Akroma + Kastle

The Akroma project has always had a simple goal. Cryptocurrency Smarter. So far, that has meant redesigning the way people interact with block explorers, a custom desktop wallet, intuitive mobile apps, re-imagining the use of Master nodes, Oracles and Smart Contracts.

As development continues, one of the largest roadblocks for all projects has been realized. Exchanges hold the keys to a project’s success. In the pioneering spirit of crypto, the Akroma team has decided to do what they can to make a difference, not only for Akroma, but for all projects.

Kastle: This time, it’s different.

Kastle is a project the Akroma team is working on to revolutionize the way people interact with cryptocurrency. At its core, it’s an exchange. But it’s so much more than that. It’s also a suite of features that will encourage utilization and put money back in the pockets of users; not exchanges.

Kastle will implement a fair and transparent listing process. While it is a business and will need profit to operate, we at Kastle believe we can accomplish this without charging exorbitant fees. Our heart is, and will always remain, to advance cryptocurrency. We hope to lead way and be an example of how exchanges should list and feature projects.

In addition to partnerships and traditional listings, we will offer community voting and Kastle’s Visionary Program.

Community Voting is self-explanatory. We plan to list 1 Coin, Token, or Digital asset that wins a weekly community vote free of charge for the first 6 months.

We’ve realized that even with the opportunity provided by Community Voting, sound, viable projects can still be left without a trustworthy and reliable place to be traded. So we created the Visionary Program. Many projects are doing incredible things but may not have the funds to pay for listing, or the community backing to win a vote. We want to provide an outlet for projects with good, working software and use cases to be able to compete in the current exchange climate.

To accomplish this, Kastle will review all projects submitted for community voting. Once a month the Kastle team will select a handful of projects to research. We will interview their development team, review their software and vision statements. The Kastle team will then vote to decide if they should be listed free of charge.

What does Akroma gain from Kastle?

All projects listed via Community Voting or the Visionary program will be listed with an Akroma trading pair. AKA/BTC and AKA/ETH trading pairs will always be fee free to encourage use of Akroma trading pairs. All coins listed via Partnership or Traditional listing will be listed with an AKA trading pair in addition to either or both a BTC/ETH trading pair.

Kastle will list Akroma based ERC-20 tokens at a reduced or free cost depending on the Akroma Foundation’s level of involvement. This will encourage projects to build on the Akroma Platform as they will, in some cases, be guaranteed listing directly out development.

AKT is Akroma’s 1st production scale ERC-20 token. Aside from AKT being listed on the Kastle platform, our team will be reaching out to other exchanges to list our token to encourage cross-exchange trading. Kastle will, in some cases, lead the way for other Akroma based ERC-20 tokens to be listed on other exchanges. By shouldering the higher listing costs associated with a first-time set up of a new platform, Kastle will make it easier & likely cheaper for future Akroma based ERC-20 tokens to be listed on platforms outside of Kastle further encouraging development on the Akroma Platform.

These features will add to Akroma’s liquidity and make it a more viable for the Akroma Foundation’s block rewards to be used for exchange listing and enhance the Akroma Foundation’s ability to sponsor and support developers looking to build on Akroma.
