What is OKTC?
About OKT Chain
OKT Chain (OKTC) is a highly scalable, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built on Cosmos, focusing on true interoperability (IBC) and maximized performance. Designed for developers, OKTC offers:
- Low gas fees at high scalability.
- Seamless multi-chain Web3 integration via its ecosystem tools.
Advantages of OKT Chain
✅ High Scalability:
- Supports 5,000 TPS via enhanced Tendermint and DPoS consensus.
- Enables cost-efficient scaling for Web3 applications.
✅ Interoperability:
- Native IBC protocol for cross-chain value transfer within the Cosmos ecosystem.
- Full EVM compatibility for zero learning curve.
✅ Developer-Centric:
- Open-source with community-driven development.
- Integrates Chainlink oracles and native protocols for flexible data feeds.
✅ Security:
- Smart contract audits ensure decentralization and mitigate centralized risks.
What is Blockchain Middleware?
Blockchain middleware bridges infrastructure and applications, reducing development costs.
Developer Types:
- Core Contributors: Build underlying blockchain tech (e.g., public chains like OKTC).
- App Developers: Use middleware (like OKTC) to create user-facing dApps with Web2 skills.
OKTC’s Role:
- Acts as "blockchain middleware", streamlining development for both layers.
- Analogous to Web2 middleware (e.g., message queues, data storage).
