What is Akroma?

Akroma is a newly launched Crypto that is a fork of Ethereum with the addition of Masternodes and Oracles. These are two important terms we need to define:

Masternodes - While the implementation of Masternodes vary between different crypto currencies the general concept is that a Masternode is a full node with a set amount of currency (5000 Akroma in this case) locked that allows that node to perform a function on the network and receive a reward for performing those functions. Those functions can include instant transactions, budgeting, governance, creating privacy, etc.

Oracles - This one is a newer term to most people. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines an oracle as "a person (such as a priestess of ancient Greece) through whom a deity is believed to speak." This is spot on. A blockchain only knows what is on the blockchain, the oracle will provide access to information outside the blockchain.

Short Term Roadmap

There are several important upcoming events:

Hard Fork at Block 300K.
- This hard fork will include the required code for Masternodes and will change the block reward to reflect this addition. The block reward after block 300K will be 7/2/1 (Miners/Masternodes/Akroma Foundation).
March 1^st, 2018 - Start of Masternode Alpha Program
- Participation in the alpha program will be limited to a small group of participants chosen at random from the group of users that register for the alpha.
- Alpha program participants will receive 1% of the balance of the address holding the Masternode portion of the block reward to avoid unfairly rewarding participants chosen at random.
- Masternode alpha Program participants must have the 5K Akroma required to run a Masternode, must have access to a linux server (highly recommend a VPS such as Vultr, AWS, or Azure), should have basic linux command line ability, and should have some extra time each week to update and install software on the linux server.
March 1^st, 2018 - Expected publish date for the long-term roadmap.
April 1^st, 2018 - Start of Masternode Beta Program (Date May Not be 100% Accurate)
- Beta program participants will include all alpha participants and additional participants chosen at random from the group of users that register for the beta.
- Beta program participants will receive 5% of the balance of the address holding the Masternode portion of the block reward to avoid unfairly rewarding participants chosen at random.
May 1^st, 2018 - Open Masternodes (Date May Not Be 100% Accurate)
- Everyone holding the required amount of Akroma (5K) will be able to setup a Masternode.
- First two days will continue to utilize the 5% of the balance of the address holding the Masternode portion of the block reward.
- On the third day after open Masternodes are live the reward will be 6% of the total Masternode portion of the block reward, this will increase by 1% each day until the reward reaches 100%.
