Octopus Network Overview
What is Octopus Network?
Octopus Network is a sidechain that works in tandem with the NEAR Protocol blockchain . It allows project developers to launch decentralized finance, Web 3.0 applications on Octopus Network via Appchain more easily and quickly. To create/rent Appchains, project developers need to staking OCT tokens and using this token to pay development fees on Octopus Network. In addition, Octopus Network ensures safety in terms of security as well as providing off-chain interoperability and complete infrastructure for project developers.
Some highlights of Octopus Network
Octopus Network has a similar structure to Polkadot's Parachain but is not limited in the number of sub-chains (aka Appchains). That is, Parachain on Polkadot is limited to 100 slots and Appchain on Octopus Network has no specific quantity limit. In addition, the cost of creating/renting Appchains of Octopus Network is relatively low.
The core technology of the Octopus Network is Octopus Relay – a collection of smart contracts that run on top of the NEAR Protocol. Octopus Relay allows Appchains to interact with NEAR Protocol or Ethereum via Rainbow Bridge. Alternatively, Appchain can use an IBC pallet to connect directly to any blockchain that supports IBC. Accordingly, any crypto-assets issued on Ethereum, NEAR Protocol or any blockchain that supports IBC can be transferred to the Octopus Network to use Appchains and vice versa.
