Unleashing an Innovation Wave on Web3 Octopus Network is a new multichain crypto network created to bootstrap and run decentralized application chains, aka Appchains. By providing flexible leased security, out-of-box interoperability, one-stop infrastructure, and a ready-to-be-engaged community, Octopus Network is unleashing an innovation wave on Web3.0. Appchains need security, but bootstrapping PoS security is labor-intensive and expensive. It commonly takes several years and more than a few million dollars to bootstrap an independent Appchain with sound security. Trustless cross-blockchain interoperability sits at the core of the Octopus Network protocol stack. The cross-chain hub of the network, the Octopus Relay, is not an independent layer1 blockchain but a set of smart contracts running on NEAR Protocol that implements the security leasing market (LPoS). Appchains are interoperable with NEAR and blockchains outside the Octopus Network, such as with Ethereum or any IBC enabled blockchains directly via the out-of-box IBC pallet. Support for Web3 Teams The Octopus Foundation believes in a vibrant community of projects, where founders can interact in an open, entrepreneurial environment in order to effectively innovate. Thus, we've launched the Octopus Accelerator Programme — a 90-day Batch of composable courses designed as a structured acceleration framework to initiate the future of Web 3.0. Web3 Teams can supercharge their mature-stage project with mentoring, training, expert advice, and partnerships, while learning from a large knowledge pool of major topics including tokenomics, marketing, compliance, solutions architecture, and web 3.0. Gain access to an expansive community of other projects, investors, marketers, and subject-matter experts, and become eligible to receive grants of up to $50,000 upon successful completion of the process.
