Okto Ecosystem

What is Okto?

Okto is a comprehensive orchestration layer designed to simplify the complex world of blockchain technology. Our goal is to make Web3 more accessible by addressing common challenges such as:

• Chain Abstraction (accessing multiple blockchains seamlessly),
• Account Management (secure self-custody without complex private key handling),
• Transaction Handling (orchestration and automation of multi-step, cross-chain tasks),
• Fee Management (abstracting away different gas tokens and payment flows).

Our goal is to help both developers and end-users navigate Web3 effortlessly, enabling a new era of decentralized applications with Web2-like simplicity.

Background & Motivation

While Web3 promises decentralization, transparency, and user empowerment, mainstream adoption has been hindered by challenges like:

• Complex Wallet Management: Users often need to juggle multiple wallets, manage private keys, and remember numerous seed phrases.
• Diverse Gas Fee Requirements: Navigating varying native tokens for gas across different networks complicates transactions.
• Fragmented Liquidity and Bridging: Moving assets between chains involves multiple protocols and bridging steps.
• Inconsistent Developer Experiences: Building on diverse blockchain networks often requires dealing with low-level details and bespoke integrations.

Okto was created to bridge these gaps by combining robust crypto primitives with a developer-friendly abstraction layer. Our goal is to make blockchain interactions as simple as “click and done,” allowing dApps to onboard users without friction and empowering developers to build innovative applications without deep blockchain expertise.

Okto's Suite of Products

The Okto Ecosystem is built on a modular architecture that includes both user-facing applications and underlying infrastructural components. Each product plays a specific role in ensuring secure, efficient, and scalable blockchain operations.

Okto SDK is the bridge that connects traditional web applications with the exciting world of Web3, without requiring extensive blockchain knowledge. Learn more about Okto SDK and how to use it here.

3. Okto Chain

Okto Chain is a specialized, ZK-based Layer 2 built on Polygon CDK that serves as the immutable coordination layer for the entire ecosystem. It provides:

• Immutable Recordkeeping: Securely storing user intents, payload commitments, and execution logs in a tamper-proof manner.
• Policy Enforcement: Validating and enforcing rules for interactions between components.
• Event-Driven Orchestration: Emitting on-chain events (e.g., job creation, assignment, and termination) for automatic coordination with other Okto services.

Think of Okto Chain as the “command center” for verifying, storing, and finalizing all cross-chain operations in a trust-minimized environment.

4. Decentralized Wallet Network (DWN)

The Decentralized Wallet Network (DWN) is the backbone for wallet management in the Okto ecosystem. Key features include:

• Unified Wallet Experience: Provision and manage cross-chain smart wallets that eliminate the need for multiple, separate wallets.
• MPC-Based Security: Uses Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to securely sign transactions without exposing private keys.
• Seamless Integration: Works behind the scenes to enable user authentication and transaction signing.

With DWN, users don’t have to memorize seed phrases or manage multiple wallets; everything is handled through secure, decentralized signers.

5. Decentralized Transaction Network (DTN)

The Decentralized Transaction Network (DTN) is the orchestration engine that processes and executes complex cross-chain transactions. Its capabilities include:

• Intent Decomposition: Breaking down high-level user intents into atomic sub-transactions that can be executed independently across different chains.
• Secure Coordination: Interacting with DWN for MPC-based transaction signing and with ULL for optimal liquidity routing.
• Asynchronous Management: Managing parallel execution with defined ordering through on-chain events, ensuring reliable “soft finality” for each sub-transaction.
• Error Handling & Recovery: Automatic monitoring and retry mechanisms to handle network volatility and transaction failures.

By handling asynchronous multi-chain complexity, the DTN reduces the risk of user errors and failed transactions.

6. Unified Liquidity Layer (ULL)

The Unified Liquidity Layer (ULL) aggregates cross-chain liquidity, acting as an “aggregator of aggregators” to optimize asset transfers. Its primary functions are:

• Liquidity Aggregation: Consolidating liquidity from various sources such as native bridges, DEX protocols, and third-party providers.
• Optimal Routing: Select the best available route based on real-time data regarding fees, speed, and available liquidity.
• Standardized Execution: Implementing cross-chain trade execution via smart contracts compliant with standards like ERC-7683.
• Settlement Coordination: Working with solvers and settlers to ensure that cross-chain operations are executed securely and efficiently.

This ensures users get optimal swap and bridging routes without manually navigating multiple portals.
