Introduction to OKC (OKX Chain)

OKC is a layer 1 blockchain network built on the Cosmos platform by OKX, the widely-used cryptocurrency spot and derivatives exchange. OKC is one of the first networks to be both EVM and IBC compatible, which allows it to run Ethereum smart contracts and to communicate with other blockchain networks in the Interchain ecosystem. Alongside its mainnet launch, OKC issued its native token, OKT, which serves as the base token for the OKC blockchain's Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. Its DPos mechanism allows users to earn rewards for participating in the network by staking their OKT.

OKC has a strong focus on making its chain as interoperable and performant as possible, which enables it to be more accessible to developers and users. This allows for seamless on-chain trading of all types of assets within a cross-chain ecosystem. The optimal interoperability and performance of the OKC ecosystem and infrastructure provide a seamless experience for both developers and users. At a high throughput of 5,000 TPS for contract interactions, developers can build and scale their applications on the OKC network with low gas fees.

Explanation of OKC’s commitment to interoperability - the benefits of its EVM and IBC compatibility

One of the obstacles to the widespread adoption of blockchain technology has been the lack of interoperability between different blockchains. This lack of communication can make it difficult for users to take advantage of the unique features of different chains, and can limit the growth and development of the blockchain ecosystem as a whole. In addition, non-interoperability can create barriers to entry for new users and developers, who may need to learn multiple blockchain networks in order to access and interact with them. OKC is committed to solving these issues through its focus on interoperability, which allows users to easily launch decentralized applications, issue digital assets, create trading pairs, and trade freely. By using cross-chain technology like IBC and EVM compatibility, OKC is opening up new opportunities for value creation and transfer.
