OCTOPUS NETWORK: Incubating Sovereign Chains, OCT Token, NEAR and more - Sheldon Dearr, Technical Lead
Remember to LIKE the episode AND SUBSCRIBE to the show! Octopus Network is a NEAR-based protocol for hosting sovereign application-specific blockchains (Appchains). Through staking the OCT token, Octopus validators lease their security to Appchains, which reward validators in their native token. Sheldon Dearr, Octopus' Technical Lead, is here to discuss the OCT ecosystem, enabling cross-chain communication with IBC, why most new blockchain projects fail, and other absorbing subjects.
