About Us
Trust and Credibility through Academic Excellence
In a world that is going increasingly digital with technology driving our everyday lives and investors looking for information, we believe that there is an essential requirement to develop a credible world class ratings platform for assets. We have based our platform on Nobel prize winning research, combined with the latest academic models, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques. This provides a very powerful tool for investors, given that the ratings platform is based on established academic research, free from human bias.
For us our mission statement is trust and credibility through academic excellence, and it is what we base our principles on and what drives our strategy, focus and energy. We are not offering investment advice, our platform is a place where our investors can gain unbiased knowledge, with no human intervention based on leading edge published academic research for over 60 years and the latest analysis techniques.
Research and Development
All our Research and Development team are based in the UK. The entire team is educated to post graduate level and includes six PhDs, two associate professors and one world leading finance professor. Between the team there is over 100 years’ combined experience in leading edge research and developing cutting edge business technology solutions. Our employee salaries are paid by Fiat Money and not with tokens. This ensures that there is no manipulation of the price of the token through insider information, protecting our investors.
The team is led by Professor Andros Gregoriou, who is a world leading researcher in the fields of stock market liquidity, cryptocurrencies, and financial stability.
He has published over 100 research papers in internationally recognized academic journals, and generated millions of pounds in income throughout his academic career. Professor Andros Gregoriou..

Token
We will develop our token on a reputable blockchain like BnB or ETH (ERC 20). At this stage we do not have plans to include a bridge for security reasons, we will monitor this technology as it evolves. We prioritise security of our investors above gas fees.
Allocation and Liquidity
Tokens held by owners are locked away for a period of three years from the time of launch on a decentralised exchange. This avoids large amounts of tokens being sold at any one time (“dumping”) which would affect the price of the token. This policy protects our investors for a three-year period when we are establishing and growing the business. Once the locked period has elapsed, we will announce when the owners are going to trade their tokens to avoid market abuse. We will not trade our tokens without announcing it on our website, with specific volumes, dates and times. Owners will own a maximum of 30% of the total token allocations.
We have a token burning policy to safeguard the price of the token for our investors. We will burn 30% of the total token allocation within the first three-year period from launching the token on a decentralised exchange. Again, this will be announced on our website, with specific dates and times to avoid market abuse.
Liquidity pools will be 40% of the total tokens that are on sale. This enables our investors to trade the token quickly with little impact on price.

Regulation and Transparent Reporting
Given our strong academic reputation and links to the professional financial bodies, it is our ambition to be registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), within the first three years of the business. In the long term, we would like to be regulated with the FCA. We will also have fully audited accounts provided on an annual basis from a reputable accounting firm, based in the UK. We believe in full transparency, which gives our investors’ confidence and assurances. The protection of our investors is of paramount importance to our business.
