The principle behind T.OS is the establishment of a commercial payment system that utilizes digital currency. This will be the first such system in the history of the world. The solution comprises two coins. The TOS coin, or TOSC, is a regular cryptocurrency coin, which is not used for commerce, but can be exchanged on regular exchanges to any other digital currency. Its value may appreciate or depreciate and that is why it can't be used for commerce.
Akropolis is building a domain-specific financial protocol dedicated to the needs of the informal economy. It is designed to: - Enable anybody regardless of geography to quickly set up, operate and grow informal autonomous financial organisations (AFOs), e.g. digital co-ops, guilds, mutuals - Enable a previously impossible interoperable scalable network between them and external third parties, whereby value can be exchanged freely in a trust-minimised way (e.g. co-invest, lend/borrow, trade). - Reduce instances of fraud and misuse of funds
