ANCHOR PROJECT REVIEW

Over the past few years, the cryptocurrency markets have seen significant and unprecedented growth, with investors in the space earning huge profits. One major drawback, however, is that trading cryptocurrencies is a bit complicated and the recent influx of new projects into the market is quite overwhelming. As a result, investors that do not have the time, resources or expertise to do exhaustive research may end up making snap judgements and losing money. As such, it has become particularly important for investors to be cautious while making investments in ICOs and cryptocurrencies in general. This is because a large proportion of investors lack the knowledge to dissect projects, analyse teams or even to ascertain the authenticity of the claims made in the white paper. More so, even if these investors have the knowledge and expertise to analyse and make risk assessment for blockchain projects they may lack the time, resources, and in depth research required to make informed decision. On the other hand, there are multiple genuine cryptocurrencies and ICO projects that have viable products, and world class teams that have the ability to execute the vision and deliver revolutionary solutions within the space and this is where ANCHOR fits in has they have developed a revolutionary platform.

ABOUT ANCHOR

Anchor is a stablecoin designed to provide token users with long-term price stability and protection against inflation. Anchor is pegged to a non-flationary, algorithmic index that reflects the long-term growth of the global economy. The Monetary Measurement Unit (MMU) algorithm is based on the GDP of more than 190 countries, and further stabilized with FX indicators from a basket of eight currencies, and premium sovereign bond yields from 10 of the world’s strongest economies. By pegging Anchor to the sustainable, upward trend of global economic growth, the stablecoin will maintain its value regardless of any fiat currency’s strength, preserving purchasing power, and steadily increasing in value over time.

Vision
The vision is to create a stable platform for any crypto or traditional currency to peg their value to, and to be a cornerstone for price stability as a global currency and financial standard.

Mission
Anchor’s core mission is to be a driver of global economic stability.

UNIQUE BENEFITS

Anchor offers a unique opportunity to invest in a new cryptocurrency that has the potential to resolve most of the problems that plague the world’s economy and most of the other cryptocurrencies. Namely, Anchor is here to fix the stability issue that almost every other currency in the world is facing right now. With the dual-token mechanism, Anchor represents the ideal opportunity for investors and traders to truly protect their holdings.

As promising as the world of cryptocurrencies is, we know that stability is definitely in high demand. After all, we have seen one coin tumble after another. That is why Anchor plans to become the first coin ever that offers almost no volatility whatsoever. We even have systems specifically designed to prevent pump and dump strategies that have destroyed other similar projects in the past.

How It Works?

Anchor is designed to work on two platforms, Ethereum and Stellar. Core business logic of the system is built on Stellar network while there is ERC20 token on Ethereum to ease enrolment of new users to the platform since Ethereum has a much stronger community. With this fact in mind, Anchor also provides the possibility to transfer ERC20 tokens from Ethereum to Stellar network or to buy ANCH for ETH or BTC directly.

The system itself is a two-token one, where the Anchor is the utility token, and the Dock is the internal, stabilization mechanism token. This system will react to any changes in the value of Anchor on the market with a contraction, or an expansion phase, that will stabilize the currency to its desired value peg.

About The Monetary Measurement Unit (MMU)

The MMU is the formula we use to determine the value of the global economy. The system will use a proprietary algorithm to go through macroeconomic indicators on a global scale to create a numerical index it can use to peg all existing currencies to.

To create this peg, the algorithm uses two key elements – the FX indicator, and the MMU premium. The FX indicator indexes the currencies of the 20 biggest participants in the world economy. In fact, the indicator only uses currencies of the countries that partake in the world economy with at least 1%. From there, the FX indicator uses the exchange rates of the international market to enable the nominal expression of the MMU.

This part of the system was created to mimic and improve the IMF’s SDR. For comparison, the IMF (International Monetary Fund) is basing all of its calculations for the SDR on the values of top five currencies that aren’t even picked based on their real part in the global economy, but are rather politically chosen.

Anchor is offering a stable peg of value that will be expressed primarily in US dollars and that takes politics out of the equation completely.

The second element in our MMU is the Premium. The MMU Premium calculates the amount of growth that can be expected based on sovereign bond yields of countries we have chosen to invest in and the average inflation rates. This Premium is about 0.4% on a yearly basis. That represents a steady growth that can outpace the rate of inflation, growth that can be securely maintained in the years, or even decades to come.

About The Two-Token Model

The Anchor project uses two tokens to prevent value fluctuation. The Anchor, which is tradeable, and the Dock token that is there to serve as a buffer against fluctuation. The system will manage the value of the token through the use of the stabilization mechanism that includes the Contraction Phase and the Expansion Phase. Those two phases will allow Anchor to enhance the value of the holders’ investments, at the same time, making sure that the value of the stablecoin remains the same.

Furthermore, Anchor consists of a two-token model composed of Anchor Tokens (ANCT), that serve as main currency/payment tokens; and Dock Tokens (DOCT), the utility tokens that stabilize the currency ensuring ANCT remains pegged to the MMU regardless of external fluctuations. Anchor’s flexible currency supply is regulated by the Anchor tokenomics, the principal component of which is the Contraction/Expansion mechanism, through which Anchor’s system will programmatically buy and sell tokens in order to maintain ANCT’s price in equilibrium with the MMU.
