OKT is a blockchain smart contract network designed with trading in mind. Developers can build Web3 decentralized applications on top of the chain, enabling trading and the exchange of a wide range of decentralized assets. The project focuses on delivering a complete, developer-friendly, and efficient infrastructure so teams can bring their applications to life. OKT is supported by the larger OKX ecosystem, one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges, which also includes a wallet as part of its product lineup.

OKT serves as the platform’s native currency and functions as a utility token. It’s used to cover transaction fees and to help steer network governance.

What are OKT’s key features and how does it work?

OKT has introduced a distinctive idea of “blockchain middleware” to meet its objectives-essentially, a setup that supports decentralized app creation. To make this possible, OKX uses Tendermint along with Distributed Proof-of-Stake consensus, helping keep operational overhead low. The outcome is reduced transaction fees and lower network costs for everyone involved, including developers and end-users.

What can OKT be used for?

People holding OKT can participate in the network’s governance and also support the platform’s security. Governance works through an on-chain system where proposals can be submitted and voted on. OKT can also be delegated to validators on the OKT blockchain, letting token owners earn rewards for contributing through the network’s Proof-of-Stake consensus process. To become a validator, at least 10,000 OKT must be staked.
