Introduction

Octopus Network is a multichain network designed to serve application-specific blockchains, also known as Appchains. It provides flexible and affordable leased security, out-of-the-box cross-chain interoperability, one-stop infrastructure, and a ready-to-be-engaged community for the appchains.

Overview

Octopus Network is a decentralized appchain network natively built on NEAR Protocol. It provides out-of-the-box security, interoperability, and on-chain governance to projects looking to create a specific chain for their open web application. The company’s crypto network can adjust and optimize all parameters of a blockchain that includes consensus protocol, execution environment, P2P communication, data K/V storage, runtime and wallet interaction, and the application logic that can be customized.

Solutions

Octopus Network offers a range of solutions aimed at facilitating the development and launch of decentralized applications:

  • Security: Appchains in the Octopus Network can scale their security with demand using LPoS (Leased Proof-of-Stake), decreasing both the time and capital required to launch.
  • Interoperability: Octopus Network Appchains are interoperable out-of-the-box with Cosmos, NEAR, Ethereum, Polkadot, and any adaptive IBC enabled blockchain.
  • Infrastructure: The Octopus Network provides a complete infrastructure set for Appchains including RPC Gateway, Appchain Explorer, Appchain Indexer, and Appchain Archiver.
  • Community: The Octopus Network acts as a meta-community for hatching Appchain-native communities within the Octous Network and NEAR Protocol Ecosystems.
