supporters; another 10% to marketing and ecosystem development team. 20% would be given to their team, and another 20% will go towards reserve funds and partnerships.

The hard cap of $25 million will be divided among their several departments. 50% ($12.5 million) will be assigned to technology and talent, 15% ($3.75 million) to partnerships, 10% ($2.5 million) to marketing, 12.5% ($3.125 million) to legal and regulatory, 10% ($2.5 million) to operations, and 2.5% ($625,000) to contingency.

Akropolis is currently headed by Anastasia O. Andrianova (CEO & Founder), a graduate from University of Oxford who has previously worked with Lehman Brothers and was also the Co-Founder and MD of Apiro Capital. Currently, she is also on the advisory board of the Web3 Foundation and The Bee Token.

Another Co-Founder, Kate Kurbanova has previously been an advisor at Latium, a blockchain micro-tasking platform. She is also currently a Product Advisor at Svandis and Head of Analytics at Cindicator.

Sandra Wu is the Senior Advisor to the CEO and General Counsel who is also Principal, Head of Legal & Chief Compliance Officer, at Mercer Investments (Asia).

Other core members include Peter Robertson as Pensions Lead, Aylon Morley for Business Development, Abhimanyu Dayal as Head of Strategy, Jay Mehta as Content & Community Management, and Victor Wiebe as Blockchain Developer.

Sigma Prime, a blockchain and cybersecurity company, has partnered with Akropolis and supplied the latter with few of their experienced professionals.

Adrian Manning (PhD) as Head of Blockchain R&D, Paul Hauner as Smart Contract Development and Audit, and Mehdi Zerouali as Cybersecurity Lead are the ones from Sigma Prime putting their brains in this Company.

According to the spokesperson, the beta version of the B2C product will be released to a private group during Q3/Q4 2018. Akropolis promises to change the face of pension fund infrastructure, and this ICO will aid them in achieving the same.

Brewers edge Rays to capture World Series opener

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee captain Christian Yelich tripled in one run and scored another to lead the Brewers over Tampa Bay 3-2 in Friday's opening game of the 122nd World Series. Yelich did his damage in the first inning and strong pitching from Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski and relievers frustrated the Rays, who put the tying run on third base in the ninth before Milwaukee secured the victory. "It feels great. The guys settled in right away and did a great job," Yelich said. "We've still got a ways to go but nice to get that first one." A sellout crowd for the first World Series game at Milwaukee in 44 years cheered on the Brewers, who host game two Saturday before the best-of-seven Major League Baseball finale shifts to Florida. "It was amazing. Just to have the city behind me, it means the world," Misiorowski said. "We couldn't ask for anything better." The 24-year-old American right-hander became the youngest pitcher since 1997 to win a World Series opener. "Not perfect but good enough to get a win," Misiorowski said of his performance. Each club seek its first World Series title. The Brewers' only other appearance was in 1982 while the Rays are in their third World Series after 2008 and 2020. It's only the second World Series in more than a century featuring two teams that have never captured the crown, the other in 1980 when Philadelphia beat Kansas City. Misiorowski, known for his fiery fastball, hurled the fastest World Series pitch ever recorded at 103.5 mph (166.5km/hr) to begin the game. Misiorowski, who went 16-5 with an MLB-best 252 strikeouts and an MLB-best 1.80 earned-run average this season, broke the old mark of 103.2 mph set by Aroldis Chapman of the Chicago Cubs in 2016, eight years after pitch speeds were first recorded. He struck out three and scattered four hits over five innings while allowing only one run to earn the victory. Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio hit the first offering from Rays starting pitcher Nick Martinez for a leadoff single in the first inning. Chourio scored when designated hitter Yelich smashed a triple off the glove of diving Rays outfielder Jonny DeLuca. "He prepares, he's a leader and he has helped us a bunch all year," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of Yelich. William Contreras followed with a single to drive in Yelich for a 2-0 Brewers lead. Tampa Bay's Jonathan Aranda walked to open the fourth inning, reached third on Junior Caminero's double to the centerfield wall and scored on an infield ground out by Liam Hicks to cut the lead in half. Milwaukee added what proved to be the deciding run in the seventh after Cooper Pratt walked, advanced on a ground out and scored on Chourio's single to right field. - Scary finish - Brewers relief pitchers dominated down the stretch with Abner Uribe and Aaron Ashby combining for five strikeouts while allowing only one hit over three innings. But in the ninth, Milwaukee closer Trevor Megill allowed back-to-back singles to Aranda and Chandler Simpson, then pinch-runner Jorge Mateo and Simpson executed a double steal to reach second and third bases. Caminero walked to load the bases and Hicks appeared to ground into a game-ending double play. Video replay showed an errant throw pulled the fielder's foot off the bag at second and Mateo scored with Rays runners on second and third. With the game on the line, Megill struck out DeLuca to secure the victory. "A big range of emotions," Yelich said. "Big credit to Trev for locking back in right there, making some huge pitches after you have that emotional dump. "Everybody had faith in Trev. It's the World Series. You've got to do what you've got to do. He did a great job." js/rcw
